【正确答案】With an increasing number of people studying overseas, the challenges of studying abroad are heatedly discussed. Here is my take on a few of the challenges.
   The very first challenge, obviously, is language. People usually need to learn another language and pass certain language exams before studying abroad. Learning another language can be difficult for many, and regardless of how long they have been studying, walls will arise in communication. The second challenge is culture. Many people are already aware of the issue of culture shock, an experience that results from the cultural differences between then" home country and the host country. People of the host country may do things differently and those studying abroad should make every effort to understand the local culture and those unwritten rules. Some other things that may turn out to be challenging include racial discrimination, financial issues and homesickness.
   For those who aspire to study abroad, I think it is important to be aware of these challenges and make full preparation in advance.

【答案解析】 题目要求考生就“出国留学的挑战”写一篇短文。根据题目要求，文章内容可安排如下：
   第一段：介绍越来越多的人选择出国留学这一社会趋势，由此引出到国外留学面临各种挑战的话题。

   随着越来越多的人去海外留学，出国留学的挑战正引发激烈的讨论。以下是我对其中一些挑战的看法。
   很显然，第一个挑战是语言。人们在出国留学前通常需要学习另一种语言并通过特定的语言考试。学习另一种语言对许多人来说可能很难，而且不管他们已经学了多久，交流中仍会出现障碍。第二个挑战是文化。许多人已经意识到文化冲击的问题，这是由本国和东道国之间的文化差异带来的一种体验。东道国的人处事方式可能不同，出国留学的人需要尽一切努力理解当地文化和那些不成文的规定。此外，包括种族歧视、经济问题和思乡之情在内的其他问题可能也颇具挑战性。
   对于那些想要出国留学的人来说，我认为意识到这些挑战并且提前做好充分的准备很重要。
