Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone #1 (permalink) Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:42 am   Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone
 

“Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.

In my country, traveling is the most popular activity that people do on vacation. It is necessary to roughly think not only about; where are you going? , and how long is the trip? , but also who are you going with? Some individuals want to travel with one of his or her friends. However, others feel that traveling alone is more preferable. Personally, I love to travel with one of my trusted friends. The following essay will provide reasons and examples to explain my position.

First of all, We, I and my trusted friend, are able to support each other during the trip. We can share things together. Closer to the point, we can make a deal before traveling, for example, I will be a person who take soaps, toothpaste, and shampoo while my companion will take the necessary food and drug. So, we do not need to carry too many things on our back.

Furthermore, I can learn about his or her attitude and, consequently, knows him or her better than before. More contrast, we will face many things during the trip, hence we need to discuss about it, exchange the ideas to one another. So, it is undeniable that I will know my companion much better when the traveling ends.
However, some people may argue that going to travel alone is more convenient because they do not have to ask for a commitment. But I think this is one lesson of my life to learn about negotiation. For example, when we have a different opinion about the museums we want to visit, I have to find some reasons to alter his mind and persuade him or her to go to the place I want to visit. This means, the practice of negotiation is beginning.

In conclusion, I prefer to travel with my friend; going out with a close friend is an enjoyable activity for me. Certainly, I will not forget to invite one of them for my next vacation.

Good morning Omo. Nice to see your picture. Now I feel I actually know you. :-)

Your essay is OK, but your opening paragraph needs tidying up. You could never present such a badly constructed paragraph in your exam. I have the feeling that you write as you think, rather than thinking before you write. Spend a little more time constructing your work before you begin writing.

Kitos. 7.5/10

Good morning Kitos. I think I already understand your point. After reading my essay carefully, I found that some paragraphs need to tidy up as you said. I'll try to make it better... Thank a lot!
Have a nice day.
