2 在某种意义上说,电视和网络甚至促进了旅游。 / 吸引, 方便,便利
3 电视和网络为人们的旅游带来便利
issue 150 I agree with the speaker insofar as that television and worldwide connections have made us be more familiar with a great many places that we have never visited before. However, I cannot accept the further conclusion of the speaker that tourism will soon become obsolete. In my opinion, with the development and spread of television and worldwide computer connections, the tourism will thrive instead of be obsolete.
First of all, the physical beauty of one place people get from watching television can not substitute the actual interesting of visiting this place. By watching pictures or introductive words in television or network, one only can understand the surface beauty involved in the place. However, one can not taste many deep interesting things. For instance, one can know California beautiful seashore and sunshine by watching TV. But he/she can not perceive the indelible felling of sitting on the seashore and touching the sea water in California unless he/she goes to this place. In addition, visiting a place makes us have a good chance to eat local food ,communicate with local people, learn local language, even take part in local activities. By watching pictures in TV or computer, one never get these pleasure .What is more important, is that tourism can make people relax themselves largely. Be far from office, one would forget the problems or difficulties he/she meets in work and only enjoying the interests of tourism. In addition, to some extent, television and computer network make tourism more convenient, because they provide a large volume of information about the place which people are intend to visit. This information makes it possible for people to make sufficient preparation for their tourism. The information about weather in that place makes people know which clothes should be carried with them. The consumption information about foods , hotels, vehicle makes people know how much money is enough for them. Information about journey make people can make a reasonable tourism scheduling before they leave. Moreover, computer network make it is possible that people can order hotels and cars. In this way, people can avoid this case that when they arrive in the place, they find there are no places to live which would greatly disturb their good feeling. In short, television and computer network make tourism more comfortable and funning. In the final analysis, television and computer network also serves to spark people's interest in visiting other places. Imagine that when the audience of TV and user of computer networks see kinds of colorful information about the places, it is hard for them not being encouraged to visit this place in their free time. At the same time, cultures and historical story about a place which be introduce on TV may motivated some parents to lead their children to go out of their home for tourism in that place which would make their children broaden their view.
In conclusion, while I fundamentally agree with the speaker that TV and computer connections have rendered us more familiar with a great many places, I cannot acceptable the assertion that tourism will be obsolete soon because the television and computer network intrigue people of tourism and provide convenience for their tourism.
