Why? One disadvantage of studying abroad is that not all students are suited to it. Some students will never gain the needed language ability or may not get the most from an unfamiliar teaching approach. One advantage of studying abroad is the opportunity to meet new lifelong friends from different cultural backgrounds. I would probably side with Zhang Yi because I think Wang Li’s perspective is too narrow. Yes, there are possible disadvantages with studying abroad, but Chinese students are smart and strong enough to overcome these. Meanwhile, the rewards for studying abroad are much greater than any of the disadvantages. ♚ 21 Divide into two big groups (pros and cons) to discuss the following issue. • Is it a good or bad idea to study abroad?

Dear Editor, 　　In recent years, more and more teenagers have decided or even gone to study abroad. Although it is a big challenge, personally I think studying abroad is still a valuable experience for us. First of all, our potential abilities will get well developed. People always try their best to deal with the problems when in trouble or in face of challenges. Secondly, as an old Chinese saying goes, “Travelling 10,000 miles is better than reading 10,000 books.” What’s more, studying abroad combines the two beneficial activities. Finally, we will never understand how sweet our home is until we leave it. All in all, as the speed-up of globalisation, Chinese have more opportunities than ever to study abroad. So let’s walk out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves in a wider world. Best regards, Li Hua ♚ 23 Step III 迁移创新 Exchange your draft with a partner and use the checklist to help you revise each other’s draft.

Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular among students. But people have different opinions about whether mobile phones should be allowed at school or not. Everything has two sides and the mobile phone is not an exception. It has both advantages and disadvantages. Some students hold the opinion that they should take their mobile phones to school, which bring them convenience. First, they can learn about the world and the latest information in time. Second, it’s convenient for them to communicate with their parents and friends. Moreover, they can surf the Internet at anytime and anywhere to get the message they want to know. However, others are against using phones at school, as they think students get addicted to phones easily, especially playing online games. Spending too much time on phones has bad effect on their study, which may also influence their sleep and does harm to their eyesight. As far as I am concerned, middle school students have a weak self-control, and the mobile phone does more harm than good, so it shouldn’t be allowed at school. ♚ 27 谢谢观看 Thank you Lavf58.20.100 $
