Nowadays, studying abroad is becoming more and more popular in China. Many parents send their children abroad instead of letting them receive (1)
education
at home.
There are many advantages for a student to study abroad. First, he can use the foreign language in his everyday life so that his ability to use the second language may be greatly (2)
improved
. While studying in a foreign country, he will meet many students from abroad and it is much (3)
easier
to make friends with them. Also, he can get familiar with the latest knowledge in different fields. In this way, there is every chance that he is (4)
able
to widen his horizons (眼界) and broaden his mind.
Of course, studying abroad may (5)
bring
a lot of problems. The most serious one is the language barrier (障礙). Most of the students who go abroad don't have (6)
enough
language skills to communicate effectively. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand (7)
what
the teachers say. Moreover, they don't know the customs (風(fēng)俗) of local people very well, so they may have (8)
difficulty
dealing with some situations.
Therefore, one must think of both sides carefully before making a (9)
decision
. The place where you study is not very important, but the desire (渴望) to learn (10)
matters
the most.
