▶ Your Answer :
There is an argument over whether it is better to learn about foreign countries from newspapers and magazines than to visit those countries. Some might argue that visit countries to learn is better. However, in my view, I think it is better to learn about foreign countries from newspapers and magazines. There are several reasons that I could support my argument so I will limit my discussion to the two that I feel are the most relevant to the topic. First, people can save money. Also, it is less stressful. To begin with, the most important reason for my feeling this way is that people can save money. Commonly in society, money tends to be important in everyday lives. If people learn about foreign countries by newspapers and magazines, they will make the most of their money. Take my uncle, for example. It was very efficient when he learned about foreign countries from newspapers. It just cost only 10 dollars per month for newspapers. In contrast, my friend Tom went to Canada to learn about that country. Therefore, he had to spend much money for his house and tuition cost. Unlike Tom, my uncle saved money by learning from newspapers and bought useful things such as nice car. This experience clearly shows that it is better to learn foreign countries from newspapers and magazines because of efficiency. Moreover, another reason which proves my point is that it is less stressful. Most often, stress is generally related to anxiety. If people were stressed out by visiting foreign countries, it should not be very effective. It reminds me of a time when I was college student. I went to Japan to learn Japanese and their cultures. It was really stressed out because I had to live alone in Japan. There were no family and friends who care for me. I received so much stress so I could not sleep for a month because of insomnia. I received too much pressure from living alone. As my experience shows that learning foreign countries from newspapers and magazines is better because of stress. To summarize, I believe that it is better to learn about foreign countries from newspapers and magazines on the grounds that people can save money and it is less stressful. |
