Ever wonder what walking the Great Wall of China would be like? Ever dreamed of feeling the fresh cold air of Canada? What's it like eating baguettes in France next to the Eiffel Tower? Traveling is a popular dream among all of us, and making it a reality is a great learning experiences! I visited Canada in April of 2017, and had a personal emotional attachment to the culture and the whole environment, and the people I traveled with could say the same. Traveling is truly the most exciting part in a person's life because it makes their dreams of meeting different cultures a reality and gives them perspectives of seeing the world differently.
Traveling is an exciting learning experience. When people want to learn a different language, traveling a different country will tremendously help them learn it. People usually learn their first language by hearing it all the time by their family. When foreigners go to a different country, assimilating to the language is much easier if they continue to hear it. When I visited Canada, and heard Canadian French on the radio, in the streets, and in their music, it felt wonderful that I could understand what they were saying and it made it easier actually processing the beautiful language. I always wondered why I couldn't learn French that well in the United States of America, it's because I was so used to hearing English all the time. This proves that traveling helps people learn languages better because hearing that second language all
Every year, the country of Canada receives over 16 million international visitors, and more than 7.5 million of those tourists visit Ontario, Canada, the country’s most dominant province. Many people hope to travel to Ontario to explore its wonderful attractions. Recently, I went to Ontario, Canada, and was lucky enough to tour Ontario and view its gorgeous sights. While traveling, I realized that Ontario can be enjoyable for anyone of any demographic. Every travel enthusiast should get the chance to take a vacation in Ontario because of how distinct this destination is from other vacation spots.
Studying a foreign language also gives students insight to another culture. As John Christie said, "Learning to speak a foreign language helps you to understand the people who speak the language." Foreign language study helps students to understand why people think other ways and why some of their traditions came to be.
For some people, their idea of traveling is to get on the road to Dubuque. But for Cole Wickham, an active 10th grader at Anamosa High School, traveling includes seeing half of the United States, as well as Canada and Jamaica. Cole says he likes traveling because he gets to experience new things.
My American ExperienceAmerica is home to millions of people. I have lived my life in America my entire sixteen years on this world, and have cherished every second of it. Through these sixteen years, I have been able to establish my own thoughts and feelings on what the American experience is about to me. I may have my own opinions, though others may disagree with them. I cannot live the life of the millions of people living in America, nor can I explain the American experience on their behalf through their experiences. My own interpretation is a product all the experiences I have gone through growing up in America. As a child I was in the process of developing my own character and learning new things. I grew up with the impression that You can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. That is what America is all about the land of dreams and opportunity. If I wanted to become a doctor, I could become one. There s nothing stopping me from becoming president or anything else I want to be. But you don t become president like that. It takes hard work and determination to accomplish anything, hence the phrase if you put your mind to it. The path to success may not be an easy one, but only through hard work and education can it be obtained. Some say we are slaves to society forced to spend our worthless lives working nonstop. Perhaps one can make that case when referring to a country such as Russia, where the people work for the success of the country with a communist
Travelling provides a way for creating relationships and experiencing new cultures, while escaping the hardships of daily life.
When I first moved to Canada, I became a victim of this threat known as bullying. In grade 4, in 2008, I had first come to Canada, from India. I didn’t know how to speak English, and so, people used this as an excuse to pick on me. One kid whole bullied me a lot was Ravi. He used to make fun of me because I couldn’t talk to others and told other that I was anti-social. Also, he would take any good lunch I had, he would make fun of me when playing games, and even spread false rumours. I first kept my bullying problems hidden from my parents, but gradually, as things got worse, I told them. They talked to our teacher, Mr. Douglas. Mr. Douglas talked to Ravi, and he stopped bullying me. Even though he isn’t the friendliest person today, he doesn’t
Traveling can be enjoyable and frightening at the same time. Being from Honduras, my family would travel back in forth from the U.S. to Honduras every summer. Being able to experience living in two different cultures was a good experience and allowed for a more understanding approach of different societies and how the identity of the people living in those Society’s is unique.
When I was five years old, I began the road trip that changed my life. I was born in Guatemala and my family and I decided to move to Canada for my father's new career. The journey had a duration of two weeks and was full of ups and downs, but I would not have wanted it to be any other way. This adventure really showed me the value of exploring new places, meeting new people, and gaining different perspectives. Since this occurrence, I have developed a strong passion for travel, getting to know new cultures, and learning new languages.
There are numberless reasons why anybody would want to go an travel but according to Carmen Allan-Petale (Allan-Petale, 2013) the number 1 reason is " Getting out of your own comfort zone" and being able to challenge yourself in vastly different situations. This is super beneficial to everyone whether you're a a tech guru trying to build a multimillionaire company to a lawyer who's defending an innocent man. It never hurts to learn how to act quick on your feet and being able to resolve problems that normally might frighten you. And traveling does just that, going to a foreign country and not being able to speak or understand a single word the locals are saying or traversing through an entire desert or just getting out of your comfort zone will inevitably hone your skills at being susceptible to any
Around the age of 13, and before moving to Canada, I used to attend a private school in Egypt called the Chouifat. I experienced some of my best memories and some of my worst. I have met some really inspiring people that taught me a lot, and I met some stupid people that carried me down the wrong path. I have done a great deal of good during my 9 years in that school and I have done a lot of bad too. During my last day of school I did something that was incredibly foolish. I decided to jump over the wall that surrounded the school. And this wall was not some cute wall that you can hope over, no! It was a 7 foot, rusty, old, unsafe, disgusting, dust covered wall. After I climbed and jumped off the wall on to the street, I hear a screeching
many people around the world. However, they should consider the cost they have to pay beside just moving to a new country. I don’t remember if I had any hopes for during first year moving to the United States. My parents want me to study in a good educational system, and they think that United States has a good one. Obviously, my parents aren’t the only ones. My role in this event is mostly passive because I am not the one who make the decision. Instead, I just follow the order and do what I should or have to do.
My experience of moving to the USA included a couple of steps such as preparing, arriving, and adopting. Moving to America was one of the most thrilling and exciting experiences I have ever had in my life. It all started after I graduated from high school. I had always dreamed of going to abroad to study in a better school to be successful in life. My dad was leaving me hints here and there that he was going to send me America for school, but I was sure that it wasn’t going to happen because getting a student visa was tough back then. However, that summer when I saw that letter in my mail from the immigration department of USA for an interview, I was speechless.
America is a little spotty. On the way here, I thought it was going to be the best experience that I’ve ever had. Now that I have made it from the revolting ship ride, I have come to realize that America is just a place that doesn’t like to accept new people. They have treated me like I’m absurd! One moment, I am on the ship- smelled like not just one, but thousands of cats had died on there, and people were crammed into this small little place under the boat which I was one of them. Being claustrophobic and dealing with that is torture. People were getting sick from low amount of food and water, not bathing, no medicine, etc. When I say the ship ride was awful, I really mean deplorable!
While vacation may seem like a week away from home, traveling has so many positive aspects. Whether one travels for a few days, or for a year, it can open the eyes of many people and change their views. While on the road, people often discover who they really are and create relationships with people they will never forget. During this adventure, people learn new languages, and connect with the world in a new way. Traveling is beneficial to both a persons mental and physical health; it makes the mind more creative, and it's a great way to exercise .
