Exam task: competition entry ‘Travelling = my dream’ Have you ever dreamt of living in the wild jungle or on the South Pole for a while? I must admit that it is my secret ambition to travel around the world. People consider this idea as a crazy one but for me becoming a traveller may turn out to be a resounding success in my life. What is necessary to take up this profession? First of all, you should be open-minded about other cultures in which you may find yourself during the journeys. I live in a rather multinational community and I have had an opportunity to meet many people from other countries. They have always aroused my interest, so I have talked a lot with them, showing tolerance towards unfamiliar customs at the same time. Then of course to improve your chances of becoming a traveller you need to learn different languages. It would enable you to communicate properly with the foreigners, especially when you would encounter any difficulties on the trip. I learn four languages: English, German, Italian and Russian, so I can talk with people in many countries. Last but not least, successful travellers possess innate urge to learn about the world around them. For me this is the most important quality and I am sure that my passion for exploring new places shows that I have this feature. I do love visiting spots which I have never seen before. To sum up, I think I have the ingredients to be a professional traveller. I am convinced that the help of an expert on ‘Masterclass’ would enable me to fulfil my secret ambition.
