After two days in Florence, Italy, I had already met some fascinating people. When you are with a
companion it’s easy to focus on that person and forget about meeting Europeans and other travellers.
Without the comfortable crutch of a friend, you are more likely to know the joys of self-discovery and the
pleasures found in the kindness of strangers. You will be exploring yourself as well as a new country and
culture. Solo travel gives you complete freedom and independence and you can follow your own
schedule. You can decide where to go, how far to travel, how much to spend and when to *call it a day.
Of course, there are downsides of travelling alone. Accommodation typically costs more because you are
not splitting the bill and you may be more vulnerable to theft. There's nobody to watch your back. And
there's no one to watch the luggage while you go to buy train tickets. You have to carry all your gear
yourself, which can be both inconvenient and stressful. But the biggest struggle is loneliness. If you
don’t feel comfortable travelling alone, consider joining a tour. I have talked to many people who put off
their travel dreams because they don’t want to do it alone: don’t delay – just go!
1. Many people are afraid to travel alone but it can be a rewarding experience. [T, F]
2. People do not learn things about themselves when they travel. [T, F]
3. The author thinks it is better to stay home than to travel without friends. [T, F]
5. The author thinks it is better not to join a tour when you don’t feel comfortable to travel alone. [T,
F]
2. According to the author, which of the following can you enjoy when you travel solo: [A, B, C]
a) self-discovery
b) self-confidence
c) self-reliance
3. Which of the following best describes the decisions you can make when you travel solo: [A,
B, C]
6. Generally speaking, what does the author think people should do? [A, B, C]

Read the text below. Match choices (A-H) to (27-32). There are two choices you do not need to use.
The health of the family is usually not an area of focus. Parents may only become aware of the need for
growth when tension or crisis occurs. The following list outlines the major areas that will help build
family unity:
27) [A, B, C, D, E, F, G]Consider how others in the family are treated. If every step taken is criticized,
a child or spouse may feel worthless or unloved. Criticism can be very inappropriate. When the goal is to
inflict pain or to get acceptable performance, then motives are wrong. Instead, make it a point to give
positive feedback. Show others that they havQ value. Find areas where compliments and recognition
28) [A, B, C, D, E, F, G]Is the person speaking to you more important than the newspaper or
television or internet or etc...? When a family member is speaking, they want their thoughts heard and
understood. If attention is divided, it sends a message that ‘you are not important’. Respect and
significance can be shown by giving undivided attention. Let the other person finish uninterrupted and
then tell them wrhat you heard. When others are heard, it draws them to you.
29) [A, B, C, D, E, F, G] Building family unity is not automatic. Parents need to build a vision and
then provide leadership in bringing it about. Planning activities and sticking to a consistent schedule
will demonstrate value and the importance of family relationships. Having periodic family meetings is a
key aspect. These may address difficult issues, but the goal will be to get positive resolution and help
30) [A, B, C, D, E, F, G]Interpersonal relationships can be difficult and painful. Family members are
often hurt and do not think problems will be solved in an effective way. It seems easier to ignore or run
away from conflict. Since family members are in a continuous relationship with each other, emotions
can run high. Blaming others while trying to maintain self-respect and rights is a difficult balancing act.
Show respect for others involved. Speak gently without attacking, condemning, or disengaging
31) [A, B, C, D, E, F, G] In relationships between parents and children there are tendencies based on
gender, interests, and personality types that can affect how much attention a child gets. This may be
entirely unintentional. When parents are interested in the same things as the child, the parent will
gravitate in that direction. A parent may not be aware that this process is taking place. Sit down with
your spouse regularly to evaluate how much time and attention is being given to each child. Plan ways
32) [A, B, C, D, E, F, G]Every individual needs room to think, experiment independently, and to just
be alone. It is natural for parents to want to keep their children on a path to success. Children need
space to work through direction on their own. Instead task them with coming up with solutions and
direction. Then have them come back with their own thoughts. It is even ok to allow some mistakes. It is
important for family members to protect ownership, but it is also important to reinforce that sharing is
