Exercise 8 - Part 1
Write your essay in 220 - 260 words in an appropriate style.
Your class has listened to a podcast discussing the role of international travel in personal development and global understanding. Now, your tutor has asked you to write an essay.
'Immersing yourself in a country is the fastest way to pick up a language and appreciate customs.'
'Navigating foreign cities alone builds immense self-reliance and problem-solving skills.'
'Meeting diverse groups of people breaks down internal biases and builds global empathy.'
Write an essay for your tutor discussing two of the aspects in your notes. You should explain which benefit is the most important for personal growth and provide reasons to support your opinion.
You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the discussion, but you should use your own words as far as possible.
