Good morning, Kitos! Thanks so much for revising my essay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ People can benefit more from travelling in his THEIR own country than traveling in foreign countries.(A bad start.)
Travel has always been a really good option to relax during our vacation. Which way will benefit people more, traveling domestically or overseas? From my PERSPECTIVE, there are surly more advantageS when people travel in their own countries.
First of all, comparing travel abroad, there is no language barrier when people ARE travelling within their home country. It’s much easier for people to deal, no matter WHETHER buying the transportation tickets, booking hotels, asking for directionS or ordering dishes in a restaurant. We are all familiar with the scene WHERE A foreigner conductS all kinds of gestureS in order to let people understand what they want to express. If we travel abroad, we may be the one standing in the street and gesturing , or sitting in a restaurant, facing a menu, but having no idea what kind of food the restaurant offeSr and what we should order.
Moreover, travelling domestically, people can learn the local customS AND culture much better and faster, even IF there are some difference concerning customs and culture between different parts according to the different climate, and geography. After all, all the parts of the country have interacted for a long time, shared the culture, and created history together. Hence, we won’t be utterly strange about them even if we haven’t been there before. It’s easy for us to recall the knowledge amassed before.
Furthermore, it’s economical to travel in our own countries. We can choose train or bus, which are more economical than air plane. We don’t need to spend a fortune on the tickets in order to fly over the ocean to THE other side. Even if we opt to travel by air, the price of A domestic flight is lower than that of international line more often than not. As we know, in many countries, the vendors sell items to foreigners with much higher price than to their folks. Therefore, we could harvest HAVE A GOOD TIME economically if we travel domestically.
In a word, if I plan for my vocation, I will choose travelling in my own country, since it can bring me an enjoyable vocation with lots of benefits. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Not too bad Channelee. You write well, but need to do more reading to widen your horizons.
