1. In my country, people never leave tips. So when I first went abroad, I kept forgetting to tip servers. I felt really embarrassed.

2. The first time I traveled abroad, I felt really depressed. I was alone, I didn’t speak the language, and I didn’t make any friends. 

3. I just spent a year in France learning to speak French. It was a satisfying experience, and I was fascinated by the culture.

4. At first I really didn’t like shopping in the open-air markets. I felt uncomfortable because so many people were trying to sell me something at the same time.

5. When I arrived in Lisbon, I was nervous because I couldn’t speak any Portuguese. As I began to learn the language, though, I became more confident about living there.

6. Before I went to Alaska last winter, I was very worried about the cold. But it wasn’t a problem because most buildings there are well heated.

7. When I was traveling in Southeast Asia, I couldn’t believe how many different kinds of fruit there were. I was curious to try all of them, so I ate a lot of fruit! 

8. It was our first trip to Latin America, so we were uncertain about what to expect. We loved it and hope to return again soon.
