A
The following are opinions some students in a social media group . They talk about whether it is good to study abroad after finishing high school.
I don’t think it is a good idea for junior high students to study abroad. Teenage time is
good period for us to develop our own values. We still cannot tell what is right or wrong well. Lots of students may get lots and forget about their main work— study.
— Jack
I always want to study abroad in the UK because I think it is much better to experience a totally different culture by ourselves. Although we may learn about it
from textbooks or on the Internet, it will not leave a deep impression on us.
—Amy
Studying abroad is surely a good way to improve our English. We learn to read,
listen and speak English in China. However, most of us still cannot speak English well because most of the time we speak Chinese . If we can study in English-speaking countries, such as Britain, America and Canada, it will be much more convenient and effective (更有效的).
