According to some people, travel is simply to go somewhere to relax or view the sightseeing. In my opinion, when I go to travel, either go abroad or go somewhere in my country, what I learned after every trip is the most important. So I learn many, many new things via those trips.
I still remember, when I was in university, I went with my friends to the countryside for several days. We did not brings much money, so we decided to camping on the field and the yard of a very kind farmer family. In these days, we learned many things from this farmer and we taught the children how to read and to write. Although the living in countryside is more difficult than the city's, we are still very happy to live there.
Every time I went to travel abroad, I learn many things from culture, life style, ... I am very exciting when go travel because I meet and make friend with many people. The most thing I like when I go travel abroad is I can use English to communicate with people. Truth me, I am serious. Although I can speak English with my friends in my country, we just talk for a short time. When I travel, I must use the English all days, so after every trip, it motivated me to learn English more and more.
I know my experience is so boring, but I just want to write what I know and what I think about travel. Thank you for your reading.
Yes, i agree with you. When you go abroad for traveling, you will found that English is the most useful tool. In China, we have English class from primary school. I hated it and always refused to learn it. I couldn't understand why i needed to study a language which i would never have chance to use. But now i understand. By the way, you experience is not boring :)
ReplyDeleteNot boring Tom! I can imagine your camping experience in Vietnam. Reading all of the class' blogs is making me want to work on my Spanish and travel!
ReplyDeleteWow, Tom! your experience is really awesome, I also could experienced like your case, old man allowed me to sleep his house in Helsinki and when I asked a route to go Oslo a man drive me to the city center of Oslo. And I also agree with your other opinion traveling can make us experience their culture and permit to make friend.
