It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures. We can learn from books, films and Internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people think that travelling to other places in order to learn about other cultures is unnecessary. While I believe that distance-learning methods like books, films and the Internet are still useful for some people to learn about other cultures, it is definitely necessary to
travel
in order to gain an authentic understanding.

he has not ever been to China.
On the other hand

In conclusion, there are both drawbacks and benefits to learning about other cultures through books, film, and the Internet.
