　　1. Why do Chinese people like to travel abroad?

　　为什么中国人喜欢出国去旅游，这道题的原因可以有如下：

　　第一，shopping购物，尤其是买免税商品tax-free products，love to go shopping abroad，比如衣服outfits，包bags，化妆品cosmetics/make-up products等等，这些商品比在国内买便宜很多much cheaper than those in China，国内的税很高the sky-high luxury tax at home，价格贵expensive/steep price caused by heavy taxation，而且国外的产品常常会有打折discount，同时质量也很高in good quality，所以很多人喜欢出去购物，这里还可以给几个目前比较火的大家爱买的东西，比如很多人喜欢去日本买电饭煲buy rice cooker in Japan，去韩国买化妆品purchase cosmetics in Korea等等;

　　第二，中国的经济发展使得人们更有钱，可以承担得起出国旅行can afford a trip overseas，the economic development allows people to travel，中产阶级变多了the expanding middle-class，这些人在国内玩久了之后就希望可以有一些新鲜的东西去玩，国外很多地方对国内的人来说是陌生的，以前没去过there are a lot of places they have never been before，所以想要去探索want to explore;

　　第三，国外有很多著名的景点attraction/must-sees，例如Mount Fuji in Japan，Louvre in Paris等等，和中国的景点和风景差距很大different from those in China,所以中国人想要去看visit，对国人很有吸引力attract Chinese people;

　　第四，有部分人也觉得出国旅游代表着自己的身份地位to show that they are affluent enough to afford a trip abroad，可以发照片和视频post photos or videos，这样亲朋好友们都知道自己过得挺好，以后在和别人聊天的时候可以显示自己去过很多地方。

　　当然这道题可以有一些非常规的答案，例如现在比较流行的一些出国游趋势是因为大家有其他的需求，例如曾经很火的韩国整容团a boom in plastic surgery-related tourism，和考驾照旅游团getting a driver’s license in South Korea等等。

　　示范答案：

　　Many Chinese prefer to go shopping abroad. They are so fascinated with buying tax-free products in the foreign countries, like cosmetics, shoes, bags, and nice outfits. There are also a lot of discounts for those products overseas. In China, people often face they sky-high luxury taxes, which means that almost every product is much expensive than that in a foreign country. So a number of Chinese people would choose to buy these abroad. Besides, thanks to the expanding middle class and the economic development, people in China can actually afford a trip to another country. It is no longer unaffordable for a normal family. So that’s why Chinese like to travel abroad.

　　2. What can people benefit from international travel?

　　人们可以从出国旅游中获得什么好处，也就是说出国旅游给人们带来的益处是什么：

　　第一，可以认识不同的人和见识很多地方，get to know different people and places，学习如何和不同的人打交道learn how to interact and communicate with people who are different than we are，develop social skills/abilities，很多人在这一过程中去和别人分享想法和意见，从而获得更多的ideas and opinions;

　　第二，可以接触不同的文化，getting accustomed to different cultures，而且这种接触可以是educational的有教育意义的/enlightening有启发的，可以更好地认识这个世界deepens our understanding of the world，同时甚至可以更好地学习外语，a chance to practice local language/second language，而且有机会接触到各种slang俚语等当地人使用的spoken language，而不是written language;

　　第三，人们可以放松，休闲度假relaxation，减轻压力reduce stress and tension/remove stress，因为旅游可以带来愉悦bring joy to life，同时restore balance让生活工作平衡，恢复心情。

　　示范答案：

　　First, you can get to know different people and places. When travelling, people have the opportunity to meet different people from different places. All people have their own way of communicating, and not all ways are effective. Some people tend to have problems expressing themselves because their social abilities are not developed. Travelling and interacting with a variety of people can help build or improve social skills with very little effort. Besides, experiencing different cultures can also be enlightening and educational; many travelers look for places to visit whose cultures are different from their own. Learning about other’s lives and customs deepens our understanding of our world. It teaches us respect and is humbling in many cases.
