Writing Task 2
Internet technology means people do not need to travel to foreign countries to understand
how others live. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Essay Plan:
 Introduction: refer to the task question. My opinion – partly agree
 Paragraph 2: most people who visit foreign countries experience nothing of
the lives of local people – example: Phuket in Thailand. They would learn
more by looking at the internet
 Paragraph 3: a few travellers prefer to experience personally the culture and
daily lives of those in foreign places which they visit – food, shopping, music.
What they find on the internet may supplement this experience, but cannot
fully replace it
 Conclusion: the internet provides useful information and analysis, but is not
a substitute for personal experience.
Essay:
It is true that the digital revolution has enabled a growing number of people to gain
access to information about how others live in different countries. While such advances
in technology have made more information available, I only agree in part that this had led
to greater understanding of the lives of those in other countries.
On the one hand, the tourist trade has experienced phenomenal growth, but this does not
mean that those who visit foreign countries leave with any appreciation of the culture or
living conditions of the local people. Holiday resorts such as Phuket in Thailand are
thronged with tourists at the height of the holiday season. However, overseas visitors
remain completely oblivious to how the local inhabitants live. They experience luxury
hotels, sunbathe on beaches, or at most go sightseeing on guided tours. To know how

people in Thailand live, they would learn much more by watching documentaries or
analytical reports on the internet at home.
On the other hand, there are intrepid travellers who prefer to discover for themselves
the culture and daily lives of those in foreign countries which they visit. They avoid
package holidays, and instead visit markets, restaurants and places where local people go
shopping, eat regional dishes or enjoy music. They enjoy real interaction with locals, and
take away memories of the sights, sounds, taste and smells of the culture which they have
briefly come to know. In this way, while there might be a wealth of material online
describing a country or region, such travellers do not become over-reliant on the opinions
or choices of internet contributors.
In conclusion, while personal experience of a place may be supplemented by material
available online, there is no substitute for seeing other cultures at first hand.

2040.
Overall, the urban population is forecast to continue growing faster than the rural
population, while the number of those aged 16-65 is anticipated to continue to rise
dramatically.
In 1950, 8 million people lived in urban centres, compared with 2 million in rural areas.
By 2000 these figures had risen to 20 million and 7 million respectively. Population
growth is expected to reach a total of 43 million in 2040, with 33 million in urban
centres.
There were 7 million people aged 16-65 in 1950 and this figure increased dramatically to
13 million in 1980 and 23 million in 2000. It is projected to reach 28 million by 2040.
The population over 65 numbered 2 million in 1950, compared with 5 million in 2000,
which will almost double by 2040. By contrast, the number of those aged under 15 is
expected to remain relatively stable, from 4 million in 1950 to a forecast of 6 million in
