In Vilnius,I found comfort in a website,which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours.These tours became the highlight of my trip.I took five tours,each morning setting out to explore the city’s old town,a UNESCO World Heritage Site,and sent Stephen photos each night.Our guide,Ieva,shared her deep knowledge of history and culture.I connected with travellers from various backgrounds,including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibition.I also traced my grandmother’s footsteps in Jewish Vilnius,visiting places she might have known.These tours,full of surprises,were perfect for a solo traveller,offering connection and flexibility.On my last day,Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation.
I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges.I navigated apartment lockboxes,shopped in local supermarkets,and cooked,activities I was once less skillful at.In Poland,I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours,adapting to larger groups.I walked over 20,000 steps daily,often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals.In Lodz,I took a private tour with Milena,who helped me find my family’s history,including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war.
Stephen was hospitalised just before I returned,and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos.His recovery was slow,but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly,benefiting us both.This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own.

Ⅱ.七选五
(2025·山东淄博一模)
Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life.Following long seasons of hard work,it is well deserved to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature.
While tourism is good,it has its dark side.Besides emission-based pollution,tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution.This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing.　8　 When it comes to ecotourism,your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.
　9　 If a park says no to feeding wildlife,simply avoid feeding them.Most times,what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk.If parks allowed every person to feed animals,chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high.
In our efforts to protect nature,we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures.The local communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life.When you visit such local communities,you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife.　10　 Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.
Most people are not sustainability conscious.　11　 We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas.The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person.However,sharing your experience may help others have different perspectives.
At the end of the day,sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality.　12　 However,every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.
A.No rule fits all situations concerning this topic.
B.The reason for this is that they think it cannot be achieved.
C.Protect our lives from potential danger by following regulations.
D.The best way to care for nature and wildlife is to follow the rules.
E.Instead of being critical,take your time to learn from their practices.
F.An ecotourist focuses on protecting nature,culture and social practices.
G.The term ecotourism is often used interchangeably with sustainable tourism.
