Ejercicio 1

Read the article below. Discuss, with a partner, the purpose of the text.

Identifico el tipo de texto: es un artículo breve de opinión con cuatro subtítulos numerados.
Reviso la fuente citada al final: www.buildabroad.org, un sitio sobre viajes y estudios en el extranjero.
Observo el tono: el autor enumera ventajas y usa expresiones persuasivas ("you will get to know yourself better", "it is much easier").
Concluyo que el propósito es informar y persuadir al lector de que viajar solo tiene ventajas.

Respuesta orientativa: The purpose of the text is to inform and persuade readers about the advantages of travelling alone. The author lists four benefits and uses a positive, encouraging tone to convince young people that solo travel is a valuable personal experience.

Ejercicio 2

Read the text again. Write the one benefit that you consider to be the best and explain why you think so.

Reviso los cuatro beneficios: (1) conocerte mejor, (2) salir de tu zona de confort, (3) es más barato, (4) haces amigos más fácil.
Elijo el que tenga mayor impacto personal y pueda justificar con razones claras.
Redacto la respuesta con la estructura: beneficio + razón + ejemplo.

Respuesta orientativa: In my opinion, the best benefit is number 2, "It will get you out of your comfort zone", because it helps you grow as a person. When you face unknown places alone, you learn to rely on yourself and to solve problems at difficult times. This makes you more independent and confident for the future.

Ejercicio 3

Write which benefit from the text is the least important to you.

Comparo los cuatro beneficios según mis intereses personales.
Elijo el que menos me motiva y explico brevemente por qué.
Uso una estructura simple: I think benefit N is the least important because...

Respuesta orientativa: I think benefit number 3, "It is cheaper than traveling with a companion", is the least important to me, because money is not my main reason to travel. I prefer to focus on the personal experiences and the people I meet. For me, learning about myself and making new friends matters more than saving money.

4 Benefits of Traveling Alone

1. You will get to know yourself better.

Once you are out there on the road, on your own, you will be faced with decisions you need to make, fears you need to overcome and discover your true self and how much you are capable of. Traveling exposes you to raw experiences where you get to know the person inside you, that little kid that always wanted to travel, wander, expand and grow as a human being through exploring different places around the world.

Once you are on your own, you will discover the importance of following and listening to your own heart. You will focus much better and enjoy the experience. You will live and feel the "now". A destination far away might help you find answers about your true purpose in life and what is it you are really meant to do.

2. It will get you out of your comfort zone.

Going to unknown places and destinations will challenge you to learn how to rely on yourself at difficult times. Being away from the comfortable bubble of your home will challenge you in many different ways and test your patience. Only by putting yourself out there, will you be able to explore this beautiful planet and discover many new and exciting places.

3. It is cheaper than traveling with a companion.

When you travel on your own it is much easier to keep up with your budget because you are the one who decides where and what to eat. That also means that it is much easier to save up money for other things such as trying an adventurous sport or traveling to a distant island.

4. You will make new friends easier.

Being a solo traveller makes it much easier to interact with the local people and make new friendships. The truth is that the locals are much more interested in what someone travelling on his or her own is doing in their country and are more likely to help you out.
