How to travel abroad by oneself.

 

   Do you want to travel abroad by yourself? But are you a university student who don't have enough time and money? Don't worry about that. Here is a perfect steps for you! With these steps, I will travel to Thailand on this summer vacation. Just like me, you can make it. At first, before 6 months, set the country where you to go and find perfect date for travel. In this step, you have to consider money and when is your vacation. Find the cheapest date on your vacation. Then you will know how much is it, and start to get a job or save your allowance. Second, at least before 3 or 4 months, buy a plane ticket. If you worked hard, you will have enough money for ticket. And buy a ticket earlier is good. But, if a plane ticket it more expensive than your budget, you can change the date or find cheaper. After buy a plane ticket, if you have enough money for reservation, make a reservation. Choose where will you sleep, hotel or guesthouse. You don't have to do it, but make a reservation earlier is good. Third, before 2 or 1 month, gather information about that country. Use internet, books, whatever. Try to make a tour course. It don't have to be perfect. Just write about what you want to do on trip and make it in order. And make a budget too. Fourth, before 2 or 1 week, check your plan again. Plane ticket, passport, reservation, transportation and tour course etc. Make a list for pack up. Learn some words or sentences in that country would be good. If you have enough time and money, use duty-free shop on city would be useful. Follow these steps, you can travel abroad by yourself without parent's help. But it's not include using travel company. It could be limited when you choose something. Because it's for student who want to travel by oneself. But it makes your proud of it.

  1. Hi this is Kahee Lee.
    What I like about your writing is that you used the right time order words in each step.
    Your main points seems to be explaining how to get ready for traverling abroad. So I think that the title would be more fit if you change it like 'getting ready to travel abroad'.
    I think some of the conjunctions are not right in the flow of the paragraph. Like in the last sentence, 'But~' I think 'but' is not the best word to start the sentence, because you did not mention why traveling by yourself makes you proud. Also I couldn't understand the sentence 'It could be limited~', I don't know what is to choose; is it a package plan or just letting the travel company doing reservations for you?
    Then I will be seeing you in class!

  2. Hello I'm Yun You Jung. Because I like traveling, I can sympathize with you and get useful information through this writing.

    Your paragraph have a topic sentence. And I can indentify that you will describe how to travel alone. But you only describe what we should prepare before travle. I can't find what we should do during the tour. It would be better if you add information related to this. And you provide background information in this sentence, "With these steps, I will travel to Thailand on this summer vacation.". Also you use time order words like at first, second, third. I can clarify the order of the steps easily thanks to these. And you explain usefulness of this writing through this line, "Follow these steps, you can travel abroad by yourself without parent's help.". This sentence also can be the concluding sentence, and I think this sentence restate the main idea well.

    Thank you for your writing! I can get useful information thanks to your writing. See you in the class!
