参考答案：

Last year, I went on a solo adventurearound China. I had never gone traveling without my family before, so I was abit nervous.

For two months I took trains from placeto place, met lots of interesting people and enjoyed beautiful scenery. I willnever forget the time I spent watching the sunset on a mountain in Guizhou withsome new friends I had just met the day before. I will never forget theexperience that I joined a local family and went swimming in a lake inYunnan.I will never forget how I was excited and proud of myself reaching the highestpoint of the Great Wall.

If there’s one thing I learned from the experience, it is how to enjoy my owncompany. I think many people depend too much on others for support andentertainment. Now I think that everyone should learn how to look afterthemselves and enjoy spending time alone.
