With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter，more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience，I prefer to travel on my own.
I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own，I’m my own boss；and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary，in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.
True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel individually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.
隨著生活的標準、工作時間的縮短，越來越多的人能夠對旅行感興趣。而許多人覺得方便想參加旅行團，我喜歡自己去旅行。
我喜歡自已旅行，可不僅因為它的價格要便宜得多，且它給了很大程度上的獨立和自由。我獨自去旅遊，我是自己的老闆；可以決定什麼時候出發上路，在那裡逗留更長一點的時間，可以跳過了一個景點節省精力和時間。我可以調整我的計畫。相反，在旅遊團的話你可能被剝奪自由。在口哨的聲音下，你要從酣睡中跳起來，眯著眼睛，趕緊去聚集的地方。在想逗留的地方，你必須讓自己遠離你你感興趣的場景，必須他嚴格按照導遊的時間表，無論天氣或你的健康狀況。
當然，如果你單獨旅行，你可能會遇到麻煩，例如，住宿過夜，找地方吃飯。但沒有什麼可以和一個人度假旅行相比的啦，為了逃避日常生活的約束，自由比較重要。
