雅思寫作范文：國際旅游不能促進(jìn)異國文化的理解

這是個(gè)很古老的題目的翻版。1999年有過這樣一個(gè)題目： Contrary to people's belief, international tourism does not promote understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do you agree?

范文： Every year, hundreds of millions of people move around to see a different part of the world. It is natural to assume that tourists who have seen other countries have a better knowledge of the people. That assumption also leads to the conclusion that international tourism promotes understanding between nations. How true is this? Let us examine what tourists do in a different country.

First, before going abroad, tourists are often told by their travel agents of the possible hazards which sometimes include local people. They are given example of extreme cases where victims are always the travelers. Then, when they arrive, they are immediately taken to their hotels in big coaches. They flood places where local people don't go. Their shopping, meals, entertainment all take place in secluded areas. They wear a bubble all the way. Apart from speaking to the guide and a few shop assistants, tourists rarely talk to the local people. To make it even worse, they meet pickpockets, they are ripped off by dishonest traders. Furthermore, very few local people bother to talk to them out of a genuine interest in the guests' country, people and culture. Therefore, when asked how much they know about the local people, their answer is "very little".

If someone really wants to understand a different culture, he has to learn its language, stay there for at least a few month without wearing a bubble, learn how to curse and swear, bargain with a vegetable vendor and then he can say that he understands the people.(258 words)

簡評：

這是一個(gè)已在西方得到廣泛討論的題目，普遍被接受的答案是旅游起不到促進(jìn)民族、文化之間的交流與理解。

不同文化所推崇的東西也不同，這里有一個(gè)political correctness的問題。

要注意西方的時(shí)尚，如裘皮大衣、紅木家具就不為青年人所推崇，參加旅游團(tuán)也是退休的老頭、老太太們的事。我們所追求的內(nèi)容，如私人轎車、(旅行團(tuán)式的)出國旅游在一些西方人看來有點(diǎn)“傻”。一些雅思考官就是這樣的人。他們理應(yīng)只評判我們的語言，但內(nèi)容上能與他們的思想合拍豈不更好?

注意第二段中 first, then, to make it even worse, furthermore 的用法。
