▶ Your Answer :
Certainly, learning about a foreign country plays a significant role in people’s
daily lives in many of the places where they work or play. Some people think
that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to read newspapers and
magazines from there, while others do not. Both sides have their own reasons to
support their ideas. If I would choose one, I would say that reading newspapers
and magazines is not the best way to learn about a foreign country. There are a
reason as follows. To begin with, reading internet news
instead of newspapers or magazines enables to understand other countries
easily. Internet news has many functions that make people work efficiently and
accurately. When these functions are well used, it is likely to bring a better
result in performance. For example, my youngest brother had to submit a
report about Chinese eating culture. To promote his knowledge about China, he
used to prescribe in Chinese newspapers. He had difficulty in understanding
well its culture because he was not good at speaking Chinese, and he had to
wait a long time that is needed to receive the newspapers because it was sent from
China. He even felt angry on his assignment. However, he has felt easy on
writing his tasks after he started to use google news. With the internet, he was
able to get access to a wider range of Chinese traditional food. He could gain
more precise information about various Chinese cuisine because google translated
Chinese into English automatically. Moreover, he could spend less time on
searching the articles because he just needed to click once. Finally, he could
finish his assignment successfully, and he was able to get A on his report.
Without internet news, he would have fallen behind.
All things considered, I strongly believe that
using internet news is better than reading newspapers and magazines with
respect to learn about a foreign country for the reason I mentioned above. |
