Studying Abroad

Recent years have witnessed an increasing number of young students who want to go abroad for further study. Each year, a considerable number of them fly to foreign countries to study, especially to highly developed countries such as America, Britain, Australia, Canada, Germany and Japan.
The possible reasons for the fever of studying abroad may be attributed to its advantages. First of all, living in a foreign country where the language is spoken, we can get more chances to learn and improve our foreign language and do so more quickly and easily. Second. studying abroad takes us to a completely different language and cultural environment in which we can enlarge our vision and widen our scope of knowledge. For instance, we may get firsthand knowledge of the customs and the people of the native culture. Furthermore, in a highly developed country, we can learn and acquire advanced science and technology.
But still going abroad to study has some disadvantages that cannot be ignored. For example, we have to pay high tuition and living expenses. And living in a completely different culture in which we have no friends and relatives, we may often suffer from a sense of loneliness. Therefore, we should hold an objective attitude towards the issue.
As far as I am concerned, we should hold reasonable attitude towards studying abroad. We should learn to use what we have learned to make contribution to the development of our country.
