Sample Answer
I completely agree that traveling abroad is the best way to learn about another culture.
First, you can directly experience daily life, such as food, markets, and local traditions.
Second, you can interact with local people and practice the language, which is more effective than just reading a book.
Finally, travel gives you memories and feelings that you cannot get from the internet or TV.
For these reasons, I believe traveling abroad is the best cultural education.
