　　Traveling with a Companion

　　Traveling can be wonderful. It introduces us to new experiences, broadens our minds and helps us relax. However, not everyone likes to travel in the same way. Some people prefer to travel alone so that they can do what they like during their trip without having to worry about anyone else. Others like to have a companion to share the experience with. I am one of the latter, because I believe that traveling with someone has many advantages.
　　When I travel with a companion, I have someone with whom to share what I experience. We can talk over the day’s events and discoveries, and this will make them more interesting. In addition, it is often comforting to have a familiar person around when we are in a strange environment. When I am traveling in a foreign country, I may be unable to speak the language or may be confused by the local customs. With a travel companion, I will always have someone to talk and share my feelings with. Finally, a travel companion can make the journey easier and safer. We can help each other to take the journey easier and safer. We can help each other to take care of our bags and get information, as well as keep each other company while waiting in long lines.
　　To sum up, I prefer to travel with a companion rather than travel alone. I believe it adds enjoyment and comfort to may trip. And when we return from our journey, my friends and I can share our wonderful memories.

参考译文：

　　结伴旅行

　　旅游是很棒的。它能带给我们新的体验，扩展我们的眼界，帮助我们放松身心。然而，并非每个人喜欢的旅游方式都一样。有些人比较喜欢独自旅行，因为可以随心所欲，不用担心别人的感受，而有些人则喜欢有个同伴一起分享经历。我属于后者，因为我认为结伴旅行有很多好处。
　　有个伴一起旅行，就有人可以分享我的经历，我们可以讨论当天的事件及见闻，如此一来会让这些经历更有趣。此外，身处陌生的环境里，有个熟人在身边较令人安心。当我在国外旅行时，我可能不会说该过语言，或者可能不了解当地的风俗习惯，有个同伴在身边，我就有人可以一起说话、一起分享我的感受。最后，结伴旅行可以让旅行更自在，而且更安全。我们可以帮对方看行李，以及获得资讯，而且在排长队时可以彼此做伴。
　　总之，我比较喜欢结伴旅行，而不喜欢独自旅行。我认为结伴旅行能够为旅程增添乐趣及舒适感，而且旅行回来后，我的朋友和我就可以共同分享美好的回忆。
