An Uneasy Night on Cerro de la Salchicha

The art of writing an essay depends not so much on delving into the subject matter as on the ability to interpret your impressions in an artistic form. Travel experience essays belong to just such a group of works, which present mainly emotions and impressions of the experience. If traveling by car or airplane has long ceased to cause excitement and interest, travel by train in the modern world can be safely classified as romantic and exciting, even if the trip lasts only a few hours. Here is a little guide if you need help with essay about the train journey, so that not only you have good memories, but also your readers caused a sea of positive emotions.

What to pay attention to when writing an essay?


Before starting to write an essay about travel, it is best to use your own experiences. If you have never traveled by train, it is recommended to ride this mode of transport at least once - it is not necessary to go far, a ride to the suburbs or a neighboring city is enough. In addition, for writing an essay about train travel, we recommend:
1. Make an emphasis on the experience. It's not enough to just talk about how you traveled by train. The essay will be much more interesting if you retell your emotions and impressions. You don't have to recount all the details of your trip - it can make the work too overwhelming and boring. Rather, talk about how you felt during the trip and what impressions you have left behind.
2. Pay attention to the form of the essay. Of course, the academic requirements for writing student papers are quite strict and do not always allow you to deviate from them. But unless you are writing a detailed guide on how to travel by train, then deviate a little from the traditional form in the form of an introduction, the main part and the conclusion. Or use the traditional form as the basis, but add a few artistic details to the text.
3. Try to use your own experience. It is best to use your own experience when writing an essay - it will increase the value of your work. If you do not have practical experience of traveling on certain modes of transport, use the experience of other travelers, although this will make your work not so sincere and truthful. There are quite a few videos and information on the web on how to travel by train that can help you immerse yourself in the atmosphere and get you in the mood for work.
4. Strike a balance between the artistic and the real. We assume that essays about train travel are artistic rather than practical, but that does not mean that you should write only about the emotions you experienced during the trip. It's important to back up your impressions with practical points, such as where your trip started, where the finish line was, what the stages of the journey were, and so on.
5. Keep your thoughts simple. Even fiction can be difficult to read because of the large number of epithets, hyperbole, and other literary devices. Essay about the train journey - it's not just a story of emotions you experienced, it's also a statement of practical experience. Therefore, try to present their thoughts in simple and clear language, but with the intended note of artistry.
We hope that our tips will help you write an interesting essay about the train journey!

  2. Now that did make me laugh! It is so like our first few forays into camping with bears in the States – trying to stay awake all night, listening to every sound…… ????

    Hi Cuz, thanks for the mention and yet another thoroughly entertaining post. Sounds like quite the adventure although, like you, I can do without the thought of large, hairy beasties snuffling and grunting in the forest around me in the dark of night. Gimme chucking-out-time in Glasgow any day!

  4. Good one Alen..
    There is a Wild Boar Park in Bowland, so I suppose theirs aren’t so ‘wild’, but they look ferocious with razor sharp tusks.
    Visiting with my grandkids we won a quiz – the prize a couple of pound of wild boar sausages. So there may be a link to your mountain’s name, I doubt it
    We will be bivying on top of La Palma in the Canary Islands soon, will check out the wild boar population

      Hi John. My mouth is watering at the thought of wild boar sausages. Just what a chap needs when he’s had a day on the hill, washed down with a bottle of red. Good luck in the Canary islands, and watch out for the wildlife.
      Cheers, Alen

    It’s a beautiful post, Alen but I’m glad I didn’t have to stay there. The knowledge of wild animals snooping around on the Sauce Mountain might easily come between the joy of outstanding scenery. But you got the pictures to enjoy with a cup of tea without your heart is in the way for drinking it.
    This device might be like shooting sparrows with cannons, but take a look ???? http://icebearalarm.com/index.html

      Hi Hanna. Now that’s a good idea. Tripwires around the tent fixed to blank shotgun cartridges. In fact, the Spanish are very good at making very loud fireworks ??? so they would work just as well, except they might start a forest fire and that would bring additional complications. Might be easier if I just took a gun and shot anything that came near the tent!
      Cheers, Alen

    Splendid post Alen, the words and pictures vividly portray your “Night on Boar Mountain” – ( with apologies to Mussorgsky) – you can never grow too old for adventure.

    Cheers,

    Alan

  10. That last photo is truly beautiful with the fronds! I have to admit to being quite happy with the views of sunsets etc from ground level though – I never thought they looked better from a hill – to me, they look better the sun coming down (or up) behind a hill.

    I’d be terrified of wild boar too. Great write up and photos there – very entertaining. You’d think ringing the cork trees right round like that would kill them – it does other trees – why are they different do you know?

      Hi Carol. I like sunsets from aeroplanes but they never seem to work when you photograph them. It’s like a sunset in space, and that blows my mind.
      Cork trees. Right, I looked into this recently, because if you strip a ring of bark from an ordinary tree it will kill it. There’s even a word for this: girding. But cork oak have two layers of bark and it’s just the outer one that’s removed. The smooth skin that’s left, which looks like bare wood, carries the moisture and nutrients up the tree. It’s a very skilled job to remove the outer bark, involving several years of training before you’re allowed to do it commercially. So if you want to have a go before you retire, you’d better start training now.
      Cheers, Alen
