　　1. How can people benefit from traveling? 人们在旅行中能够收获什么?

　　Well, travelling is wonderful in many ways, and there are a lot of benefits people can have from it. First of all, travelling lets people disconnect from their regular life, relax and get new experiences. It also helps them open their eyes to how the rest of the world lives and, as a result, gain a broader worldview. While travelling, people get to know different places, get accustomed to different cultures, increase their general knowledge and make friends from all over the globe. All these things and experiences make them inspired and happy and create memories for a lifetime.

　　2. Do you like to travel on your own or with your family? 你喜欢自己旅行还是和家人一起旅行?

　　Well, I really enjoy travelling on my own 'cause from time to time I need a break from my family and friends. I like to feel freedom, do what I want without being judged and be flexible with time, destinations and decisions I make. Travelling alone also lets me learn more about myself and what I am capable of, overcome my fears and achieve focus of mind. What is more. it lets me learn to listen to my heart, make new friends and experience new things, choosing those people and activities I really want but not have to choose.

　　4. Do you like to visit popular places or less-known places? 你喜欢去热门旅行景点还是不太著名的景点?

　　Well, I would say it depends on my travel goals. I usually opt for popular destinations when I want to get some enjoyable experience, see lots of beautiful things and attractions, make new friends with people from different countries and have a lot of entertainment and fun. But when I am really tired and dream to get away from all the noise, walk along less crowded streets and beaches, enjoy more privacy and downtime and spend all my time with people I travel with. I go to off the beaten path places and enjoy peace and quite which I lack in my daily life.

　　5. Do people prefer long trips or short trips? 人们更喜欢长途旅行还是短途旅行?

　　Well, I think it depends on what they want from their trip or vacation. If they want to fully immerse in the place or places they visit, they definitely opt for longer trips. Such trips don't only let people gain more knowledge and experience but also give them more time to really unplug and refresh. What is more, they let people save money on lodging costs because the longer you stay in the hotel, the less money you pay for extra nights. But if people just want to quickly recharge the batteries and get back to routine, they choose shorter trips which are a quick way to relieve stress. This kind of trips gives people a chance to seize the moment and go on vacation whenever they want. Moreover, it takes less planning time, costs less, exposes travelers to more surroundings and makes them feel happier than on long trips because enjoyment wanes as people get accustomed to their holiday lifestyle.

　　6. What kind of problems do people have when traveling? 在旅行中会遇到什么困难?

　　Well, first of all, these are the problems connected with safety issues, I mean being robbed in the street or having valuables stolen from the hotel room. One more common kind of problems people face is budget problems like running out of money or just not having enough money to deal with problems or mishaps. Speaking another language is also quite a big problem for the majority of travelers. And, of course, flying problems such as delayed or cancelled flights, not enough leg-room on the plane, long queues at check-in and jet-lag if people fly across the Atlantic.

　　7. Why are more and more young people going on long trips nowadays? 为什么如今越来越多的年轻人去长途旅行?

　　Well, I guess, first of all, because only long trips let the young to escape from the daily grind and everyday stressors and reset before returning to their normal life. One more reason why young people opt for long trips is a chance to see more places of interest and learn more about the world and themselves getting awesome and unforgettable experiences, expanding social networks and developing skills in problem-solving and creative thinking. Long journeys al youth become more independent, mature, get food for thought and have tons of stories to recall. I think these are the main things that make long trips appealing to the young.

　　8. Why do people need holidays? 为什么人们需要假期?

　　Oh, I guess for a variety of reasons. First of all, people need rest just because they need to switch off from time to time, I mean leave their worries behind them. let off some steam and spend quality time with their families or friends. Secondly, it's really important for people to go on vacation in order to avoid monotony and prevent their mind and body from stagnating. A change from daily routine always lets people get back to work refreshed, in better form and ready to take on the world. I would also add that holidays are essential 'cause they help people broaden their horizons and memorable experiences, which lets everyone feel more fulfilled in the long run.
