Эссе на тему: My last journey

Essay 1. My last journey.

Now I want to tell you about one of my last journeys, to be exact it was a trip to Barcelona. The aim of my travel was to broaden the mind and see the places I had been dreaming of for so long so I started planning my journey in advance. I didn’t want to buy a package tour since I’m rather a discerning traveler.

The first thing I did was to book a hotel, to be exact it was a hostel. Since I did it three months before my staying there, it cost me much less than it could have been. I wouldn’t’ say that I’m a seasoned traveler, but saving money and arranging the while thing by yourself is an exhilarating experience. Having made a reservation, I bought tickets for a flight which boosted my spirits. I didn’t face any challenges doing it alone, to be honest.

As I told you before I chose a plane. It definitely has only advantages because the whole flight took me less than four hours. The jetlag was easy as it was only one hour difference. I can’t even imagine myself using a train as some people do. No doubt, there are some drawbacks at the airport such as going through your luggage or customs, but they don’t make you feel wiped out.  

Frankly speaking, I had been craving to see some places in Barcelona. The ones that are really worthy of interest are Sagrada Familia (I guess, it’s one of the most famous sights and there are so many Gaudi lovers), Barceloneta (that’s the name of 4,5 miles of beaches; if you don’t know Barcelona is washed by the Mediterranean Sea) and La Rambla (that’s like Arbat but in Spain). Is spent there only four days and that’s the only disadvantage of my journey!

Essay 2. My best friend.

Friendship is an integral part of everybody’s life. No doubt, we have our workmates, husbands, wives, parents, but no one would argue that we can deal without close friends. Each type of relationships is important and we wouldn’t feel complete without them. In this essay I will tell you about one of my closest friends.

So, my best friend is Diana. She’s the same age as me and we have known each other since we were twelve. I would say that we get on really well but sometimes we don’t see eye to eye. However, our small arguments never lead us to splitting up. We are all humans and it’s impossible to stay calm or be positive all the time. Therefore, it comes so that you reveal your nervousness to your opponent.

What for do I appreciate my friend? I can call on for help whenever I need and I know that she’s a sympathetic listener. Diana will definitely offer a helpful advice as she’s so wise. Frankly speaking, I totally trust her and she knows everything about my quarrels with my boyfriend. However, I want to emphasize her confidentiality and trust. Never in my life had I such a great shoulder to cry. She’s loyal, considerate and faithful.

From the mentioned above, one would think that the only thing we do with Diana is speaking about me relationships. As you understand, that’s not the real thing. We just enjoy ourselves and spend really much time together. As we have the same interests, we sometimes go to the concerts or exhibitions or just to the cinema. What’s more, we like to travel together and I can say that she’s extremely easy-going.

To conclude, I would say that I’m a really lucky person to have such a great friend. I’m totally sure in Diana and I know that she’ll never let me down.
