I believe differences between people from different countries are diminishing, since the development of the internet. To elaborate, people from different countries can share and learn about other countries more easily by utilizing the internet, which builds a strong connection between different cultures from different countries. For instance, I have a close pen pal from Thailand, and we share our traditional culture of having a new year, contributing to communication between the Chinese and Tai traditional cultures. Some claim that a lot of people talk to only those they agree with and ignore the rest. However, with the increasing number of people sharing their own lives, the world is coming together as a huge village.

Title: 6 文章修订

In my opinion, differences between individuals from various countries are gradually diminishing, primarily due to the proliferation of the internet. The internet enables people from diverse backgrounds to effortlessly share and learn about each other's cultures, thereby fostering a strong connection between them. For example, I have a close pen pal from Thailand with whom I exchange information about our respective New Year traditions, promoting cross-cultural communication between Chinese and Thai cultures. While some argue that many individuals only engage with like-minded people and disregard others, the growing number of individuals sharing their personal experiences online contributes to the world becoming a more interconnected global village.

I acknowledge Paul's point is to some extent convincing. Admittedly, instead of completing work and studies, it is better to relax without a plan. However, I am inclined to prioritize doing some advance planning for my free time, as Claire mentioned. From my perspective, considering staying all a day at school, I prefer to go outside home. If I have no plans, maybe I will get into trouble. For instance, I want to go to a popular restaurant to enjoy dinner, (Two consecutive spaces)but I find there is no seat for me due to a great number of customers, leading me to go back home sadly, which means I need to reserve my seat in advance. Therefore, I firmly believe that the merits of making plans in advance outweigh its counterpart.

Section Title: 6 Article Revision

While I understand the appeal of unplanned relaxation during free time, as expressed by Paul, I must agree with Claire's preference for advance planning. In my opinion, having a well-structured plan for leisure time allows for a more fulfilling experience. For instance, after spending long hours at school, I enjoy exploring the outdoors and engaging in various activities. Without proper planning, unforeseen circumstances may arise, such as arriving at a popular restaurant only to find it fully booked due to high demand. In such cases, prior reservations would have been beneficial. Consequently, I firmly believe that the advantages of advance planning for one's free time far outweigh those of an unstructured approach. (117 words)

Title: 6 文章修订

In response to the professor's question, I concur with Andrew that the differences among individuals from various countries are diminishing in today's interconnected world. The advent of the internet has significantly bridged geographical gaps and fostered global relationships, which were once hindered by traditional communication methods. People now have the opportunity to share their cultures online through platforms such as food blogs, YouTube videos, and social media sites like Twitter and TikTok. While Claire raises a valid point about individuals gravitating towards like-minded opinions on the internet, I contend that widespread exposure to diverse news sources and trending topics can still have a profound impact on people's perspectives. Although some may choose to disregard information that contradicts their beliefs, popular discussions and widely-shared content are difficult to ignore, ultimately contributing to a greater understanding of our global community.

I concur with Andrew’s view that differences between people from different countries are diminishing as we are exposed to other cultures and civilization more largely than before. To be more specific, with the rapid development of globalization, we are more likely to access customs and cultures from other countries given the advanced communication technology. We can learn about delicious foods, interesting festivals and important events of other countries on the social media. And we can also talk with people with a totally different cultural background using chat applications. For example, I have made a friend coming from Japan on twitterTwitter(twitter (Twitter)). We talked a lot about the cultures and customs in Japan. I have never been there but after the communication between us, I have knewknown(Agreement: 'have' + past/present tense) a lot about Tokyo and the traditional festivals in Japan.

Title: 6 文章修订

In agreement with Andrew, I believe that the differences between individuals from various countries are diminishing, primarily due to our increased exposure to diverse cultures and civilizations. The rapid progression of globalization and advancements in communication technology have granted us unprecedented access to customs, traditions, and lifestyles from around the world. Social media platforms enable us to learn about foreign cuisines, intriguing festivals, and significant events while chat applications facilitate conversations with people from entirely different cultural backgrounds. For instance, through Twitter, I connected with a Japanese individual and gained valuable insights into Tokyo's culture, traditional festivals, and youth entertainment despite never having visited the country. This exchange not only broadened my horizons but also enriched my perspectives. Consequently, I maintain that the differences between people from different countries are steadily decreasing.

Title: 6 文章修订

In response to the professor's question, I firmly agree with Andrew that the differences among individuals from various countries are diminishing due to increased exposure to global products and cultures. The advent of advanced technologies has significantly facilitated access to information about diverse customs and lifestyles, thereby fostering a better understanding and assimilation of these aspects. For example, one can easily learn about American culture by watching traditional TV shows or engaging with Americans online without having to travel there. Consequently, people are influenced by these interactions, leading to a reduction in cultural disparities.

While Kelly argues that some individuals may retreat into their own corners when exposed to differences on social media platforms, she overlooks the fact that technology and media continuously report on new developments in other countries. As a result, people are often unconsciously impacted by these updates, further supporting Andrew's assertion that differences between people from different countries are indeed diminishing.
