Activity 4 Discuss the following questions with your partner.
1．What are some other advantages or disadvantages of studying abroad that were not mentioned in the letters
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.
Activity 5 Analyse the argumentative letters

Dear Editor，
In recent years，more and more teenagers have decided or even gone to study abroad. Although it is a big challenge，personally I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad，which is a valuable experience for us.
To begin with，exposure to a foreign language learning environment while we are studying abroad makes the learning process engaging and effective. Moreover，bathed in a different culture of a foreign country，we can gain great insights into 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.
All things considered，I believe studying abroad is a good idea.
Yours，

【参考范文】 Should mobile phones be allowed at school
Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular among middle school students. But people have different opinions about whether mobile phones should be allowed at school or not.
Everything has two sides and mobile phone is not an exception, it has both advantages and disadvantages. Some students hold the opinion that they should take their mobile phones to school, which bring them conveniences. First, they can learn about the world and the latest information in time. Second, it’s convenient for them to communicate with their parents and friends. Moreover, they can surf the Internet at any time in anywhere to get the message they want to know. However, others are against using phones at school, as they think students get addicted to phones easily, especially playing online games. Spending too much time on phones has bad effect on their study, which may also influences their sleep and does harm to their eyesight.
As far as I am concerned, middle school students have a weak self-control, mobile phone does more harm than good, so it shouldn’t be allowed at school.
