Some people think visitors to others countries should imitate local customers and behaviours. Some people disagree; they think the host country should welcome cultural differences. Discuss the two views and give your opinion.

           Introduction:
Paragraph 1: benefits of adopting host countries customs:
1.  Decreases chances of misunderstanding and embarrassment. For e.g. in the UK it is offensive to ask about pay to anyone, which is common in India.
2.  A nations customs and traditions are fascinating and offer a deep insight into that country. People visit other countries to broaden their horizon.
3.  Establish a rapport with local people because people feel respected when their customs are understood and imitated. You become a member of them and so you don’t suffer any culture shock.
Paragraph 2: Why a country should tolerate and embrace foreign culture
1.  No country should cling to its own customs and traditions and accept the new customs and traditions brought by visitors.
2.  There should be no binding on the visitors to adopt the customs and traditions of the hosts.
