Pack Light: Level 1 Reading Comprehension Questions

A heavy bag makes a trip harder. You carry it through stations, up stairs, and onto buses. So many travelers learn one simple rule: pack light.

Start by laying out everything you think you need. Then take away half of it. Most people bring more clothes than they will ever wear. Choose a few items in colors that match, so you can mix them. Wear your heaviest shoes on the plane instead of packing them. Roll your clothes to save space. Keep what is important close: your papers, your money, and your phone.

A light bag is easy to carry and quick to pack. You spend less time waiting and more time seeing the place you came to see. The best trips often fit in one small bag.
