ielts speaking Part 2 about Describe A Vacation You Had In A Faraway Place

People in my country show a great fancy for domestic destinations for a couple of reasons. The main one I guess is that my country is widely acclaimed for its picturesque landscapes so it’s unnecessary to go on an overseas trip.The second reason is people have tight budgets so travelling in their home country is more economical.

Well, obviously there are a number of clear differences between going on a tour abroad and actually living there. Perhaps the most significant difference is that travelling only paints a rosy picture of life in our destination country like we can enjoy the delicacies, experience exotic cultures and shop in big malls while the everyday life of the citizens seems to be ignored. In addition, with the company of a tour guide, there is no need to learn the language, search for directions since everything is properly prepared. Conversely, an immigrant is supposed to experience culture shock, food adaptability and other issues if they start living there.

Yes, without doubt. In most of the cases, immigrants or tourists to another country tend to suffer from culture shock, food adaptability and racial discrimination and stuff like that. So, it’s quite advisable that they make real efforts to pay decent respect to the host country’s culture when people come to a new land.

Of course, globalization is a sweeping trend in the twenty-first century and has considerable influences on all nations worldwide. One of its impacts is that it brings countries closer together, making the world a global village. To be more precise, today we can travel to anywhere we like and have greater freedom to explore the exotic cultures and broaden our horizons. In addition, international cooperation is quite a common word, you see. Every country in the world is interdependent on one another for economic growth and cultural appreciation. However, some problems can arise like racial discrimination, social prejudice and so on, which are some of the downsides of this wholesome trend.

Why do more and more people choose to travel abroad? Clearly, there are a number of merits brought by travelling. But I would probably say that the thing that really stands out is that we can broaden our horizons of the world. To be more specific, when coming to a new region or a country, we have the chances to sample the local life, enjoy the cuisine and learn many interesting stuff. Besides, a second positive point could be that we can let our hair down after stressful periods of hard work or study. A short visit to somewhere can help us recharge our batteries and work more effectively afterwards.

If you ask me, I would say that travelling on our own can free us from the burden of others and so have more freedom and independence to explore to our heart’s content. To be more precise, when you travel on a package tour with your family members, you have to plan your budget, can’t take your eyes off the small kids or have to follow the instructions of the tour guide. However, when you are being on your own, you can head to anywhere you feel like, mix with the local people, experience many different feelings, and become more independent.

If I were to choose between the two, I would opt for domestic trips simply because I am not a wealthy person at all. Therefore, travelling to different parts of my country can be economical at first. Besides, there are no language barriers compared to when you make a tour to a far-away land where you have no idea about their culture or mother language. In a nutshell, such a nationwide journey can satisfy my sense of adventure.
