With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter，more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience，I prefer to traveln my own. I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own，I’m my own boss；and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary，in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.
    True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

我喜欢旅游，可以自己不仅是因为它的价格要便宜得多，因为它给了很大程度的独立和自由。我独自去旅游，我是自己的老板；可以决定什么时候出发上路，在那里逗留久一点，这风景点可不去，节约能源和时间的另一个点。我可以调整我的计划。相反，在包价旅游你剥夺尽可能自由的一个军事基地。在口哨的声音，你要跳起来从酣睡中，沉重的眼皮，赶紧去收集你的地方收集和统计上的教练。在小国旗飘扬的景象，你必须立即把自己远离你希奇的场景和跟踪指导的唯一的兴趣是根据他走过所有风景点严格的时间表，无论天气或你的健康状况。
真的，你可能会遇到的不便，如果你单独旅行，例如，得到住宿过夜，找地方吃饭。但没有什么东西可以是一个人度假旅行主要是为了摆脱他的日常生活的约束自由比较重要。
