Going to work abroad: an exciting opportunity or a scary one? (Homework) Today nearly 5 percents of belorussian working-age population go to work abroad. It is not an exact number of people because our government counts just formal employed people or people who asked for help with work abroad. It is a horrible statistic for our small country. Work abroad has a lot of advantages for the Belarusians. The main advantage is that they can get appropriate salary for their work. Another advantage is getting a better living environment. Furthermore, if you go to country which uses a different language you can get a lot of practice with this language. On the other hand work abroad has a lot of disadvantages. Some people don't get their salary after they have done their work. Some people live in disgusting or terrible conditionings. You have to take these risks if you want to go to work abroad. In conclusion, work abroad has both advantages and disadvantages. Whether it suits you or not depends on your personality, social skills and ability to adapt to difficulties.
