IELTS Writing task 2: the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad, what do you think? Studying abroad for higher education has becoming more and more acceptable, some think this is lucrative but others argue that there are some drawbacks as well. The two sides would be discussed and i will give my opinion. I agree that studying abroad is lucrative, and i am the one who decide to go abroad for the higher quality education. For the advantages of go abroad which be considered by many people, firstly, that is they know that foreign courses have very human settings. At my countries, high school students should study hard for years to get a good transcript and finally make a universities applying order sheet. The order sheet is very important as if students choose B university, they can not choose A university at the same time. Furthermore, after high school students finish GAOKAO, and they don’t know about how much scores they get, the universities applying order sheet should be filled out while they don’t know if they are suitable for their chosen universities. Fortunately, high schools have responsibility of teaching students how to choose their universities. Majority of people would like to study abroad, but minority of them can actually go out from their countries because of the disadvantages of study abroad. The first one is, it costs a lot for living on a developed countries, tuition fees as a international students that usually triple higher than the locals. The second is, most of them must go through the culture shock. Even though they usually travel to the developed countries and already learn the local culture, however, studying is different from traveling. Studying at there require more patient that students have to get along with the locals for one years or years, the small habits of the locals, diary conversation, some unexpected problems, all of these will happened on matter get along with the natives or the people who have the same nationality, but the point is, the international students have a totally different culture with the natives. Students can not use the same way to treat the natives as well as their friends in the same country. Thus, that is the culture shock. In conclusion, except the cost for studying abroad and the quality of education, going abroad is a choice in the life span of international students, they should respect their choice and finish their course well.
