留学:好主意,还是坏主意?
尊敬的编辑:
过去几十年里,留学人数急剧增长。尽管留学大有裨益但我认为,留学对年轻人来说是弊大于利。
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有留学的可能。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,还能省钱。
需要考虑的另一个重要因素是留学所带来的巨大压力。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在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,另一些学生则还不够成熟,无法独立应付各种挑战,因而感到苦闷。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。
最后要考虑的一点是:尽管留学有诸多潜在的益处,但是在中国读书的年轻人同样未来可期!随着中国的蓬勃发展,教育环境已大为改观,优质大学比比化皆是。这些高校拥有一流的设施和杰出的教授,助力培养为经济作贡献、进一步增强我国实力的年轻人。
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。
致问候!

Post-reading
Discuss with your partners about the following questions.
1. What are some other advantages or disadvantages of studying abroad that were not mentioned in the letters?
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.
Watch and say
Do you think it’s necessary to study abroad? Why or why not?
