TOEFL ESSAY [Traveling own country is better than traveling a foreign country.]

Traveling own country is better than traveling a foreign country.

 

    In modern society, it has been controversial whether traveling own country is better than travelling a foreign country. However I basically disagree with given statement because people in Korea want to be away from the routine working systems.

 

Most of all, business people in Korea want to be away from routine working systems. As a matter of fact, about 70% of workers in Korea repeat the same task over and over again, so they have a lot of stress from the routine working schedules. Also, a recent survey conducted by the government showed that people who were traveling a foreign country are more satisfied than traveling own country.

 

In addition, students in Korea also want to be away from routine school system. As society in Korea getting complex and competition-oriented, to be more competitive many students have to tend to make effort to develop themselves. This means they have also lots of stress from school system.

 

To sum up, I strongly oppose the perspective that traveling own country is better than traveling a foreign country. Because many people in Korea have a lot of stress, most people in Korea want to be away from routine systems.
