Travelling is more important than reading books to understand people and the world.A book about another country tells you about things such as the country's history,its people and its culture in a very general way.When meeting foreigners,I found that books can't be trusted wholly.For example,when I was visiting Wisconsin University,many people there knew China through books.They thought Chinese people were not active,uneducated,had no sense of humor,and all wore blue suits.Through the videotapes shown by me,they were surprised to find that these facts were not true at all and the Chinese people are outgoing(外向的) and have great intelligence,dress well and have an equally strong sense of humor.Reading a book about another country makes me interested in travelling.Then I make plans to go and see what I have read about.In addition,people who go out and go through things themselves are likely to be open-minded,and are really interested in making things happen.More and more Chinese travel at home or abroad.Especially the children who travel more will truly be full of knowledge about their own country.I have always felt enriched by the experience.It is only by "getting into action" that one can make a mark in this world,and truly live a meaningful(有意义的) life.
