   I have just arrived in a country where I don't know the language, where I have no family roots and where I find myself all alone. It may sound frightening. But let me tell you a little secret: it is not.

When you travel abroad by yourself for whatever reason-an exchange program, an internship(实习期的工作), volunteering, or simply as a tourist-a new and fascinating world will open up for you, a world you would never be able to see if you just stayed at home.

People from a different country are not aliens. They are simply people like you who happened to be born in another place. They have pretty much the same wishes and worries as people from your own country.

I know that you see a lot of news on TV saying bad things people do all the time. Your family may have spent a great deal of time telling you not to trust strangers. However, when you travel alone you will realize that people are just as good as you. Everyone is just leading their lives, working, studying and having a good time with their friends. Most people will be happy to help you and get to know you.

Maybe in the past when you would need months to travel from one place to another, traveling could be expensive. Nowadays, the world is just so connected that it is perfectly possible to find cheap flights, accommodation for all budgets and cheap and quality food.

You will get lost, but it's fine! I can't even count how many times I didn't know where I was going or how to find the right direction. Everything looks great on Google maps, but sometimes your phone will die or your data will end. Just calm down. Go to a store or stop someone in the street and ask! Or simply walk around and be curious.

   Now many young people are travelling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. She said, “It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that that can make it on their own.

Chris decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had travelled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the man.

Chris describes travelling alone will make you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

As the saying goes, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

【小题1】Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A.Travelling abroad helps people to find new things.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D.Travelling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
【小题2】Travelling alone is challenging because ________.
A.you have to choose things on your own
B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
