 Imagine you're planning a two-week stay on a tropical desert island. There is fresh water and plenty of fruit to eat
and there are trees for shade, but nothing more.  Talk about what you'd need to take with you and explain. Use

Introduction

A two-week visit to a tropical island would be a wonderful challenge for me. When I was little, I always dreamed about
various uninhabited islands, where I would have to survive without enough food, internet, or certain tools. And now I have
an opportunity to think about a two-week stay on a tropical desert island where I will find fresh water, plenty of fruit to
eat, and trees for shade. So, what could I take on this kind of island?

Firstly, on the island, I would need a shelter where I could sleep. I believe that on the Island I could encounter various
poisonous animals like snakes or spiders, also, there could be some rainy or cold days and a shelter could be a really good
place to spend them in. That’s why I would take a one-seater tent which does not take up much space. Along that I would
probably grab a sleeping bag, because sleep is one of the most important things for well-being. Of course, there is also the
possibility to have a good rest without a sleeping bag, but I think, that good sleep requires comfort and coziness.

Secondly, knowing the temperature and heat in the tropical desert islands, I would need to take the most necessary
summer tools like sun cream for sunburns, a swimsuit for swimming, and a hat for sunstroke. Also, I would need some
activity on the island, so, I think that without swimming and without tanning it would be great if I could fish there, that’s
why I would take a fishing rod which would help me with a healthier, fuller eating routine.

However, I would consider taking some tools such as an axe, a saw, flint and hammer. It would help me to build a steadier
shelter, or maybe even a fence around a campsite where I could have a place to cook my fish or maybe even some fruits. It
would be good to have tools for various things, because tools is one of the most important things in such a trip.

And how can I be without a smartphone? It is obvious that I will take it with me. Although there is no internet, I would still
probably take my phone. Because we are living in the technological era where smartphones have almost all-important
tools and information, such as using bank, maps, compass and so on. Figuratively, the phone is already as attached to my
hands at it could be, because it is always next to me and not a single day passes that I do not use it. So, I would need my
smartphone with me too, even though there would not be an internet connection.

And the last thing that I would need is a medical tool. There’s no doubt that I may get sick there sometime because I
probably will not get enough vitamins from fruits and fish. So I would need to take the most important medicines and
vitamins like paracetamol, vitamin c, b, and so on.

All in all, I think everything is considered, and now I can start to prepare for this trip to the island. I think it would be such
an unforgettable experience for me, not just physical, but also a mental one because it would challenge me as a human
being in every possible way. I think we as a society should challenge ourselves more, and push our limits all the time to live
the most wonderful and fulfilling life.
