范文：
A Package Tour or a Self-guided Tour?
①Whenever people go traveling, they will face a difficult problem of choosing between going on a package tour and going on a self-guided tour. ②People preferring to go on a package tour hold the opinion that you dont have to worry about the schedule, transportation and accommodation, which makes it possible for the tourists to fully keep their minds on enjoying the beautiful scenery and becoming familiar with the local customs. ③And whats more, it is much safer and money-saving than self-guided tour. ④ On the contrary, people who are in favor of a self guided tour argue that they will feel quite free in arranging the schedule of the tour and may stay in their fancy place (destination) as long as they like to enjoy the beautiful scenery, to go shopping, or to enjoy snacks of different tastes, completely without considering the limitation of time. ⑤In addition, self-guided tour may test and improve peoples, especially the youngsters determination, perseverance, confidence and abilities to deal with difficulties.
⑥Therefore, it all depends on what kind of tour one may choose. ⑦If I have enough time and money, I will choose self-guided tour for freedom and flexibility; however, if time is limited and I want to save energy, perhaps I will consider package tour.
