The ADVANTAGES OF TRAVELLING- essay

The advantages of travelling

A GROUPWORK

Travelling may be an amazing and a life-changing experience. No matter where you go, travelling can help you disconnect from your own problems and your own boring routine; these are some of the benefits you can get travelling, other benefits are...

Be relaxed.

When you travel you connect with the outside world, doing this you move away from the negative feelings that you face daily.

Nature, meditation and the journey itself are reasons to think about yourself. This will help you to relax, not to be stressed and help you not to overthink.

Know yourself better

Traveling is a therapy for your soul.  And when you travel you understand a lot about yourself. Often the reasons for a departure arise internally, not externally.  For example, there are those who leave to escape from an unhappy life,some of them feel overwhelmed by duties and responsibilities and some others find answers to questions that started inside their mind.

Sometimes the destination is not even important: the only thing that matters is traveling and restarting certain soul mechanisms that have stopped working in everyday life.

Customs and habits

Another benefit about travel is getting to know new customs and habits. Traveling also means identifying with the culture of the inhabitants of other countries. When you travel you can learn new languages, new traditions, new people, new recipes, change your way of seeing life, you can grow inwardly and have new experiences that enrich your cultural background. When you return from a trip you feel more responsible, freer and more serene and also more peaceful because the trip is therapeutic and allows you to clear your mind.

Write about your favourite movie

Putting together your answers write down a text. At the end you can add something else if you want or an image of the movie

1. What type of film is it? (a cartoon, a rom com, a horror film, a thriller, an action movie, a fantasy movie, a science fiction movie)

2. When did you see it?

3. Were you alone or with your friends?

4. Who was the director?

5. Who are the actors in that movie?

6. What are the names of the main characters?

7.What about the acting?( great, excellent, terrible, awful, unexpected, predictable, enjoyable, unusual)

8. What is it about?

9. Did you like the soundtrack?

10. Did you have fun?

11. Were you scared?

12. Which part of the movie did you like most?

This is an example, a text written by one of the students in the second class. 

My favourite movie

My favourite movie is a cartoon and its name is “Space Jam”.                        

If I remember well, I was 5 when I saw it for the first time and I wasn’t alone:

my parents were with me because we were having dinner. I was so happy

that my parents understood it was the time to relax.

Obviously, every favourite movie has something people like. So, there are

three things I like about “Space Jam”:

1. The excellent acting;

2. The soundtrack;

3. A part of the movie in which the lost basketball skills come back to

the owners (some NBA players) by touching a basketball.

In my opinion,  the movie tells an usual story because Michael Jordan

meets Bugs Bunny and his friends; but it’s unique too because it doesn’t

happen to find a film like this every day. Moreover, it’s nice to see a very

important basketball player as an actor that shows himself: at the

beginning, he decides to withdraw basketball and start playing as a baseball

player; Then, when he understands the situation of Bugs and his friends

(they had to clash with an enemy team to save their world), he decides to

help them; at the end, he decides to play the last basketball match of his

life.

To conclude, the main characters are Michael Jordan and those ones of

Looney Tones; the actors and the actresses seem  to be themselves in

the acting; and the director is Joe Pytka.
