Great job!
IELTS task 2 (please help me to revise)
Q: Some people think that when a person travels into a different culture they should adapt to the local practices and customs.
To what extent do you agree?
Write at least 250 words.
Nowadays, there have been increasing opportunities to traveling to different countries around the world. Some people believe that we should immerse in the local practices and customs of the places that we travel to. In my point of view, I totally agree with this statement for two main reasons.
The most significant reason that I agree with immersion in local activities is that it is the easiest way to show your appreciation and respect to local people, which can bridge the gap of different cultures and you can gain more knowledge of it. For example, I went to London last year, where I experienced a series of culture shocks. While taking photo, the gesture of victory was common in our country, but it was an unfriendly and disrespectful sign for British. However, it is essential to know the history behind these customs, so you can can avoid misunderstanding.
Secondly, compared to import materials, local meals which use local vegetables and meat can be healthier and cheaper. In addition, you can become skillful in making exotic cuisines. Also, gathering together with local people to have a meal can be a good chance to learn new things, which is the main purpose of travel for most people. However, being open-minded and not criticizing each other is the fundamental rules to visit different countries.
In conclusion, traveling to different countries is not only an option for entertainment but also an opportunity for expanding horizons and gaining insightful experience. What you need to do is to abandon the stereotypes and adapt to the local activities. Then you can embrace a whole new world.
