My name is Helen.I come from New York,the USA.Three weeks after my twenty-fourth birthday,I started to work at a children's hospital in California.

When I went to work on the first day,I was happy but a little nervous(紧张的).I said to myself,“Will the children like me?Can I do the job well?” I didn't know what I should say when I saw the children for the first time.I walked into one of the patients'(病人的) rooms.There were three little boys in the room.They smiled(微笑) at me and said hello to me.Then I felt a little relaxed and said hello to them,too.

During the next two hours,I talked to them and played games with them happily.I found it was not so hard to get on with the children.That day,I talked with a boy called Bruce for a long time.He got a serious illness.I asked him,“Are you happy here?” He answered,“Yes,but I wished I wasn't ill.” He told me that he liked his school and wished to go to school again.I said I would try my best to help him.Luckily,Bruce got well half a year later.Now Bruce is healthy and he goes back to his school.

Now I'm happy to stay with the children and see their happy faces.I really love my job because I can make the children's life better.

To see the world is one thing, to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend,a family member, a pal(伙伴)you've met online, or a business friend.

Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn't you feel lonely? Having a travel partner canhelp you get rid of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion(同伴)who is very familiar with the place you're traveling to. You don't have to ask any information from the locals,and you can increase the time you spend in the country.

You can have someone to share the costs with One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can't simply think about the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also thnk about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can't simply go back without bringing any souvenirs to your friends and family. You must think about all these. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the costs with.

You can have someone to watch out for you When you're in a foreign land, you'll never be really safe. You don't know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case(万一)you get lost. So why don't you find a travel companion now?
