Using Language
Express your opinion on studying abroad
Learning objectives
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
1. learn and understand some new words and phrases, such as strengthen, optimistic and side with;
2. read two letters about studying abroad to find main points and supporting reasons;
3. learn about the feature of the argumentative essay;
4. write a letter to express your opinions on studying abroad.
In recent years, more and more students choose to study abroad. Do you think it’s necessary to study abroad Why or why not
Lead-in
Pre-writing
Dear Editor,
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.
Main point
A local newspaper has invited parents to share their opinions about studying
abroad. Read these two letters and underline each writer’s main points. Then mark the reasons for their opinions.
1
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.
Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students.
Reason 1
Reason 2
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! As China has boomed, the educational environment has improved significantly, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country.
To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad, you should consider these many factors.
Kind regards,
Wang Li (mother of twin girls)
Reason 3
Dear Editor,
Is studying abroad a good idea or not There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great difficulties for a person who is brave, optimistic, and willing to work hard!
The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth. The education you gain and the experiences you have will change you for the better. For example, you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal with all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general competence.
Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoys promoting friendship between nations. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. Cooperating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight into our own culture.
Main point
Reason 1
Reason 2
2
Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland. China’s global outlook, with projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative, has helped us make connections across the world. Therefore, China needs more talented young people with a global perspective who are highly competent with languages, have leadership and organisational skills, and have strong cultural awareness. Students who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities, and these in turn will provide them with better career opportunities.
All in all, studying abroad helps to build character and increase people’s understanding of cultural diversity while strengthening China and building a shared future for all. I think this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile, and I hope my child will study abroad in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Zhang Yi (father of one boy)
Reason 3
Read the letters again and then use the connectors in the box to rewrite the
sentences below.
1. Students who want to study abroad must consider their parents’ budget. They should think about whether they can afford the costs of studying overseas.
as a result besides for instance that is to say

4. Global development strategies help to make connections between China and the rest of the world. Young people with language skills and strong cultural awareness are needed.
Global development strategies help to make connections between China and the rest of the world. As a result, young people with language skills
and strong cultural awareness are needed.
1. What are some other advantages or disadvantages of studying abroad that were not mentioned in the letters
Discuss the following questions with your partners.
One disadvantage of studying abroad is that not all students are suited to it. Some students will never gain the needed language ability or may not get the most from an unfamiliar teaching approach. One advantage of studying abroad is the opportunity to meet new lifelong friends from different cultural backgrounds.
2. Which parent would you probably side with Why
I would probably side with Zhang Yi because I think Wang Li’s perspective is too narrow. Yes, there are possible disadvantages with studying abroad, but Chinese students are smart and strong enough to overcome these. Meanwhile, the rewards for studying abroad are much greater than any of the disadvantages.
Analyse the argumentative letters.
Use connectors
When you write an argumentative piece, use connecting phrases to lead readers through your process of reasoning. Good logical connectors will help your audience understand your point of view, whether they agree with you or not!
1. Mark the parts of the argument in the letters.
A. Start with a question or a fact.
B. State an opinion.
C. Give reasons and evidence to support an opinion.
