Answer 1

Dear Li Fang,
I’m writing to you to share my opinions with you on studying abroad.
Attending schools abroad has many advantages. In the first place, we can widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Thirdly, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our proficiency in the language may be improved quickly.
However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier. Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not have adequate proficiency in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying, Besides, due to lack of knowledge of the customs and ways of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in your country.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the whole, it is a good thing to go and study abroad, particularly when the subject is very weak or not available in your country. I hope my suggestions will help you make a good decision.
Yours,
Jack
