Speaking Part 2 in Uzbekistan — 02.06.2021

Describe a future plan which is not related to work or study

You should say:

What it is
Why you have this plan
What you will happen need to do in order to make the plan
How you think you will feel after you achieve this

You may or may not notice, but we have run across at least one or two articles illustrating how people should live their life to the fullest every single day. Reading them has struck me hard, that I haven’t tried doing something risky or adventurous enough in my life, which will somehow leave a regretful feeling to me when years come by. And that’s why I have decided my original plan to settle down first, to make time for traveling for at least 3 months within the next 2 years.

It may sound far-fetched to give up your routine lifestyle and stable income to commit for long-term retreat which holds no guarantee to be beneficial for your next job, however, life is not always about the results but the experience. It will take serious time and effort to carefully prepare for the journey unless you want to let the grass grow under your feet. Fortunately, I am that type of person; hence, I have already sketched a plan. The first thing crossing my mind when thinking about travelling is money, which is also the most crucial tool in any situation. Saving up to the amount that can cover at least all my basic needs is the goal. Besides, it’s nearly impossible to truly discover local cultures without understanding them and languages can break any boundary. Therefore, based on the list of countries I would love to visit, I will try to learn a little about their languages as well as look into their cultures and customs to be able to communicate more efficiently and avoid taboos that visitors usually make. Emerging yourself in an entirely different nature and people will definitely change how you perceive the world and cultivate your appreciation with everything offered.
