One possible version:

A "selfie" is a photo taken of oneself, usually with a cell phone, and shared online. The word was first used in 2002 by an Australian who posted his self-taken picture on a web forum accompanied by the caption "selfie". Since then, the popularity of the word itself and the act it describes have exploded worldwide and in 2013 "selfie" was named "word of the year" by the Oxford Dictionary. Supporters believe that the taking and posting of selfies reflects the human need to connect and communicate with others. However, critics argue that selfies are nothing more than reflection of people's increasing self-absorption and vanity, which value outer appearance over inner character.

Possible version l:

The growth in overseas Chinese tourism has been matched by examples of bad behavior by some tourists while abroad. Consequently, the government is taking action to improve travellers' behavior and ensure China projects a positive image to the outside world.

The media is full of examples of people behaving badly when travelling abroad. Unfortunately a small but very visible minority of tourists frequently ignore local traditions and act in loud, overbearing and ill-mannered ways.

Such behavior causes damage on different levels. It hurts the feelings of local people and creates ill-will among them. In extreme cases, poor behavior by tourist may even damage important cultural monuments, reducing the world's cultural heritage. Finally bad behavior injures the reputation of the tourist's own country in the minds of others.

For these reasons it is essential that tourist behave appropriately when overseas. They should respect the law and customs of the places they visit, be friendly and fair to local people and develop a better understanding of the local culture.

Possible version 2:

President Xi advocated tourists to be civilized overseas. With the rapid development of China's tourism, Chinese tourists have received criticisms for behaving badly while travelling abroad. Therefore, the government has taken measures to control tourists' improper manners.

It is not uncommon to find tourists misbehaving everywhere. They speak loudly in public, carve characters on tourist attractions, cross the road when the traffic lights are still red, or spit anywhere.

Undoubtedly, such uncivilized behavior exerts unfavorable consequences. For one thing, it causes damage to scenic spots or cultural relics that are of great value. For another, improper manners may be a source of anger, possibly leading to quarrels or fights.

Therefore, it is urgent that we take measures to travel in a civilized way. To begin with, emphasis should be placed on educating citizens and improving their civilized quality. Moreover, the government is obliged to work out relevant rules and regulations to punish those who behave badly. In conclusion, spiritual civilization should go hand in hand with material civilization, thus civilized tourism should be advocated.
