The following questions will help you to organize your talk: 1) Are you afraid of going abroad alone? 2) Could you live in another country for the rest of your life? 3) What was the most interesting person you met on one of your travels? 4) What was your best trip?

I enjoy travelling because it gives me a chance to discover new places, meet different people and learn about other cultures.

I am a little afraid of going abroad alone, especially if I do not speak the local language. I may worry about getting lost, missing a flight or having a problem with my documents. However, travelling alone can also make a person more independent and confident. I think I could go abroad alone if I planned everything carefully and stayed in a safe place.

I could probably live in another country for several years, but I am not sure that I could stay there for the rest of my life. I would miss my family, friends, traditions and native language. At the same time, living abroad could be a great opportunity to build a career, improve my language skills and experience a different lifestyle. My decision would depend on the country, my job and whether my family could live near me.

The most interesting person I met during one of my travels was an elderly man who had visited more than forty countries. We met on a train, and he told me many fascinating stories about his adventures. He explained that travelling had taught him to respect other cultures and not to judge people too quickly. His stories inspired me to travel more and be open to new experiences.

My best trip was a summer holiday by the sea with my family. The weather was warm and sunny, the hotel was comfortable, and the beach was beautiful. We swam every day, tried local food and visited several historical places. The trip was special because we spent a lot of time together and forgot about our everyday problems.

My worst trip was when I went to another city during bad weather. Our train was delayed for several hours, and when we finally arrived, it was raining heavily. The hotel room was cold and noisy, and I also lost my wallet for a few hours. Fortunately, someone found it and returned it to me. Although the trip was stressful, it taught me to check the weather forecast, keep my valuables safe and always have a backup plan.
