C、範文Sample

In my opinion, travel not only brings pleasure to us but also broadens our horizons. We may read a lot about the world in newspapers, books, or magazines, but only real experience can leave a deep and lasting impression on our minds. Not until we have walked along the Great Wall will we realize how spectacular it is.

When we travel, we also need to deal with cultural differences that may not have been mentioned in the books we have read. For example, my parents and I traveled in India last summer. On our first night in Mumbai, we decided to try the local cuisine at a famous restaurant. After we were all seated, we were surprised to see that most of the diners ate their meals with their hands rather than chopsticks or forks. Although we had read many articles about Indian culture, we knew little about Indian during etiquette. From this special experience, I have learned that table manners vary from culture to culture. In short, travel is not just a way to relax, it is also a way to learn about the real world we live in.
