What is the topic sentence
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.
首先,许多留学生面临着巨大的经济压力,这意味着并非每个人都能出国留学。国外的学费和生活开销比国内昂贵得多,大部分家庭最终可能要花费一大笔钱。而在中国读书则更加方便,而且省钱。
to begin with 首先

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.
需要考虑的另一个重要因素是留学带来的巨大压力。学生必须学会靠有限的语言技能在一个陌生的环境中生活。当学习如何在新环境中举止得体时,有些学生可能会感到吃力,并承受文化冲击的折磨。

Para 2
reason 1

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.
留学的第一个好处就是个人成长。你获得的教育和拥有的经历将有助于你提升自我。例如,由于你需要独自应对各种困难,你一定会变得更加独立。留学还有助于你获得全球视野,提升综合能力。

留学的另一个好处是获得更多文化交流的机会。中国留学生可被视为增进国际友谊的文化使者。在华的外国留学生也带来他们丰富多彩的文化。与来自不同文化背景的人合作有助于我们从不同视角看待世界,进而让我们对自己的文化有更深入的了解。

Is it necessary to study abroad
There are many advantages in studying abroad.
To begin with, students who have studied abroad can expose themselves to the language surroundings there, which is beneficial to learning the foreign language well.
In addition, they can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries, and at the same time broaden their horizions.
Last but not least, they can introduce Chinese culture to people all over the world.
出国留学有很多优势。
首先,在国外学习过的学生可以把自己暴露在那里的语言环境中,
此外,他们可以学到更多先进的科学和技术知识,从国外,并在同一时间扩大他们的视野。
这有利于学好外语。
最后但并非最不重要的是,他们可以向世界各地的人们介绍中国文化。
However, there are some disadvantages. Studying abroad means costing an arm and a leg, which may be a heavy burden for some families.
What's more, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick.
然而,也有一些缺点。出国留学意味着昂贵的费用,这对一些家庭来说可能是一个沉重的负担。
更重要的是,远离祖国,他们可能会感到孤独和想家。
As far as I'm concerned, studying abroad is a good idea.
Firstly, it can make the students more independent and learn to cooperate with others.
Another advantage is that they can make friends with people from all over the world.
另一个好处是他们可以和来自世界各地的人交朋友。
就我而言,出国留学是个好主意。
首先,它可以使学生更加独立,学会与他人合作。
