Travelling,in my opinion,does more good than harm.Most importantly,it broadens(使扩大)our mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明),cultures,customs and ideas.
Through history,most people travelled because of necessity(必要性)-not for pleasure.People travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for fun of it.In ancient times,for example,rich Romans travelled all the ways to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games,and festivals.Of course,some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心).They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线).Also business travel has been going on for centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So,travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much from it.

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)?Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a fourhour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride,there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation-in another language.It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a twoday trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home,although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life,different countries,and many languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures.If you get hungry,you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.
It sure beats driving the car,which has to stop for food and restrooms.And it is better than taking the bus.
