FOURTEEN
2008.10.17NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People benefit more from travelling in their own country than travelling in a foreign country
When hearing the plan to travel in foreign countries, children and youth, at most of time, will keep excitedly awake up all night, which could rarely be found if the aim area is civil site. This is merely because these curious kids desire to watch different sceneries and experience different cultures, or in other words, benefits more during traveling abroad, compared to staying at their familiar motherland. Hence, I do prefer to regard travelling in a foreign country as my next destination in summer vacation.
Initially, people could appreciate more natural scenery spots visiting foreign countries. Lying on our earth, most countries are defined in some district, owing few kinds of climates and terrains, which appear in everyday life of habitants and show no charm to them. Travelling in foreign countries, however, would bring us visual surprise even on a common coconut tree we never saw before. Whether Japanese standing in extensive Sahara Desert, or Americans overlooking Amazon Jungle on plane, they will absolutely exclaim out the magic landscape and are unwilling to leave away. Therefore, travelling in a foreign country means a big enjoyment to everyone's eyes.
Secondly, a foreign country owns a different culture, which we could not only touch directly but also learn from. Travelling abroad, we could feel almost every aspect of its culture vividly, such as traditional architecture, precious art works and unique festival. When standing in Lincoln Memorial, for instance, I just felt like talking with this great celebrity on his efforts to unity his country. Although other media, including books and internet, could guide us contacting the culture of a foreign country as well, travelling is the most authentic and meaningful method. What’s more, through travelling, we will expand our culture knowledge system, both objective and subjective. Thus it's worthwhile to feel a different culture, instead of continue staying in the accustomed one.
Furthermore, someone may stress that travelling in a foreign country attaches several problems, from new language to a lot of money, which don't emerge when wandering in our own country. In my opinion, these barriers are easy to move aside if we really want to go. With the development of education, quite a few people are able to communicate with strangers using English or the local dialect. At the same time, the budget of travelling abroad is getting equal to that of travelling inland nowadays, for the reason that various vehicles arise more and more convenient and affordable.
Summarizing the points above, travelling in a foreign country could make us watching more and experience more, with little problems easy to solve. It’s worthy of travelling in our own country, but going outside comprises much more value. So don't hesitate, just unfold your world map and pinpoint the next destination. |
