It is not necessary for people to travel to other places to learn about the culture. We can learn as much as from books, films and the Internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Travel

has always been perceived as a good approach to traditional customs and exotic

culture

of other countries.

However

, nowadays, some

people

begin to hold

such

a perspective that we should avoid a wide variety of travels aimed at learning about

culture

since reading books and watching films have provided us with enough information on cultural traditions in other

places

. I think that overall, I disagree with the view. As reasonable it may seem, compared with travels, the flexibility and convenience of the references, videos and websites related to traditional

culture

are apparent.

In particular

, thanks to today’s advanced Internet technologies, we can not only acquire E-books and documentaries with rich contents but

also

adjust the peace of our studying plans to our own needs, just needing an Internet-connected device

such

as a smartphone or laptop. It appears that some mass

can make us get a higher degree of autonomy than travels.

Nevertheless

, it seems unwise to underestimate travels’ contributions to the spread and education of traditional

culture

, after all, as an activity needing human beings’ active participation,

travel

allows us to maintain close contact with

In addition
