Part 3 的旅遊題跟 Part 2 Cue Card 不同——不要答成遊記。考官要你分析旅遊對社會、文化、經濟的影響。關鍵句："Why do people travel more now than before?" 這類題目要往全球化、消費升級、科技的角度回答。

5 題代表題 + Band 7+ 範例
Q1. Why do people travel more now than in the past?
Generally speaking, three factors have converged. First, flights are dramatically cheaper in real terms than 30 years ago — budget airlines transformed the economics. Second, disposable incomes have risen across much of Asia. And third, social media has arguably created a kind of aspirational pressure to travel and be seen travelling. So it's economic opportunity meeting cultural pull.
Q2. Do you think tourism does more good or harm to local communities?
It really depends on how it's managed. Well-managed tourism brings genuine income and cultural exchange — think of small island economies that would struggle without it. On the other hand, over-tourism in places like Venice or Kyoto has arguably turned residents into props in other people's holidays. So the answer isn't tourism yes-or-no; it's about volume and regulation.
Q3. Is it important for people to learn about other cultures before travelling?
On the whole I'd say yes, though "important" is doing a lot of work there. Knowing basic etiquette, a few phrases, and some historical context means you'll have a richer experience and cause less offence. That said, I wouldn't want to make travel feel like homework — part of the point is surprise. So moderate preparation, generous curiosity on the ground.
Q4. Has globalisation made cultures around the world more similar?
Arguably yes, at least at the surface. You can buy an iPhone, a Coke and a Starbucks coffee in almost any capital city now, which is genuinely new. On the other hand, I'd push back a bit — the deeper layers of culture, like humour, food at home, family dynamics, remain remarkably distinct. What globalises is mostly the retail layer.
Q5. Should tourists be restricted from visiting fragile environments?
I'd say yes, provided the restrictions are transparent and based on genuine carrying capacity. Places like Machu Picchu or the Galápagos have already moved to daily visitor caps, and generally speaking it has worked — visitors still get access, but the sites aren't being loved to death. On the other hand, blanket bans tend to just shift pressure elsewhere, so the design matters.

台灣考生常見陷阱：變成遊記
考官問 "Do people travel differently now?"，考生答 "Last summer I went to Japan and..." ——這是 Part 2 答案誤用於 Part 3。Part 3 要的是 generalise，不是個人經驗。
修正：把「我」換成「人們」：
Before: I go to Japan every year for the food.
After: People from Taiwan tend to choose Japan as their first overseas trip — partly because of proximity, partly because the food culture overlaps with what they already enjoy. On the other hand, younger travellers increasingly look further afield — Europe, Southeast Asia — because social media has widened what counts as an aspirational destination.
