Studying Abroad
Attending school abroad has many advantages. In the first place,by looking at our own country from the outside,we can best see the strong points of our nation,and therefore wid-en our vision and broaden our minds. Secondly,while studying in a foreign country,we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people.
However,as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier. Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not have adequate proficiency in the language spoken there.
As a result,on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs and way of life of the local people, they may conStantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the whole, it is good to go and study abroad particularly when the subject is very weak or not available in our country. But on the other hand ,one must not lose sight of the disadvantages.
