参考范文：

Travel is commonly perceived as a good approach to the traditional customs

and exotic cultures of other countries or regions. However, some people are

suspicious of the necessity of travel as we can learn about other cultures by

reading books, watching films and browsing the Internet, which seem cheaper,

less time-consuming and more accessible. In my view, although these methods can

help us get some general ideas, a full understanding of the local culture can

only be obtained through travelling in person.

Firstly, cultural items acquired from books, movies or the Internet only show

the opinions or attitudes of a certain group of people, who in some

circumstances may convey wrong messages and lead to cultural misunderstanding

and discrimination. For example, in some books or movies British people are

often described as being conservative, sophisticated and indifferent, but when

we travel to the United Kingdom, we’ll find many people there friendly, outgoing

and sometimes even a little crazy. So travel grants us the opportunity to break

the stereotypes brought by mass media.

Secondly, travel boosts cultural communication in a more active way than

books or videos do. During travel, we can initiatively interact with local

people and deeply experience their life,such as their dietary habit, peculiar

customs and unique manners, while transiting our own culture to those local

people in the process of mutual exchanges. Obviously, it is not that easy for

mass media to achieve such a direct and effective interaction.

To conclude, although some mass media, such as books, films or the Internet,

play a necessary role in the cultural exchange, traveling to other places is of

greater importance in order for us to personally experience the distinctive

cultures and customs which may diverge from what we have acquired from mass

media.
