Start with a fact.
Paragraph 2:
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.
expense: the amount of money that you spend on something

Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment … Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Other students are not mature enough … and may become depressed. Some students might encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students.
behave: to do things in a particular way
mature: behaving in a sensible way, like an adult

Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoys promoting friendship between nations.
