2.Do you want to study abroad Why (Creative Thinking创造性思维)
Yes. Studying abroad is a good opportunity to experience different cultures, which is helpful in broadening our horizons. It is beneficial for us to foster our perseverance and the ability to live independently. Also, there is no denying that some foreign technologies are advanced, so we can learn more in foreign countries and develop ourselves better.
No. Studying abroad also brings about challenges. We may have difficulty in adapting to the new environment. Having lived in China for many years, we may feel uncomfortable adjusting to foreign learning methods and ways of life. Besides, it will cost a lot of money for living and tuition, so not every student’s family can afford it.
2.Do you want to study abroad Why (Creative Thinking创造性思维)
As to the school life, we can work together to enrich it. But you’d better try to adapt to it.
Therefore,the responsibility bestowed by the times falls on nobody but us youth. (故今日之责任,不在他人,而全在少年)
