01 Travel broadens the mind
Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. Many people are rich enough to afford a travel at home or abroad. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. The increasing popularity of travel is, among others, due to the following reason: travel broadens our minds to an extent which may not be reached previously.
For example, if we travel to Africa, we will find a culture totally different from that of ours, and people who think and live in a way unimaginable for us before we set foot on the continent. And we will marvel at the natural wonders, historic miracles and cultural brilliances we find there. All these experiences help to broaden our minds. As a result, our misunderstanding about the continent, if any, will be weeded out, our perspective of seeing the world possibly changed, our mode of thinking altered and, above all, our mind broadened.
Reading makes an erudite博学的 man; practicing a capable man; and traveling a broad-minded man.
