4 . Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.

One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.

Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world.

It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world.

In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.

Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station.

There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you.

It was a bright and sunny morning on March 16th as the students of Princeton High School gathered in the campus (校园), talking with excitement. The air was filled with laughter, chatter, and the clatter of students’ backpacks. The teachers were ready to lead the way and ensure a safe, memorable and educational experience.

We were setting out on a school trip to Oceanview National Park by bus. As the buses went into the park, all of us were greeted by the beautiful sights of trees, a clear lake, and the sound of singing birds. We could not wait to explore the wonders within the park.

The students separated into smaller groups and set off to explore the park. We came across various wildlife as we explored, from cute squirrels to colorful birds. My best friend, Mike, was surprised at the breath-taking waterfalls falling down moss-covered rocks, while Jessie, John and Lucy and I discovered hidden caves that seemed like a fairy tale.

As the day ended, the students gathered around a campfire, sharing stories, and creating lasting memories. The next morning, we left Oceanview National Park and travelled back to Princeton High School. We got a renewed sense of wonder and cherished memories that would last a lifetime.

What a fun, memorable and educational journey!

8 . Traveling can be expensive. But there are some ways to save money when traveling. Try some of the advice below on your next vacation and your wallet will thank you.

Look for city tourism cards. With the card, you can pay less at restaurants and shops. You don’t have to wait for a long time at busy attractions. You might even get free tickets to top tourist attractions. City tourism cards can save your money and time without question.

Don’t get the best room. How long will you stay in your room? Will you just be sleeping there?

Do you really need a bigger room with a good view (景色)?

Find a hotel outside a city. It can help you save some money by choosing a hotel away from big tourist attractions, for you are always doing the same — go to the attractions and then return to your hotel to sleep.

Book (预订) a room with a kitchen. Although some people might not like to cook while on vacation, I don’t mind making breakfast in my room.
