Read para.1 of Wang Li’s letter and answer the question.

In the past few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people studying abroad. Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater.
Para.1 Introduction
Start with a fact
State an opinion
Read 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 1
Evidence
Read 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.
Evidence
Reason 2
Read 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!

They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country.

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.
Sample
By 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.
Sample
Finally, 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 Ping
