BÀI MẪU: 

In recent years, digital technology has improvised significantly the way we gain an understanding of other cultures. Therefore, I believe that Internet has made traveling no longer a necessary way to improve our awareness of the cultures of people from different regions.

Firstly, the Internet has provided its users with a wide variety of sources to discover other lifestyles. It is not uncommon for most young people to explore how different cultures express themselves in film and literature. For example, some prefer more affordable options than traveling, such as watching movies or documentaries on Netflix or another streaming app, to learn about different areas or people worldwide. Besides, reading online news sources also allows us to keep up with/ keep track of/ keep abreast of the latest news on holidays, festivals, or trends of other cultures without leaving our home.

Furthermore, social media has made the world smaller and more accessible than ever. It provides an opportunity to communicate with others and belong to different virtual networks, namely Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Following people from other cultures on social media is a great way to directly learn about their values, opinions, and beliefs in different areas of life. Besides, there are many channels on YouTube dedicated to a specific culture or aspects of a culture. Often, these videos are produced by people from that culture, or know a lot about it, thus broadening one’s perspective and having an open mind about different ways of life.

In conclusion, it is my firm belief that the Internet has revolutionized how we learn about other cultures. Rather than traveling abroad, we can expand our knowledge of different cultures thanks to the popularity of movies, online news as well as social media platforms.
