One possible version:
By reading more books or by traveling more? The topic has aroused many people’s attention .Different people have different opinions on how to get acquainted with the world we live in more efficiently .
Many people hold the view that reading is more meaningful than traveling .Through reading ,we can learn a lot about history , cultures and customs , gain much new knowledge that will be useful for our life and work .Some other people , however , believe that traveling enlightens human beings more directly .As the saying goes, travelling a lot is much better than reading thousands of books. It helps expand our horizons and makes us see the world by our own eyes to get the first hand understanding .Besides , it’s more relaxing .
As for me, the former view makes more sense .Although travelling is a good way to know one’s country and the world , it takes more time and costs more than average people can afford .Whereas , reading is obviously easier to do , books can bring us anywhere we want .
