Some people say that travel helps us to appreciate other cultures. How true is this statement? Do you think that people who travel a lot appreciate other cultures more than those who stay at home?

Thanks to the globalization and the development of transport,

travel

is getting more popular. It is claimed that

travel

improved the appreciation of other cultures. In my opinion, enthusiastic travellers can understand the values of cultures better than those at home for some certain reasons. It is true that

travel

helps people appreciate other traditions and customs.

This

is because when tourists stay with the locals, experience their lifestyles or participate in traditional festivals by themselves, they can make friends, fall in line with the locals and show greater respect to these customs.

Moreover

, when travelling visitors have opportunities to be directly told the history, origin and other

stories of traditions by

inhabitans

inhabitants

whom have lived there for many years.

Last

but not least, travellers can try special

Accept comma addition

food, which

every local area has different recipes.

This

is a key factor in appreciating distinct cultures.

However

, some people believe that they can appreciate cultures through computer or phone screens.

This

is not completely true because they don’t have a chance of experiencing other customs directly and don’t understand the true values of local customs. And clearly travellers have more practical experiences than those who just stay at home and watch or read information on the Internet.

In addition

, not every culture is found on the Internet. In fact, there are some tribes living separate from the rest of the world like some tribes in

which people don’t even know their existence. In conclusion,

travel

really helps people to appreciate other cultures. And personally,

travel

is better than just staying at home to understand the values of other cultures.

As housing is a basic need for people, the government should provide free housing for everyone who cannot afford it. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Universities and colleges are now offering qualifications through distance learning from the Internet rather than teachers in the classroom. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
In recent years, qualifications issued by universities can be offered through online learning instead of face-to-face teaching. Although students may have less social interactions during their studies, I believe that this disadvantage can be outweighted by the fact that students can have a wider choice of college programmes.
