Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries. According to a recent research among 428 middle school students in Shanghai, nearly half of them would like to study abroad.
"Chinese children go abroad to get a wider view, family honor(荣誉) or even less competition of high school entrance examinations, "said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who has lived in the US for 16 years. "But life in foreign countries is hard for young people."
"We have to face the very different cultures and language problems, "said Hong Guang, a Chinese student in London.

Instead, She encouraged me and told me that if I didn’t do well in English, I will face many difficulties in the future. From then on, I began to study hard. I really thank my English teacher.
