问题     Shall Visitors Follow Local Customs or Keep Their Own Ones?
    Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs. Others disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural differences. What’s your opinion? Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
    Shall Visitors Follow Local Customs or Keep Their Own Ones?
    You are to write in three parts.
    In the first part, state specifically what your opinion is.
    In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your opinion.
    In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.

答案     Shall Visitors Follow Local Customs or Keep Their Own Ones?
    "Do in Rome as the Romans do". This saying eloquently advises every tourist to respect the local culture. I could not agree with this advice more and I think that visitors should follow the local customs.
    First of all, the purpose of traveling is to experience more and know more about the world. What is the point of visiting Japan if we expect Japanese sushi tastes like cheese burger in our hometown? Again why do we bother to travel across deserts, if we naively hope to take a shower every day? In order to have a unique travelling experience, we must respect the local customs and let them surprise us. Secondly, requiring host countries to accept the cultural diversity of the visitors is an act of cultural imperialism. Imagine how it will be if people in India, a country where eating with fingers is widely accepted, have to offer a number of tools transporting food into the mouth: chopsticks, spoons, knife and fork. The Indian characteristic is lost and replaced by the featureless diversity. This is a rather rude imposition and visitors have no right to "invade" the host culture in this way.
    In conclusion, visitors should be aware of the importance of following local practices, and appreciate the unparalleled experience coming out of it.
