STUDYING ABROAD= IS IT A GOOD OR A BAD IDEA
Dear Editor,
In the past few decades, there has been a dramatic dr 'm t k急剧 increase in the number of people studying abroad. Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater.
出国留学=这是个好主意还是个坏主意？
亲爱的编辑,
在过去的几十年里，出国留学的人数急剧增加。虽然出国留学可以带来很大的好处，但我认为对年轻人来说坏处更大。

Para 2
To begin with, many students who study abroad face面临 great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. Tuition fees and living expenses k'spens费用 are much more expensive than at home and could end up costing most families an arm and a leg. Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save money.
首先，许多出国留学的学生面临巨大的经济压力。这意味着并不是每个人都能出国留学。学费和生活费比在国内贵得多，最终可能会花掉大多数家庭一大笔钱。在中国学习更方便，可以帮助省钱。

Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an
unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock冲击 when learning how to behave b 'hev表现 in new surroundings. Other students are not mature m 't 成熟 enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed抑郁. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches方法 to teaching and learning may come as a shock震惊 to many students.
另一个需要考虑的重要因素是出国留学带来的巨大压力。学生必须学会如何在语言技能有限的陌生环境中生活。有些人在学习如何在新环境中表现时可能会遇到文化冲击。其他学生还不够成熟，无法独自应对挑战，可能会变得抑郁。一些学生甚至可能会遇到人身安全问题。此外，不同的教学方法可能会使许多学生感到震惊。

They have great facilities f s l tiz设施 and outstanding优秀的 professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen 'stre θn增强 our country.
最后一点需要考虑的是，虽然出国留学确实有潜在的好处，但在中国学习的年轻人也有一个美好的未来!随着中国的蓬勃发展，教育环境有了显著改善，现在有了许多优秀的大学。他们有很好的设施和优秀的教授，帮助教育年轻人，他们将为经济做出贡献，进一步增强我国实力。

Para 6
Dear Editor,
Is studying abroad a good idea or not There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great dif culties for a person who is brave, optimistic ɑpt 'm st k乐观, and willing to work hard!
亲爱的编辑,
出国留学到底好不好 当然有缺点，但在我看来，优点要多得多。就像我经常告诉我儿子的，对于一个勇敢、乐观、愿意努力的人来说，没有什么大不了的困难!
Para 7
The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth. The education you gain ɡen获得 and the experiences you have will change you for the better. For example, you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal with all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective视野 and improve your general综合 competence kɑmp t ns能力.
出国留学的第一个好处是个人成长。你获得的教育和你的经历会让你变得更好。例如，你肯定会变得更加独立，因为你将不得不自己处理各种各样的困难。出国留学还可以帮助你获得全球视野，提高你的综合能力。
Para 8
Another advantage is the increased增加了 chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoys使者 promoting friendship between nations. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. Cooperating k ' p re t合作 with people from diverse(different) cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles gl角度 and thus gives us more insight了解 into our own culture.
另一个好处是增加了文化交流的机会。中国学生可以被视为促进国家间友谊的文化使者。在中国的留学生也把他们丰富多彩的文化带到这里。与来自不同文化背景的人合作有助于我们从不同的角度看世界，从而使我们对自己的文化有更多的了解。
Para 8
and thus从而
She forgot to turn on the radio and thus missed the programme.
He was still a boy and thus required his fathers approval准许.
Sex education is a sensitive area for some parents, and thus it should remain optional.
Para 9
Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland. China’s global outlook视野, with projects such as the Belt belt带 and Road Initiative 'n t v倡议, has helped us make connections across the world. Therefore, China needs more talented young people with a global perspective who are highly competent k mp t nt with能力强 languages, have leadership and organisational skills组织能力, and have strong cultural awareness意识. Students who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities, and these in turn反过来 will provide them with better career就业 opportunities.
最后，出国留学为祖国的发展提供了一个很好的机会。中国的全球视野，通过“一带一路”倡议等项目，帮助我们与世界各地建立联系。因此，中国需要更多具有全球视野、语言能力强、具有领导和组织能力、文化意识强的优秀青年。出国留学的学生将会发展这些技能和能力，而这些技能和能力反过来又会给他们提供更好的就业机会。
Para 10
All in all总而言之, studying abroad helps to build塑造 character品格 and increase people’s understanding of cultural diversity多样性 while strengthening China and building a shared future for all构建人类命运共同体. I think this life人生-changing experience is certainly worthwhile值得的, and I hope my child will study abroad in the future.
