Hey there, and welcome back to English on the Go,
2
your go-to podcast for learning English in a fun and practical way.
3
Today's episode is all about something many young people dream of, traveling.
4
We're diving into the question,
5
is traveling good for young people?
6
Whether it's for exploring new places,
7
learning about different cultures, or even just taking a break from everyday life,
8
travel seems to offer a lot.
9
But is it always the best choice?
10
In today's discussion, we'll explore the benefits and challenges young people face when traveling.
11
Stick around, because there's plenty to unpack and learn from.
12
Alright, so let's dig a little deeper into today's topic,
13
traveling as a young person.
14
We all know that traveling offers a chance to see the world,
15
meet new people, and gain experiences that you just can't find in the classroom or at home.
16
But for young people, it can mean even more.
17
It can help with personal growth,
18
learning independence, and building new perspectives.
19
However, it's not all smooth sailing.
20
There's the cost, safety concerns,
21
and the question of whether it's better to focus on studies or work first.
22
In today's conversation, we'll hear from two friends who have very different views on whether traveling is beneficial for young people.
23
Before we start, ask yourself,
24
do you think travel is essential for your development,
25
or is it something that can wait?
26
Before we jump into the conversation,
27
I'd like you to take a moment to think about these questions.
28
Remember, there are no right or wrong answers.
29
It's all about your opinion and experiences First,
30
have you ever traveled to a new place?
31
If so, how did it change you?
32
Second, do you think traveling at a young age can really help shape a person's future
33
or is it just a fun experience?
34
Take a moment to reflect on these ideas
35
As you listen to the conversation think about how the views
36
of our characters align with your own thoughts on the topic Alright,
37
in today's conversation, we have two friends,
38
Lisa and Mark, talking about whether traveling is beneficial for young people.
39
Lisa believes that travel is an essential part of growing up,
40
while Mark thinks there are other priorities to focus on.
41
Let's listen to what they have to say.
42
I just got back from my trip to Italy,
43
and let me tell you,
44
Mark, it was an eye-opener.
45
I feel like I've grown so much just from experiencing a new culture.
46
It really broadened my horizons.
47
I'm glad you had a good time,
48
Lisa, but do you really think traveling is that big of a deal?
49
I mean, sure, you get to see new places,
50
but is it really necessary, especially when you're young?
51
Shouldn't we focus more on studying or building a career first?
52
I get your point.
53
But traveling doesn't mean you're not being productive.
54
It's not just about ticking places off a list.
55
When you travel, you're stepping out of your comfort zone.
56
You learn how to deal with different situations,
57
meet people from all walks of life,
58
and it forces you to become more independent.
59
It's like gaining life skills you can't pick up from a textbook.
60
Plus, experiencing different cultures can really open your mind in ways you wouldn't expect.
61
It's not just about the places.
62
It's about the people, the customs,
63
even the way of thinking.
64
You come back with a new perspective.
65
I guess there's some truth to that, but it's expensive.
66
Most young people can't afford to travel without breaking the bank.
67
And let's face it, not everyone has the luxury of dropping everything and taking off.
68
Don't you think it's more practical to save money,
69
work hard, and build a stable life first?
70
True, travel does cost money,
71
but it doesn't always have to be about expensive trips.
72
There are ways to travel on a budget,
73
like staying in hostels, backpacking,
74
or even working part-time while traveling.
75
Have you ever heard of programs like Workaway or Volunteering Abroad?
76
You can actually work while you explore new places,
77
which helps keep the costs down.
78
And honestly, I think of it as an investment in myself.
79
The experiences I've gained are priceless,
80
whether it's learning a new language,
81
making connections, or just getting out of my bubble.
82
It's like the return on investment shows up in ways you can't predict.
83
Yeah, but what if something goes wrong while you're traveling?
84
Like, traveling alone and you run into a difficult situation.
85
I mean, doesn't that stress you out?
86
There's so much uncertainty, and what if you end up stuck in a foreign country?
87
That's actually part of the adventure.
88
Dealing with the unexpected is how you grow.
89
Sure, things don't always go as planned,
90
but that's where the real learning happens.
91
You learn how to problem-solve on the go,
92
and honestly, those moments are often the most memorable.
93
For example, I got lost in Rome one night.
94
My phone died, I didn't speak much Italian,
95
and at first I panicked.
