I noticed that the American students put words associated more with physical characteristics of traveling, like gas, expensive, plane, etc. Where the Chinese students put more vocabulary related to feelings about traveling, like relaxation, happiness, and freedom. I have a feeling this might be because the Chinese students have more of an appreciation for how traveling can make you feel than we do as Americans; we might take traveling for granted sometimes.

How often do you travel? How long do you usually travel for? Where do you usually travel?

I also saw that a lot of the Chinese students commented about places to travel and how it makes them feel, while the American students commented on things like transportation and money.

Why do you travel? What do you like about traveling?

Interstate travel is quite popular in America, would you say inter-province travel is as common in China?

在中国省间旅游是很流行的，各省都有各自的特色，旅游价值较丰富，并且费用划算。你去旅游是喜欢独自行动还是团体一起？

我觉得旅游能带给人愉悦的感受，让人尝试到新东西，磨砺自己，结交新朋友。

在中国出行方式有很多，例如：火车、汽车…为什么你们想到的都是飞机呢？

旅游可以观赏到大千世界的各种美景，可以到不同的地方了解不同建筑的故事，可以将各种不同的美景尽收眼底，同时也可以放松心情

随着生活水平的提高和交通的改善，越来越多的人热衷旅行。旅行不仅可以开拓人们的视野，也可以教我们成长，学习处世之道。至于跨省旅行我觉得是很流行的，交通越来越便利，城市之间的时间距离越来越短，跨省旅游不再麻烦了。

在我看来，旅行是一件很有意思的事情，放松是主要的。一些中国人在国内旅游喜欢去一些有名的景点，有一些却喜欢去安静舒适的地方，大概也是各有所好。而大学生们则向往那些神圣的地方，喜欢沿途的风景，更喜欢的是走在路上的那种轻松感。

旅行无非就是换一种生活方式。走不同的路，遇不同的人，认识另一个自己，释放自己的灵魂。

于我而言，旅游的乐趣不仅仅是欣赏沿途的风景，更是去遇见更美的自己。我期待在旅途中遇到不同的人，通过交谈而丰富自己的见识。走进不同的酒店，从小众到大众，从单人间到多人混住，从辗转反侧到倒头就睡，每一次的改变都是一种成长。游历不同的风景，从大名远播的名胜古迹到鲜为人知的小家风情，每一杯都是醉人的酒。从毫无章法的随意出手到后来的精打细算只为有更大的收获。行走的每一步都是丰富自己的阅历，只为遇见更美的自己。

旅行影响一个人的内心世界，我觉得如果想要真正的放松锻炼自己，就应该有一场一个人的旅行。

世界很大，我想去看看。我觉得旅游是放松身心的，可以看到各种形形色色。不管是一个人还是和朋友家人，看到不同的地方会有不同的感觉，老了也是一种难得的回忆。你们去到不同的地方会有不同的感觉吗？你们去过哪些地方旅游？

I love your points of view on traveling! To answer 胡柱姚’s question, I like traveling in a group rather than by myself. To answer 201 601 110 448’s question, I think we most often think of airplane because that is a very common way for us to travel. It is much easier to travel to vacation destinations by plane in America. It is less common for us to take trains and taxis for things like vacations. Finally, to answer r201 601 110 418’s question, personally, I have not traveled outside of the United States, but states that I have been to include: California, Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts and other New England states.

Thank you for your responses! To 陈书婷, I completely agree. I think part of the reason people travel to new places is to experience new things, and get a better perspective of the world. To r201 601 110 418, I think it’s true that different places can give you different feelings. To answer your question, I have been to many places in France, included Biarritz and Paris, Canada, and most New England states within the U. S.
