Here is an
example of an essay. It answers this question: What are the issues that need to
be considered before taking a long trip?
Please explain.
I think it
is true that we all like travelling. Leaving
home for an extended period, such as a trip, however, requires taking several
precautions and making certain preparations. We can’t just go out the
door. Especially important are
transport, accommodations, money, and home supervision. I will explain why they are so important.
Probably the
most important issue is transportation and accommodations. We need to consider
the means of transportation. Do we go by
bus or plane, car or train? We also need to think about where we will stay, and
the length of our sojourn. For example,
are we leaving on a long vacation?
Should we stay in a hotel or at a camp ground? These choices have to do with the character
of our trip. We also should think about the level of comfort we deem
necessary. Some of us are fine with a
cold and Spartan tent; others prefer luxurious five-star hotels.
Another
important matter is the ever-present issue of money. We need to know how much
money we need for the trip; we need to consider the ratio of expense to length
of stay. Another important factor is the surprise factor. What if we have an accident? Do we have money to cover this? This is very important, too. Related to the
unforeseeable events, we should consider insuring ourselves for them. For example, an insurance policy can provide
us with adequate coverage.
While we are
away, we need to think about what is happening to our home. We need to make sure the bills have been
paid. What if you return to a dark and
cold house because you forgot to take care of the electricity bill before you
had left. It is a good idea to get a friend, neighbor or relative to look in on
your house. You could give them a
key. Electrical surges can be a problem. Therefore, we should unplug sensitive
equipment, such as television sets while we are away.
Therefore,
if we take all these things into consideration, we should be able to enjoy our
trip. Wherever we are, we can enjoy the
parties, sun or museums without having to think about money, schedules or
accidents at home.
