Task：It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures. We can learn from books, films and internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
去其他地方学习其他文化是没有必要的。我们可以从书本、电影和互联网上学习。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?
解析：
本题的核心在于：如果要了解别国的文化风俗，是否还需要去那里旅游，或者从网络，书籍和电影里面了解就可以了?这个题目很古老了，答起来也蛮容易的。大家不难想到，从网络、书籍和电影里的确可以了解到别国的文化，但这些都是二手信息，经过了创作者的过滤，我们从中看到的未必是真实的别国文化(相关例子很多)，因此，真正了解一个国家文化风俗，还是应该亲身去旅游，通过自己的眼睛去看，自己的心去理解，这样，我们才能消除二手资料里那些歪曲的看法，从而真正实现文化与文化之间的交流。
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 comprehension of the local culture can only be obtained through travelling in person.
Firstly, cultural items acquired from books, movies or internets only show the opinions or attitudes of a certain group of people, which in some circumstances convey wrong messages with cultural misunderstanding and discrimination. For example, in some books or movies British people frequently appears a bit conservative, sophisticated and indifferent, but when we travel to the United Kingdom, we’ll find many people friendly, outgoing and sometimes 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, endemic customs and unique manners, to mention just a few, 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 internet, play a necessary role in the cultural exchange, traveling to other places is of greater importance in order to personally experience the distinctive cultures and customs which may diverge from what we have acquired from mass media.
