The advancement of internet technology means people do not need to travel to foreign countries to understand how people in other places live. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many

people

believe that the development of

internet

networks leads to a decrease in travellers in different nations as they do not need to go on a trip to acquire knowledge of various lifestyles. I partly agree with

this

statement because of some pros and cons which it brings to us. The advancement of the

internet

does give us some advantages.

Firstly

, spending time travelling sometimes seems to be impossible for busy

people

, especially students since they have to study a lot at school.

For example

, the

Internet

can help them catch up with the latest news or give them interesting information about the cultures of places through pictures, videos or travel blogs.

Secondly

, going on a journey costs a lot of money.

People

must pay for plenty of things

such

as flight tickets, hotels, restaurants

as well as

souvenirs. For individuals who are on a tight budget but still want to discover more about different countries, the

Internet

is the best suggestion.

However

, only using the

internet

to understand how

people

in places live

also

brings disadvantages. There is nothing which is better than visiting and experiencing the local lifestyles by yourself.

For instance

, when you visit Saigon, you can try lots of famous street food there, just imagine sitting on the sidewalk and enjoying Com Tam, a traditional dish made from broken rice, it will be an amazing experience.

Additionally

,

people

might get stressed out as they do not spend time unwinding after a long time working or studying. Taking on a trip is an ideal way to recharge our batteries,

also

it can help us have beautiful memories with our family and friends. In conclusion,

while

the

internet

gives

people

various knowledge around the world so quickly and easily, it is more necessary for them to experience everything directly.
