(09.02.21 NA) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Newspapers and magazines are the best ways to learn about a foreign country？


   To begin with, I would definitely disagree with the speaker’s opinion that newspapers and magazines are the best way to learn about a foreign country for a couple of reasons.

   First and foremost, it is true that newspapers and magazines can provide much more information concerning what happened outside our own country than that from ordinary books especially textbooks we learn at school, there are many other ways to know about a foreign country such as the internet or by travelling. In my opinion, the best way to learn about a foreign country is to go there by our own in order to get a real experience concerning their life style, especially to live with them for a while, if possible. Besides, we could catch up with the latest news and information about a foreign country through internet or travelling, rather than acquiring what's commonly known.

For one thing, not every episode of newspapers and magazines are all useful, through reading newspapers and magazines we are actually not able to get what we need and want to know. For instance, there is a large amount of latest news about politic events and anecdotes of celebrities in newspaper and magazines are replete with sappy stories which could do nothing to our recognition to a foreign country. For another thing, even if we can find one or two passage about life in another country, it is probably just a brief introduction or advertisements and the amount of useful information is limit.

   To sum up, I strongly oppose the author’s opinion that the best way to learn about a foreign country is by reading newspaper and magazines for the sake of its limit information and other better ways like searching the internet.
