Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater.Para.1 IntroductionStart with a factState an opinionRead para.2 of Wang Li’s letter and answer the question.Paragraph 2:To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. Tuition fees and living expenses 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.Reason 1EvidenceRead para.3 of Wang Li’s letter and answer the question.Paragraph 3:Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment … Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Other students are not mature enough … and may become depressed. Some students might encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students.EvidenceReason 2Read para.4 of Wang Li’s letter and answer the question.Paragraph 4:A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to! As China has boomed, the educational environment has improved significantly, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country.EvidenceReason 3Read para.5 of Wang Li’s letter and answer the question.Paragraph 5:To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad, you should consider these many factors.Draw a conclusionLetter 1paragraphLetter 212345The disadvantages are greater.The advantages are much greater.great economic pressurepersonal growthtremendous pressure:great future for young people studying in Chinachance for cultural exchangecontribute to the developmentof our motherlandIntroducingthe topicconclusionFactQuestionshould consider the disadvantagesThis life-changing experienceis worthwhilemain pointsreason 1reason 2reason 303WritingHow to write an argumentative essayPara.1 IntroductionStart with a factState an opinionPara.2 Argument 1Reason 1EvidencePara.5 ConclusionDraw a conclusionPara.3 Argument 2Para.4 Argument 3Reason 2EvidenceReason 3Evidence写作积累一、表达个人观点In my opinion 在我看来 In my view 在我看来From my perspective 从我的角度来看 I think 我认为I believe 我相信 To my mind 依我看As far as I'm concerned 就我而言 Personally 就个人而言It seems to me that 在我看来 ;我觉得I'd like to point out 我想指出From my standpoint - 从我的立场来看二、总结In summary 总之 In conclusion 最后;综上所述To sum up 总而言之 Overall 总体而言In brief 简而言之 To conclude 最后;结论是In a nutshell 概括地说(非正式)三、重述In other words 换句话说 That is to say 也就是说To put it another way 换一种方式说 What I mean is 我的意思是写作积累三、列举First(ly), Second(ly), Third(ly)... 第一,第二,第三……Last but not least 最后但同样重要的是To begin/start with 首先 Next 接下来Then 然后 Finally 最后Additionally 此外 Furthermore 此外;而且Moreover 而且;此外 In addition 另外Also 也;还 Besides 除此之外写作积累四、原因与结果Because 因为 Since 由于;既然 As 因为Due to 因为 Owing to 由于(较正式)Because of 因为 The reason for... is …… 的原因是So 所以 Therefore 因此 Thus 因此Hence 因此 As a result 结果 Consequently 结果;因此Lead to 导致 Result in 导致The cause of... is... …… 的原因是……The effect/consequence of... is... …… 的结果 / 影响是……写作积累五、例证For example 例如 For instance 例如(更正式)Take... as an example 以…… 为例A classic example is... 一个典型的例子是……A notable case is... 一个值得注意的案例是……Perhaps the most obvious example is... 最明显的例子或许是……Such as 例如(列举多个)写作积累Write a letter to the editor expressing your own opinions about studying abroad.Dear Editor,Many people ask the question, “Why study abroad After all, there are many great universities and schools in China that attract great professors both local and foreign.” I think that while this is true, this gets things slightly wrong. The question isn’t that people think the quality of their local university is not adequate, but rather how studying abroad helps and benefits the individuals in their own study and career plans.SampleBy studying abroad, Chinese students get a better understanding of other cultures and countries, and learn to see themselves as global citizens. As a result, they can better understand China’s place in the world and how they can contribute to world peace and development.In addition, overseas students can learn cross - cultural communication skills, which will help them understand how they can participate on the world stage. There are so many places in the world with hurting, needy people. With such skills and knowledge, they can better lend them a helping hand.SampleFinally, when our students return home, they can share their experience with others. There is a wide open world which they can contribute to, but only if they first learn about people from other countries, and their struggles and challenges.In conclusion, the best way to get is by giving, and the easiest way to be loved is by loving others. I hope everyone will agree that there is a wonderful world out there which can be made better by our presence, but they need to learn how they can contribute and help, and they can best do this through student exchange.Best regards,Liu PingSample04Assessing Your ProgressRewrite the sentences with the correct forms of the words or phrases in brackets.1 He is still too young to know how to act and talk on such occasions.
