1 . I had a great dream when I was in my twenties. I wanted to travel around Africa with my _________. So I left my hometown with great confidence and _________ Cape Town, not really_________ what to do next. Luckily, before my trip actually started, I met a kind, old Nigerian man. He gave me the best travel _________ I had ever received. “Be like a(n) _________on your way around the world.”
It sounded _________, but it really changed my idea about travelling. He helped me realize that travel is about learning and observing local _________. “It’s far too easy to go into a(n) _________ country and believe your ways are better. But if you study, ask questions and try to learn from the locals, you’ll have far richer _________,” he promised me.
On other vacations, when I was on my tour way to Cancun. I was __________ a tourist. I only stayed there for a week to see the __________ and places of interest and then left. The culture didn’t __________me. I left the cities and towns without really knowing anyone or anything that existed in those places to which I had paid a visit.
This time, I promised to myself that I would be a __________ traveler. After seven months of__________ backpacking in Africa from Cape Town to Cairo, I realized that having a student-like mindset (观念模式) helped extend my trip and helped me learn a lot, which __________ me more than any other trips ever did to me.
