　　In this highly interconnected world, it is quite common for people to travel overseas, and this is partly due to the availability of efficient transportation vehicles such as airplanes and high-speed trains. Faced with the choice between traveling abroad at a younger age and traveling overseas an older age, I prefer to travel abroad when I am younger.

　　First, traveling to foreign countries when I am younger helps to improve my foreign language skills. An overseas trip not only creates a pressing need for people to improve foreign language skills prior to the trip but also creates plenty of opportunities for them to hone language skills by using the foreign language while visiting a different country. For example, a few years ago when I was making the plan of traveling to the UK, I realized that I needed to significantly improve my English skills to reduce the risk of potential language-induced misunderstandings, so I spent more time every day on English learning. Furthermore, improvements in my English (particularly in listening and speaking) also occurred when I was using the English language to communicate with local people in everyday situations. Although this linguistic benefit that comes with overseas trips applies to virtually all people regardless of age, the benefit is probably greater for younger people who need better language skills for utilitarian purposes (e.g. landing a job at a multinational corporation) than older people.

　　Second, traveling to different countries at a younger age may generate career advancement opportunities that we can take advantage of later in life. For example, in my country many people have become highly successful business owners because their earlier overseas experiences afforded them the opportunity to find a niche in the market that they filled later. My friend Vivian is particularly good case in point. She visited a number of countries in her twenties on vacation trips, and during her stay in those countries, she realized, incidentally, that a large number of local people were interested in Chinese–style jewelry and that she could profit from promoting jewelry products with traditional Chinese cultural flavor to cater for the customers’ needs. After returning to China, she quit her stable job at a large state-owned enterprise and set up her own jewelry trade company, which is now thriving. Had she chosen to travel abroad at a later time, she might not have retained the compelling drive and stamina needed for starting her own business.

　　In summary, while there are certainly benefits that people can gain from traveling overseas when they are older, it seems to be me that traveling abroad at a younger age is more advisable. This is because by doing so, I can gain enormous benefits such as boosting foreign language proficiency and improving career prospects.
