【参考范文】
Dear Editor,
I'm writing to tell you a discussion in our school about whether to study at home or abroad.
With the development of society,many people apply to study abroad at present. On the one hand,many people side with those (who are) studying abroad. As far as they are concerned,not only does being exposed to foreign cultures help to gain a global perspective, but also it strengthens language competence. On the other, there is no denying that studying abroad will cost an arm and a leg.Initially,people don't know how to behave themselves if they are not mature enough. Once feeling depressed,they will have no relatives or friends to comfort and motivate them. So they will have great difficulty making an adaptation to the unfamiliar surroundings.
As far as I know, whether to study abroad or not depends on what expectations you have of yourself.
Looking forward to knowing your opinion.
Yours,
Li Hua
