Dear David,
Hearing that you get the chance to study abroad, I feel so proud of you. Frankly, I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes learning process interesting and effective. Moreover, bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world. Finally, studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better, which is the most important in my view.
All things considered, it is definitely worthwhile to study abroad as an exchange student. I really hope you don’t miss the opportunity!
Yours,
Li Hua
