【推荐3】Traveling alone can be daunting (令人畏缩的), I have traveled by myself many times but, on every occasion, there was someone to meet me at the other end of the bus, train or plane journey.     1     Last week I had a holiday from work, but none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved a bed in a hostel for one week.

One week by myself.     2     Would I be bored? Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits that come from traveling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums learning the related history, which would have seemed boring and dull to some of my friends, I walked all around the city, which some people may have found too exhausting.     3     I discovered my independence and developed map-reading skills that I didn't know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didn’t have to wait for anyone else to shower and get ready every morning. Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help combat loneliness.

    4     I missed having someone to talk to. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards. Without a travel partner, I won’t be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure with a friend or family member in years to come.

In addition, those days, I found eating in restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own. I am very proud of myself for traveling alone, and I had a fantastic time in Toronto.     5     Though, maybe it depends on who you travel with — I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative.

A．However, in the future, I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or in a small group.

B．In spite of the benefits, I found that there were also some disadvantages of traveling alone.

C．Instead of relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do,

D．Would I be alarmed?

E．This time was different.

F．Would I be lonely?

G．Apart from turning to some strangers for help occasionally when in trouble,
