Advantages and Disadvantages of Studying Abroad
In recent years,studying abroad has been popular.As far as I am concerned,despite its disadvantages,studying abroad can bring great benefits to young people.
For students,there are many advantages of studying abroad.First of all,being fully exposed to a foreign language contributes to learning it well.Additionally,equipped with more knowledge,they can serve our country and the society better.However,there are also disadvantages.Studying abroad sometimes means costing an arm and a leg,which puts much economic pressure on their families.Furthermore,being far away from motherland may make them feel lonely and homesick.
In summary,studying abroad is advisable.Not only can it make students more competent but it can also stimulate the spread of Chinese culture.

Dear Editor,
Nowadays,more and more students study abroad at a younger age,which causes widespread concern.As we all know,going to study abroad is a good thing,which helps students broaden their horizons.
However,I don't think it's necessary for them to do that too early.For one thing,going to study abroad at an early age may cost most families an arm and a leg.For another,some students may not be mature enough to handle the pressure of living in an unfamiliar environment,thus resulting in physical and mental health problems.
As far as I am concerned,studying abroad has its potential benefits but families should think twice if their kids are too young.
Yours,
Li Hua
Ⅱ 读后续写
[对应学生用书P67]
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
They Don't Mean It
Our family moved here from China two years ago,and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways.This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well.Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods.After the dinner,they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes.You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work!” Mrs.O'Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I'm sorry they did such a terrible job,” said Mother.
I heard a little gasp(倒吸气) from my friend Kim O'Meara,who stared wide-eyes at Mother.When I asked what the matter was,she told me she just didn't understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh.“She doesn't mean it! It's just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look,I went on explaining,“In China,parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children.Otherwise,it would be the same as bragging.” Kim seemed a little hesitant,but she nodded anyway.
On a weekend,the O'Mearas invited our family for dinner.Mrs.O'Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot.As Mrs.O'Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert,Mother said,“I'm not sure if I can eat one more bite.That was the best ham I've ever tasted!”
“Aw,that ham was terrible,” said Kim.“I bet you could do a lot better,Mrs.Yang.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
There was a stunned(震惊的) silence around the table.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
[巧读文]
1.读要素
Who:Kim O'Meara(my friend),Mrs.O'Meara(Kim's mother),my mother,I
Where:at home
What:Cultural differences brought embarrassment.
2.读双线(情节线、情感线)
情节线:
My parents gave a party on Chinese New Year and invited some of our American friends ...
“The girls helped with the cutting and I'm sorry they did such a terrible job,”said Mother.
The O'Mearas invited our family for dinner ...
情感线:amazed→surprised and confused→modest
[妙构思]
1.读首句,定方向
Paragraph 1:
由续写第一段首句“There was a stunned silence around the table.”可知,大家对Kim说的话感到震惊,餐桌上的人陷入了尴尬的沉默。由此可推知第一段可描写大家对Kim说的话表示震惊以及大家的反应。续写第二段首句“I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.”提到“我”终于知道Kim是怎么误解“我”说的话的了,可知第一段后半段要描写Kim所做的解释。
Paragraph 2:
由续写第二段首句“I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.”可知,该段首先要描写“我”就中国文化中这一现象给Kim做出的解释;结合文章标题和上文提到的内容可知,文章结局可描述大家明白了这是中西文化差异带来的尴尬,误会最终消除。
2.巧设问,定细节
Paragraph 1:
(1)What did Mrs.O'Meara do?
stared_at_Kim/_...
(2)How did Mrs.O'Meara feel?
embarrassed/_...
(3)What did “I” do then?
asked_why/_...
(4)What did Kim say?
just_trying_to_act_modestly/_...
Paragraph 2:
(1)What did “I” do?
explained_the_cultural_differences/_...
(2)How did Kim feel?
shy/ashamed/_...
(3)What did Kim do?
apologized_for_her_impolite_behaviour/_...
(4)What did Mrs.O'Meara say?
We_know_you_didn't_mean_it!/_...
[雕句式]
根据提示升级下列句子
1.Mrs.O'Meara's face reddened with embarrassment.Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs.O'Meara.
→Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs.O'Meara,whose_face_reddened_with_embarrassment.
(非限制性定语从句)
2.When Kim heared this,she sighed deeply,and her cheeks flushed.
→Hearing_this,Kim sighed deeply,and her cheeks flushed.(分词作状语)
3.They soon dispelled the awkward silence as they erased the misunderstanding.
→The awkward silence was_soon_dispelled as the misunderstanding was_erased.(被动语态)

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
There was a stunned(震惊的) silence around the table. Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs.O'Meara,whose face reddened with embarrassment.I was also shocked at my friend's mean remark.Clearing my throat,I finally asked,“What made you talk like that to your mother?” Kim whirled around,seemingly furious.“But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging!” she stuttered.“I was just trying to act modestly!”
Paragraph 2:
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.“Listen,Kim,” I took her hands in mine to calm her down,“Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.” Hearing this,Kim sighed deeply,her cheeks flushed.The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased.Drooping her head,Kim apologized for her impolite behaviour.Mrs.O'Meara winked at her,joking,“That's all right.We know you didn't mean it!”
