The UK is becoming a popular destination for people who wish to study abroad.However,Britain is quite an expensive place to study and live in.Tuition fees are very high and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world.
Fortunately,there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programmes entirely in English,along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there.Here are three of the options.
Tianjin University
Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years.Living costs are only around ￡400 a month and tuition fees are around ￡2,300 a year.Flights will cost ￡3,600 over the four years.The total cost,at about ￡28,800,is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain.Tianjin is one of the world’s latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing.Three undergraduate programmes are offered in English:Chemical Engineering,Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.
University of Amsterdam
The Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in,but standard tuition fees of around ￡1,800 a year make it significantly cheaper than a British degree.There are 14 bachelor’s degrees on offer that are taught in English,including Political Science,Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science.Nearly all Dutch people speak English,making it an easy country to get by in.
University of Milan
The University of Milan’s fees range from ￡140 to ￡3,650 a year.The bachelor’s degree offered entirely in English—Political Science—is a three-year course.While living costs in Milan are high,the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.

A.￡14,400. B.￡27,750.
C.￡28,800. D.￡57,600.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The total cost,at about ￡28,800,is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain.”可知,在英国学习三年的花费大约是57,600英镑。故选D项。
2.Where can you major in Political Science

Natalie Trayling is a famous street artist in Melbourne.At first,those who happened to pass by her and spare some change didn’t even realise what the musical genius was playing.The emotional tune was not only masterfully played but also composed by Natalie herself when she was only 14.Gradually,as long as she appears,people will stop,absorbed in her music.Her music makes you think about calmness,the good things in life,and never giving up.
But what people do not know is that behind the beautiful music of the old woman,it is full of bitterness.At the age of 12,she won a music scholarship at Santa Maria College.At 15 she knocked back a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London because her parents couldn’t pay non-tuition costs.When she left school,she taught piano at Santa Maria.Later she met her husband,Denis.They had four children,but the two of them died.In 1984,Denis asked for a divorce.Natalie’s son,Nathan,was given medication for depression.Natalie lived either outdoors in Royal Park or in boarding houses for nine years.In late 2003 Natalie collapsed with anaemia(贫血) and was hospitalised for six months.
For half a century,Natalie has been teased by fate.But even so,she never gave up her love for music.When asked why music was so important to her,she said,“Music is everything.I do feel part of it.The whole world is music.”
When Natalie went on the Internet,she became a sign of Melbourne.People are impressed by her persistence in dreams and the optimism for life.Now she is no longer wandering around.She can play the piano at any time,but as long as the weather is good,she will walk to the streets of Melbourne,and play a touching melody for the rush of the city.
