Part 2&3  A short trip you often do but you don’t like答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

Young people usually prefer travelling overseas. They have more energy and more curiosity to see other countries, and perhaps more patience with cultural differences. Young people are more idealistic about other countries and more interested in learning about different ways of doing things. Older people are more set in their ways, less motivated to change and adopt other ways, and usually less flexible about dealing with different ways of doing things – and these are usually things that going overseas involves – adapting to different ways of thinking and doing things. And that can be tiring and challenging – something that young people are more happy to embrace than older people. In general, anyway. 

Yes, most Chinese people I know, especially younger people, enjoy travelling overseas on holidays at least. They are interested in seeing new and different things, and going to another country offers a new and exotic experience. Chinese people are quite patient and adaptable to other ways of doing things, I think, and even if they do encounter challenges and cultural differences, they usually deal with these quite well, and keep their judgements and frustrations to themselves. This makes us quite inclined to be fairly good travelers and not get too frustrated about differences we encounter. However, we do miss our own food a lot when we travel, and often complain, amongst ourselves, about how the food in other countries isn’t as varied and tasty as our own food! 

Well, I’d say a bit of both really. Of course, it depends really who is doing the reading and the travelling. There is nothing that really compares to the direct experience of being overseas oneself. And this cannot be achieved simply by reading a book. However, it’s also a good idea to read about a country a bit before travelling to it, so that you get a bigger picture of the place than just your own experience. So, that’s why I say, a combination of personal travel and reading is usually the best way to approach travelling to a new place.
