It is sometimes said that ‘travel broadens the mind’. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

#‘travel #mind’
The world is always shifting, and so do
people
.
Therefore
, some
people
 choose travelling as a
way
 to open their minds
,
Remove the comma
apply
show examples
 and see how the world has changed day by day. From my point of view, I partly agree with
this
 thought
due to
 the advantages of it and travel is not only a
way
 to help
people
 broaden their knowledge. Travelling can be seen as an effective
way
 to be open-minded
due to
 some reasons. First of all, travelling will help
people
 to know more about a country, by experiencing their culture and custom.
For example
, when foreign visitors come to Vietnam, they have a chance to understand more about the behaviour, and lifestyle of most Vietnamese through daily activities.
Secondly
, going to another place is one of the best ways to meet new friends and witness different points of view on an issue. Different
people
 from different countries will have their own thought, and views about a situation.
As a result
,
people
 can easily put themself in others' shoes, and develop empathy. On top of that, there are some effective ways to broaden the mind, not only by travelling. Changing opinions and seeing others' reactions can be learned by experiencing real-life situations.
For example
, a discussion definitely shows us the thinking of our friends on the same issue.
Due to
 that,
people
 realize how their minds change
while
 thinking about that situation, in
this
way
 or that
way
 and why they have those views. Opening the mind can
also
 get from reading.
For example
,
people
 can witness the author's view or figure out the solution that they found when reading a self-help book. In conclusion, it can be claimed that not only travelling but
also
 other effective ways can help
people
 be open-minded.
Therefore
, I do agree with
this
 statement partly
due to
 the above reasons.
