There is some disagreement over whether or not it is better to learn about foreign countries from newspapers ad magazines than to visit those countries. Some people believe that people more likely to understand and learn about foreign countries when they go those countries due to their experience. However, in my opinion. Studying by newspaper and magazines can be more effective way to know about other countries. This is because people can have more knowledge about those countries in short period of time and study more comprehensively and easily.
To begin with, people can save time, so study more within same time. Of course, people can better understand and remember about the country, however they have only narrow knowledge because they may not be able to visit all of places where people can learn and experience about the country. According to a study conducted by Time Magazine, thirty percent of the serveyed people responded that they could experience and have chance to understande about country, but they also resported that they thought that they didn‘t have enough time to know more. However, when they were asked to study by reading some newspapers or magazines, they replied that they could more had more information easily without wasting time. The study convincingly affirms that studying by reading some paper forms make people not only save time but also have more information about certain country.
Moreover, newspapers and magazines provide people with easier access and greater opportunities to understand the country. Most magazines and newspapers are generally written by specialists or confirmed by experts. Therefore, these forms may have more comprehensive information, which helps people understand easily. For example, when I was a freshman in university, I took a subject which dealt with Chinese tradition. For my high grade in my course, I visited China in weekend because I believed that I could understand more by having experience. However, after visiting, although I took some simple paper exam, my score was very bad than I expected. My best friend, Tom, advised me to read magazine, which dealt with Chinese tradition. I started to study by using the magazine. Finally, in my final exams, I got very high score, so I could receive scholarships. Had it not been for my friend, I have struggled my subject. Based on my experience, reading magazines and newspaper is one of the most efficient and affordable ways to learn about other country.
To summarize, studying some newspapers or magazines helps people not to waste time and to have more thorough information about country. In this regard, as far as learning about foreign countries is concerned, reading some paper forms is more effective way.
