TAKS 2
Some people think it is a valuable experience to travel abroad, whereas others believe it is a waste of time and expense since people already have TV programs and the internet nowadays. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
双边讨论题，A方观点国际旅行是一种宝贵的经历;B方观点电视节目和网络的普及让国际旅行变成了一种浪费时间和金钱的行为。需针对AB方观点分别分析双方的合理性，并在接下来给出自己的态度(可支持A/B，也可采取中立态度)，双方各自的劣势不需提及。
The industry of international tourism has been greatly boosted, which is facilitated by the increase of curiosity among civilians towards alienate cultures as well as the advancement in economic situations within different natural boundaries. Although, under the assistance of high-tech devices and innovative programs, it is still of great value to experience a foreign country in person.
What is unquestionable about the rationality of supporters who regard international travel as a waste of time and money is that the renovated shooting technology, high-definition of TV screen and the widespread network cables have already enabled people to embrace knowledge and gorgeous views from almost every corner of the world without stepping out of their bedroom. The vivid scenes of different programs cannot only offer audiences with almost genuine experience of traveling, but also can better convey related knowledge through narrations of instructions. The convenience of the cyber space can also satisfy the demands of every explorer with a free platform to share and exchange opinions. Hence it is understandable for such a group of people to hold the view.
The real circumstances, however, shall never be learned without being personally on the scene. The pictures and expressions provided by TV programs and the internet can merely offer two-dimensional viewing experience whereas wandering around a foreign country will pave direct access to the real lifestyle, underlying cultural characteristics and traditions of the particular country. Compared with watching and internet surfing, international trip can also help to relieve tensions and stress accumulated in routine work and study through living a different life people never had before with the sense of curiosity serving as the source of motivation.
From my perspective, it is highly valuable for people to set on international travel, during which people can both please their eyes through appreciating the natural beauty and ease their minds through breaking from the present status quo.