96
But then I figured it out,
97
asked for directions, and ended up having the best conversation with a local who walked me back to my hotel.
98
That's the kind of experience that teaches you resilience.
99
Every problem you solve makes you stronger and more adaptable.
100
I think those challenges are what make traveling so valuable.
101
I see where you're coming from,
102
but I still think it's not for everyone.
103
Some people would rather focus on building their future first
104
and traveling later when they're more financially secure or when they've settled down.
105
Don't you think there's some value in waiting until the right moment?
106
I hear you, Mark, but the thing is, life is unpredictable.
107
If we always wait for the perfect time, it might never come.
108
And while there's nothing wrong with focusing on building your career,
109
traveling while you're young gives you a different perspective on the world.
110
It can shape your future in ways you didn't expect.
111
I mean, you can find inspiration for your career or business ideas from the places you visit,
112
or even meet people who could help you in the future.
113
You don't have to put your life on hold to travel,
114
and it's about balance, really.
115
You can build your career and travel at the same time,
116
even if it's just small trips in between jobs or study breaks.
117
Fair point.
118
I guess it does come down to personal preference.
119
It's just hard to see myself dropping everything to go travel right now.
120
Maybe I'll take the plunge and try it out one day.
121
Who knows?
122
You should.
123
Once you start, you might not want to stop.
124
Trust me, it's a game changer.
125
And it doesn't have to be a grand trip around the world.
126
Even exploring nearby countries or just visiting a new city can give you that sense of adventure.
127
You never know how it'll impact you until you experience it.
128
Yeah, maybe a short trip would be a good way to start.
129
I'll think about it.
130
It sounds like it really changed your perspective.
131
It did.
132
And you'll be surprised at how much you learn about yourself along the way.
133
You discover strengths you didn't know you had,
134
and you get a clearer idea of what you want in life.
135
Plus, the memories you make are worth every penny.
136
Alright, you've convinced me to at least consider it.
137
Maybe next year I'll start planning something.
138
Just a short trip, like you said.
139
I could use a break from the daily grind anyway.
140
That's the spirit, start small, and who knows.
141
You might catch the travel bug and never look back.
142
Just remember to enjoy the journey and keep an open mind.
143
The world has so much to offer.
144
In today's conversation, Lisa and Mark use some interesting vocabulary,
145
phrasal verbs, idioms, and life-related phrases that are useful for talking about travel and life experiences.
146
Let's dive into a few of them.
147
First off, Lisa says her trip to Italy was an eye-opener.
148
Now, when we call something an eye-opener,
149
it means it gave us a new perspective or taught us something surprising.
150
Lisa found the experience very insightful.
151
For example, visiting different countries is always an eye-opener.
152
It makes you realize how diverse the world is.
153
Then, Lisa mentions that traveling broadened her horizons.
154
This idiom means it expanded her knowledge or understanding.
155
Traveling allows you to see things you wouldn't experience otherwise,
156
so it's a great way to broaden your horizons.
157
For instance, reading books is good,
158
but traveling really broadens your horizons.
159
Now, Mark brings up the issue of breaking the bank.
160
This idiom means spending a lot of money,
161
more than you can afford.
162
He's worried about the cost of traveling,
163
and he doesn't want to break the bank.
164
If you're not careful, dining out all the time can really break the bank.
165
Later in the conversation, Lisa talks about stepping out of your comfort zone.
166
This is a common phrase we use when talking about doing something that feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar but helps you grow.
167
Lisa feels that traveling forces her to step out of her comfort zone.
168
Starting a new job can push you out of your comfort zone,
169
but it's often worth it.
170
Finally, Lisa wraps it up by saying travel is a game changer.
171
A game changer is something that completely changes the way you think or approach something.
172
Learning English was a real game changer for my career.
173
I just got back from my trip to Italy.
174
And let me tell you,
175
Mark, it was an eye-opener.
176
I feel like I've grown so much just from experiencing a new culture.
177
It really broadened my horizons.
178
I'm glad you had a good time,
179
Lisa, but do you really think traveling is that big of a deal?
180

181

182

198
Don't you think it's more practical to save money,
199
work hard, and build a stable life first?
200
True, travel does cost money,
201
but it doesn't always have to be about expensive trips.
