When people discuss the impacts of international tourism, they have different opinions. Some people think that this , while others believe it is helpful to increase international understanding. In my view, there are many reasons to think that this will improve international understanding . First of all, it helps in spreading of culture. In the world, every country has its own distinct society and cultures. For example, an Italian person can better understand the Asians by visiting any Asian nation and come to know how young people respect their elders in their society. Good cultural values which are absent from one's own society can be adapted from other societies. tourism aids in learning foreign languages. one's knowledge and experience. I am an Indian student and want to get admitted to Harvard University . Thus I’ll have to enrol in English language courses with my studies. and will provide me chances to learn a new language and thus the cultures and history associated with it. Finally, Tourism provides the real experience of things and History. We have seen many things and movies, but a visit to that place makes us closer to that thing. I have seen in videos and would like to visit the central African forest reserve to examine and discover more about this animal. Through a person can get the practical reality and with the help of African peoples and their government. To sum up, it is clear that tourism is important to people of different cultures. The above discussion shows that it not only provides one with the opportunity to know about other cultures, languages, history but the possibility to learn and experience the first-hand experience many realities.

Overall assessment
Why this response received Band 6.0
The strongest aspect is the clear, consistent disagreement with the prompt, supported by three relevant and reasonably developed arguments about culture, language, and first-hand experience. The main limitation is imprecise wording and recurring grammatical inaccuracy, alongside personal examples that drift from the international tourism focus.
