Sample letter
Dear Editor,
Nowadays, whether to study abroad is a heated topic. Surely, there are various chellenges and potential problems exchange students may encounter, including highly-required academic tasks, distinct life style and so on. However, I still believe there are more advantages than disadvantages to study abroad.
By studying abroad, students could learn much more advanced knowledge about science and technology from other countries. As a result, they can better understand China’s place in the world and how they can better contribute to the development their homeland. Besides, being in a native environment is beneficial for them to learn foreign language quickly and conveniently. Especially important is that they will also act as mediators between people of different cultures, devoting themselves to make the world more peaceful.
To sum up, studying abroad do have a plenty of benefits.
Best regards,
Li Hua
