B C Letter from Wang Li (mother of twin girls Main point Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater. Reasons Great economic pressure. The tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. While studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to! adj. 巨大的,极大的 Letter from Zhang Yi (father of one boy) Main point Reasons There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. Personal growth. The increased chance for cultural exchange. It provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland. Is it necessary to study abroad? There are many advantages in studying abroad. To begin with, students who have studied abroad can expose themselves to the language surroundings there, which is beneficial to learning the foreign language well. In addition, they can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries, and at the same time broaden their horizions. Last but not least, they can introduce Chinese culture to people all over the world. However, there are some disadvantages. Studying abroad means costing an arm and a leg, which may be a heavy burden for some families. What's more, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. As far as I'm concerned, studying abroad is a good idea. Firstly, it can make the students more independent and learn to cooperate with others. Another advantage is that they can make friends with people from all over the world.

Then mark the reasons for their opinions. P20 1 main point main point 1 2 3 1 2 3 reasons reasons In the past few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people studying abroad. Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater. 过去几十年里，出国留学的人数急剧增长。虽然出国留学能带来很多好处，但我认为对年轻人来说是弊大于利。 in/over /during the past /last few decades 过去几十年里 作时间状语 句子要使用现在完成时态 类似的时间状语：recently; so far; up to now; until now; since then 等 a dramatic increase in... 在某方面的急剧增长 studying abroad 出国留学 作后置定语 但第二句中的studying abroad 作主语 there be 句型现在完成时 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. 首先，许多留学生面临着巨大的经济压力，这意味着并非每个人都能出国留学。国外的学费和生活开销比国内昂贵得多，大部分家庭最终可能要花费一大笔钱。而在中国读书则更加方便，而且省钱。 to begin with 首先 =to start with; first of all ; firstly end up doing 以做...结束 end up with sth 以...结束（方式） cost an arm and a leg 花一大笔钱 动名词作主语 学费和生活费 Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. 需要考虑的另一个重要因素是留学带来的巨大压力。学生必须学会靠有限的语言技能在一个陌生的环境中生活。当学习如何在新环境中举止得体时，有些学生可能会感到吃力，并承受文化冲击的折磨。 定语从句 疑问词+to do作宾语 遭受文化冲击 不定式作后置定语 Other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students.另一些学生则还不够成熟，无法独立应付各种挑战，因而感到沮丧。有些学生甚至会遭遇人身安全问题。此外，不同的教和学的方式对很多学生来说也是一种冲击。 handle the challenge 应对挑战 in addition 另外 an approach to (doing)sth 做某事的方法 be+adj+enough to do 足够...做某事 A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to! 最后要考虑的一点是: 尽管留学的确有许多潜在的好处，但是在国内读书的年轻人同样未来可期! 助动词 do does did +动词原形 表示强调 He did look tired. 他的确看起来很累。 I do study hard. 我的确努力了。 Paragraph 4: A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to! As China has boomed, the educational environment has improved significantly, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country. Read for details Para.4 Body Reason 3 Evidence strengthen: to become stronger Para5:To sum up, one cannot deny the fact( that studying abroad has its disadvantages), so when you think about studying abroad you should consider these many factors. 综上所述，我们无法否认的事实是:留学有其弊端。因此当你想要海外求学时，应当考虑上述诸多因素。 to sum up 总之 = in summary; to conclude; in a word; all in all 同位语从句 Every coin has two sides. Read the second letter, and tell us what’s Zhang Yi’s opinion? 就我而言 对勇敢、乐观、愿意拼搏 的人来说，世上无难事。 Read the second letter and find some details to support the writer’s opinion. The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth.The education you gain and the experiences you have will change you for the better.For example,you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal with all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general competence. Para.2 Body Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange.Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoy promoting friendship between nations.International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here.Cooperating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight into our own culture. 增加的 被认为是... 现在分词短语作定语 现在分词短语作主语 Para.3 Body Finally,studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland.China's global outlook,with projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative,has helped us make connections across the world. Therefore,China needs more talented young people with a global perspective who are highly competent with languages have leadership and organisational skills,and have strong cultural awareness. Students who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities,and these in turn will provide them with better career opportunities. 一带一路 组织的 意识 反过来 Para.4 Body All in all, studying abroad helps to build character and increase people's understanding of cultural diversity while strengthening China and building a shared future for all.I think this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile and I hope my child will study abroad in the future.
