这个题目我也没有写过,在楼主原文基础上做了一些改动,也当做一次练习,与楼主和NN们一起探讨。多谢
Nowadays, more and more people choose to travel during their leisure time. After arriving in new places, many of them prefer to visit museums. Why people favor to visit museums? When facing with this question, different people will hold different views depending on respective angles. As far as I am concerned, however, I tend to agree that understanding the local culture, gaining entertainment, and purchasing souvenirs are three basic factors leading people to visit museums. My arguments are presented as follows.
To begin with, visiting museums is one of the most convenient ways for people to understand the local history and culture. With the limited time in a trip, it is very difficult for travelers to research every aspect of the local society in detail. Nevertheless, museums afford valuable opportunities for tourists to acquire the general information. A museum usually has outstanding collections that cover the place’s culture from prehistory to the present day. By visiting Museums, people could know not only the history of the place, but also its other cultural characters such as customs, economic development and so on. For example, through visiting the Forbidden City museum in Beijing, China, where there is an extensive range of collection including bronzes, ceramics, painting, rare books and documents, people could acquire a comprehensive understanding about the culture of Beijing.
Next, museum is a fabulous place for travelers to gain entertainment while learning knowledge. Recently, most museums provide people with many sorts of hand-on activities in which visitors could be involved and enjoy more pleasure. For instance, people could take part in some interesting programs such as making plane models by themselves, watching the vivid videos about how dinosaur were extinct, or casting in the role of an astronaut to fly into imitated universal space. In this way, not only could travelers learn knowledge impressively, but they appreciate more amusement as well.
Furthermore, museums are perfect places to purchase souvenirs. When people travel to a place, they like to buy some special souvenirs that are of local characteristics and take them back home, in order to memorize their tours, to show off their experience, or to bestow as presents to their friends. In a museum, there are lots of commodities that are beautiful and meaningful, such as exquisite silk, copper coffee pots or colorful rugs. No matter what items travelers purchase, one thing is certain: they could get the satisfied stuff they want.
To sum up, even though there may be some other reasons for people to visit museums, the three points proved here are essential ones. By visiting museums, people could understand the local culture, gain entertainment and purchase special souvenirs. When there are chances to travel around, people should not miss the occasions to visit the museums.
