20.Some people think that, to learn about other countries, traveling abroad is necessary while others think that is not necessary because TV and the internet can give the same information. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

While

it is commonly believed that the best way to learn about foreign countries is to travel abroad, others deem it unnecessary as the TV and

information

. In my opinion, it is better to travel as there's only so much reading

information

online can do, so it's better to actually experience the

country

for yourself. On the one hand, it is argued that travelling abroad is compulsory to fully understand the culture of another

country

.

This

is because travelling in person gives an individual an insightful look into what it's like to live in that

, experiencing mundane details that may not be fully explained by looking at the

through a screen. It is

possible to say that physically being at the location makes the

stick longer in long-term memory, definitely more than simply reading a bunch of texts or viewing the sceneries through a TV.

For example

, research done by UCLA has illustrated how people learn and retain

information

3 times better if they

get to personally experience what the

is talking about.

On the other hand

, others strongly believe that the

information

given to us through communication media

such

as television or the

is sufficient to understand a

country

. People often have

this

opinion because of the vast amount of

info

that TV, and more prominently the

, can deliver to us. With just a click of a mouse, gaining instant access to

about the economic situation, political system, cultural practices and more is common nowadays. The convenience of the entire process ensures that without ever leaving our homes, we can still be connected to the outside world and understand what's going on internationally. As an example, it is estimated by New York University that with the advent of the

, on average it would only take a maximum of 30 seconds to find a specific piece of

that is

needed. That just goes to show the impact the

has and how it allows you to learn about a different

country

without ever leaving your house. In conclusion,

although

travelling abroad is one of the most effective ways to learn about a

country

, it's not the only way as the

internet

has allowed for easy access to

information

anytime, anywhere. Personally, I tend to believe that even though the

internet

can help us learn about a

country
