Learn English with this hitchhiking English lesson

Hitchiking or tumb a ride is something unussual here in Indonesia.. Feeling coutious is more important than just got a free ride.. 

I never hitchhiked and i don’t want to. I don’t trust people easily. So thumbing a ride is so difficult for me.

It’s thrilling to me. I’ve done it twice. Once for a longer journey throughout varies countries in Europe. The EU is a great place for thumbing. Once you overcome the hesistance at the beginning, you have a chance to get to know quite some enthralling people. It’s also good practice to test you patience.

as various media developed, more and more cruel, horrible and incredible evils were unveiled , even some of those have been beyond the limits of normal people’s thougt. i become increasingly unsecure about to the world.

 so i will never hitchhike. i know, most of the people are good at heart. even it is true. but if one met one of those of the minority, it would possibly change all life of his or her. even, there were no future.

no.  i have never hitchhiked. i think it is a scary way to travel just like Marni thought.

but when i was young, i had the same ideals as Lily’s. i thought all of people i met were good at heart, even the bad persons would become kindhearted when met me. i don’t know how had i thought at that time.

never made any bad experiences. when you live in small village with a really bad bus connection and without a drivers license you prefer to hitchhike than to walk a long distance.

i never did that..if we talk about hitchhiking it all depends upon the situation. lets suppose if you dont have any other alternative except hitchhiking you can go ahead, at the same time you have to be very careful and take important steps before getting into any stranger’s car. sometimes hitchhiking is good as you get to know about other people in different cities.

Maybe I was deeply impressed by psychopaths in many American dramas, so I won’t choose hitchiking.

it is good to go to a new place and discover new land by yourself but sometimes you have to be care for any bad surprises will face it.

I agree with some of the friends who said that it’s dangerous, you don’t know the people you travel with, especially for women and girls It’s not safe at all.so I prefer to go by bus and taxi.

I traveling whit hitchiking a lot(when I was student and go to another city for univercity) and it’s so interesting and you can find a new friends whit this way

i didn’t try it before but aside from it is safe or not , i cant ask a driver to pick me with him and say ” please , would u … “

I think that it’s very intresting kind of getting around. But safer for boys, I think.    But another thing is that I myself don’t want to try it even one time because I think that it doesn’t have a good effection on people that have met you or first time and you ask them to be with them. They have worked alot for getting this chance of travel and spend money and I think it can be seen rudness from their side. 

I suppose that hitchhiking really is dangerous! Of course this is interesting have a new familiarity and it is dont need a money but I prefer travelling for example on a bus or car) 

I’ve taken the risk of getting in stranges’ cars a lot,when there were no taxis to take…but i also charged them,so it can’t be called hitchiking!!!

‘hitchhiking’ is one of the cheapest ways of traveling in the world but i have never been before hitchhiked  i think it’s not a scary actually  from my side it’s a really safe way to travel

I’ve never hitchhiked before. Of course, It is scary to get a ride with the stranger, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t asking the unknown person for a ride. If I am in hurry or in needed especially in the way to travel, I think i’ll do it but i’ll be more careful and wary.

yes,thats right its some how scary but i do it just one time there was no othere choice for me so i did it anxiously but that was nice the couple compeletly help me for next steps but we have to be carefull and clever.

I have hitchhiked a few times. The longest distance was about 260 miles (418 Km) from St Louis to Kansas City. I was picked up by a couple and also a truck driver in a large tractor trailer. But I still had to walk miles and I was tired when I arrived. Safety also depends on where you are hitchhiking at. Don’t hitchhike in bad areas.
