Dear Jackson,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion, which I hope will be of some help to you. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of teenagers studying abroad. Although it is a big challenge, personally I think studying abroad is still a valuable experience for us.
To begin with, exposure to a foreign language surroundings while we are studying abroad makes learning process engaging and effective. Moreover, bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into/gain a better understanding of the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective. Studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better, which is the most important from my perspective.
To sum up, I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life with all things considered
Yours,
Li Hua
