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.
过去几十年里，出国留学的人数急剧增长。虽然出国留学能带来很多好处，但我认为对年轻人来说是弊大于利。

STUDYING ABROAD: IS IT A GOOD OR BAD IDEA

fact
main point
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。

What is the topic sentence
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.
tremendous pressure 巨大的压力 behave vt. 表现; vi&vt 表现得体,有礼貌
culture shock 文化冲击 behavior n.行为,举止,态度
handle the challenges 应对挑战 behave yourself 有礼貌;有规矩
encounter problems 遇到问题 mature adj. 成熟的
In addition 另外 maturity n.成熟,完备 maturation n.成熟
an approache to (doing) sth. mature into sth. 使...成熟,充分发展
做某事的方法 mature consideration 深思熟虑
Para 3
surround v.围绕;包围
surrounding adj.周围的;附近的
surroundings n.环境;周围的事物
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。另一些学生则还不够成熟，无法独立应付各种挑战，因而感到沮丧。有些学生甚至会遭遇人身安全问题。此外，不同的教和学的方式对很多学生来说也是一种冲击。

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.
最后要考虑的一点是:尽管留学的确有许多潜在的好处，但是在国内读书的年轻人同样未来可期!随着中国的蓬勃发展，教育环境己大为改观，现在有许多优秀的大学。它们拥有一流的设施和杰出的教授，助力培养为经济作贡献、进步增强我国实力的年轻人。

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!
留学是个好主意还是坏主意呢 留学当然有其弊端，但我认为利大于弊。我时常告诚我儿子，对勇敢、乐观、愿意拼搏的人来说，世上无难事!

question
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。
Para 2
gain vt.获得;赢得;取得
n.好处;增加
deal with 处理;对付
global perspective 全球视野
competence n.能力;胜任;本领
competent adj.有能力的;称职的
general competence 综合能力

Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoy 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.
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。

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.
contribute to 为...做贡献 be competent with 具有某方面的能力
global outlook 全球前景 organisational skills 组织能力 initiative n.倡议;新方案 in turn 反过来说;转而
the Belt and Road Initiative provide sb. with sth.
“一带一路”倡议 =provide sth. for sb. 提供某人某物

最后，留学是为祖国的发展作出贡献的好机会。中国“一带一路”倡议等项目的全球前景帮助我们与世界建立联系。因此，中国需要更多有才能、有国际视野、语言能力极强具有领导力和组织能力、拥有强烈文化意识的年轻人。出国留学生将培养这些技能，而这些技能反过来又将为他们提供更好的就业机会。

Task 7
1.What are some other advantages or disadvantages of studying abroad that were not mentioned in the letters
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
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.
Task 7
2.Which parent would you probably side with Why
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
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.
