Some
people argue that the most effective way to learn about a foreign country is to
read newspapers or magazines from that country. Because they can get
contemporary information of the country. However, I think the most effective
way to learn about a foreign country is getting around that country and meeting
people who live in the country.
First of all, even though it is true
that newspapers or magazines have a lot of information of the country, the
information is just written on paper. We are not able to experience and feel
that information actually. In contrary, going outside and getting around the
foreign country makes us experience a lot of things directly. For example, we
will not be able to taste the food on the newspaper or magazines because it is
just image of the food, but we can taste it if we are in the place written on
them. Also, we can learn about the history of country by the newspaper though,
we will not able to feel directly the entire historical relics images. However,
we are able to feel the gorgeous feeling of the relics directly if we are in that
place. Therefore, in my opinion, going outside and then feeling the foreign
country more directly is the most effective way to learn about a foreign
country.
Next, meeting and talking with
foreign country’s people is one of the best way to learn about a foreign
country. I can say that it is more important than what I mentioned on the prior
passage. Because, we will be able to learn about more minute information about
the country by staying and communicating with the people who live in that
country. For instance, we can get information such as routine habit of the
country or secret place where commonly travelers are not well-known. Also,
living with them can make us feel common life of their country. This is
definitely great chance to know the foreign country.
In conclusion, I think that just
reading newspaper or magazine to get information about the foreign country is
not effective. We need to go out and make friend who live in the country. These
are totally effective way to learn about a foreign country.
