雅思作文：出国旅游VS上网浏览

Wit t he economic development, people’s consumption ability goes up at the same time, and travel becomes one of the most popular activities for leisure period. While tourism industry is increasing prosperous, there arises an issue about whether it is necessary to go abroad.

Supporters believe it is a great opportunity which set foot out of one’s own country for discovering the world. I agree with them. This is the best way where people could broaden their horizon and know much about other countries. What we learn from TV and Internet, which has been processed by the media, is not the original material. Only when you put yourself in that country, you will have a true feeling of what the circumstance is. Even more, you can correct some of your existed idea in your heart. There’s also an advantage of going abroad, which is to make more foreign friends. And through your communication, you will have an all-round experience of that country. Meanwhile, you also gain friendship and a happy memory.

There are some people against the opinion above. They think TV and Internet offer all information they need. Yes, those kinds of media is an efficient source, I admit. However, just like I mentioned, how much of reality in the report is accurate; how much of the first scene is covered completely? Information we see from those is not what we choose to

see but are things what others want us to see. Besides, information from the media is not as vivid as the live experience. When you travel abroad, you can experience how local people lead an everyday life and imagine you are one of them, which is much more than sheer knowledge.

Despite that the media can help us to acquire information as fast as possible, travelling abroad has its unique meaning which cannot and will not be replaced, and I suggest more people should take advantage of travelling abroad to learn about other countries and cultures.
