Four Best Cities to Visit in Winter

Cold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial. But here are four cities around the

world that make for a great cold-weather destination:

Prague,Czech Republic

With its snow-capped spires and winding streets,Pragueis a fairytale city that remains ly tourist-free in winter.

The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas

being the old town, with its Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center,

adding a romantic color1 to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.

Salzburg,Austria

With its Christmas songs and traditional markets, this is a perfect city for a winter break. “Silent Night” was

performed for the first time in thechurchofOberndorfon the border ofSalzburgon Christmas Eve in 1818.

The city's main market is held in the shadow ofSalzburg'sHohensalzburgCastle, but the one held inMirabell

Squareis especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as halusky—pieces of dumpling

mixed with fried bacon.

Tromso,Norway

Tromso is widely regarded asNorway's most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights. There

are several attractive museums, including thePolarMuseum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic

expeditions, and theTromsoMuseum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.

Amsterdam,Netherlands

In winter,Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as

Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House. Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carre Theater is more than 130

years old. Children will love the spectacular performances.

B

It’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren

were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% said

they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of

over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.

While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online

indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed

said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”

In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have

produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.

In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know

who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”

Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as

checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they

have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming,

having their permission is key,” he said.

The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra

Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact

of sharenting(晒娃)– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take

their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”

4.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?

A. Skeptical. B. Unconcerned. C. Tolerant. D. Unwilling.

5.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A. Summarize the previous paragraph.

B. Provide some advice for parents.
