Four Lessons I Learned From TravelingTravelin...

Four Lessons I Learned From Traveling

Traveling is a dream! Foreign, faraway countries have fascinated me for traveling. It has not only enriched my life in many ways but it refreshes me. 1.

Independence

In your safe environment where there's always something or someone to fall back on, feeling independent is easy. Traveling puts that whole view of how independent you really are in question. What do you do when caught in an airport in the middle of the night？How well do you cope in situation where your credit card suddenly refuses you？2.

Be social

Social skills are something you learn over the years regardless of where you are in the world. Traveling, however, takes being social to the next level！3. Truth is also that while you're traveling, you often need help or advice from others meaning that you need to know how to talk to people!

4.

We think we're all super unique. Truth is that after seeing so many different countries and meeting so many people from all over the world, I've come to one conclusion that we're all mostly the same when it comes to the things that matter.

Enjoy life

Before and during our two months of travel in the Central America, we worried about so many things. Did we have all the visa？5. The truth is everything turned out fine. Always remember that worrying about things going wrong isn't going to decrease the chances of it actually happening. Just ENJOY!

A.Your meeting so many different people makes social skills even more important.

B.More importantly, it has taught me many lessons.

C.Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves.

D.Will we find the right flights at the right time?

E.The way you react says a lot about how independent you are.

F.We are all the same

G.Why do more and more people prefer to travel quite often nowadays?

The word dream is probably heard most frequently from people in show business, where everyone dreams of standing under the spotlight and being somebody. But the truth is that most end up being nobodies. Hong Kong director Derek Yee’s latest film“ I Am Somebody” shows respect for these unknown extras(群众演员)in the film industry.

In the film, Wan Guopeng, son of a woodcutter, comes a long way from the Northeast with only 1,000 yuan to the dream factory of the East to become an actor. In real life, when the young man was chosen by the director to play the leading role, he had only 20 yuan left but still hadn’t considered giving up.

Famous Hong Kong actor Tony Leung remembered that 30 years ago, he was a salesman but knew that it was not the kind of life he wanted to live. “Wan is exactly like me back then…Only when I was in an acting training course did I realize that what I wanted to be was an actor, not a star winning the best actor awards.”

Yee chose real nobodies to play themselves in the movie. Their strength was their deep understanding of the feelings of the characters they played. But the disadvantage was also obvious: They lacked acting skills. When emotional performances were needed, their expressions and moves seemed unnatural.

The entertainment industry might be the field with the most broken hearts and most efforts gone in vain. Here luck, opportunity and physical appearance are probably much more important than hard work.

In the film, Qin Peijun, a survivor from a coal mine collapse(煤矿坍塌), goes all out to take hold of every possibility to appear in the lens of the camera, even if only as an extra. However, it is obviously much harder for him to realize the dream of becoming a professional actor than for Wang Zhao, who is a lazy bone with a pretty face.

Some critical comments are directed at the sudden inversion(反转) in the last part of the film. The two leading actors’ happy endings seem to disagree with the film’s realistic style. But anyway, this movie is not a documentary but a way to reinforce(硬化) that every brave heart deserves to have their dreams realized.

1.Which of the following can best describe Wan Guopeng?

A. Determined.　　 B. Careful.

C. Intelligent.　　 D. Easy-going.

2.Derek Yee chose real nobodies to play in the film because____.

A. he respected these people

B. they knew well about the characters

C. he needed emotional performances

D. they asked for less money

3.What does the underlined phrase “in vain” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Wrongly.　 　　　　 B. Secretly.

C. Without success.　 D. Without consideration.

4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. It’s OK to be nobody.

B. It’s really hard to become a successful actor.

C. Live the dreams.

D. Be a person of dreams.
