Some people think that it is necessary to travel abroad to learn about other countries, but others think that it is not necessary to travel abroad because all the information can be seen on TV and the internet. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
In
this
day and age, international travel seems to be popular for people
from many parts of the world. Some say going overseas is necessary as a means of learning, while opponents to this

This
essay will discuss both views before deducting my personal opinion, using examples from the Chinese government and Oxford University to demonstrate arguments.
On the one hand, the importance of travelling toward learning cannot be neglected, since the first

, it is conclusively clear that travelling abroad is an effective way for tourists to comprehend knowledge
related to foreign countries.
On the other hand
, those who believe television
and the internet can replace travelling as the means of learning about other countries would provide the following reason. By concluding useful knowledge
and displing useless information, an educational documentary on television
or a professional-edited video on the internet allows watchers to acquire more well-rounded knowledge
in a short period of time, while people
may find it hard to achieve the same outcome via travelling. For instance
, an extensive study by Oxford University indicates that the knowledge
about a new place, including historical stories and local cultural mores that one could learn during a 7-day international tour only takes up to 30% of the contents in a 2-hour documentary on television
. Thus
, it is possible to state beyond doubt that television
shows and online websites would provide more comprehensive information for people
, which makes travelling unnecessary.
In conclusion, it is true that going overseas can provide people

Word Count
IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.
A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.
Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
