内容正文:
Ann Jones is one of the most interesting people I have met.She is only twentyfive,but she has travelled to over fifty different countries.Five years ago,she was a typist(打字员) in Birmingham,but she decided to give up her job and see the world.Since then,her life has changed completely.
The first time she went abroad was seven years ago,when she was just 18.She took a boat to France and then hitchhiked(搭便车) around Europe for five weeks.She has visited Europe many times since that first trip,of course,but this holiday was the one which made her start travelling.She never forgets the excitement of those five weeks—although it was not all enjoyable.When she was on a train,somebody stole her purse.So she lost all her money and had to work in a restaurant for a fortnight.She made some good friends
there,however,and has returned several times since then.
How did she find money for her travels?After her first trip abroad,she went home and worked for two years,saving all the time.Now she travels around,finding work when her money was low.She made a lot of friends,she says,and has learned quite a few languages.Although she has had occasional(偶尔的) difficulties and has often been sick,she has never thought about giving up her travels.“My first time abroad changed my life,”she says,“and I have wanted to travel ever since.”
