On Hot Destinations for Studying Abroad

   In recent years, studying abroad has been a very popular choice for Chinese students. According to the statistics in the chart, we can come to a conclusion that West Europe, North America and Australia are the hot destinations, among which America is the top one, followed by Australia and Canada.
   A number of factors may have given rise to this situation. One of the most common factors is that these destinations are rich developed countries. Students can not only enjoy the high quality education but also obtain internationally famous academic degrees. Apart from that, through analysis we can see that English-speaking countries are the most popular. That's why students who have chosen America, Australia and Canada are in high proportion. Considering all the above factors, it is understandable that students prefer to study abroad, especially in developed English-speaking countries like America, Canada and so on.
   In the end, I would like to emphasize the importance of national development, especially in higher education. If our higher education is good enough, we may attract more foreign students to China too.
