ENGLISH ESSAY CLASS 6
Travelling.
From the beginning man has
travelled from place to place primarily in
search of food and shelter. He braved dangers
and even death. But he was always impatient and
moved on. Even when there was no transport
Huensang, Fahien, Marco Polo and others toured
widely all over the world.
We are drawn to travelling for several reasons:
for sight seeing, for bird watching, wildlife
watching, for business, for educational tours,
to visit our relatives or friends, and some of
us go simply to gain knowledge about the world
outside or just to be part of Mother Nature.
Travelling is a great teacher in real time.
Whatever we study in history and geography is
reaffirmed by travelling. We visit historical
places and re-live history which then beomes a
reality. The artist in us admires the art of
various ages and the nature lover in us
cherishes the picturesque beauty of mother
earth.
Travelling widens our scope of learning and
outlook to life. It increases our sense of
awareness, perception, alertness, preparedness
and most importantly, practically teaches us to
be street-smart. As we travel across the country
we meet people from different walks of life and
from all parts of the country and world at
large. We are enriched by sharing our culture
and knowledge. I think the most important thing
we learn is to adapt and adjust. A true
traveller develops a deep sense of
fellow-feeling. We learn to overcome hardships.
Sometimes we also become the joy or pride of
others who do not ever like to step out of the
house. Travelling gives us strength and makes us
resourceful and adventurous.
I love to go places with my parents. Every
school vacation we visit a new place. I enjoy
these trips.
