"Task: In the past, when students did a university degree, they tended to study in their own country. Nowadays, they have more opportunity to study abroad. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?" My writing: Education is the fundamental point for a community development. Without it the world would still be facing many diseases battles or could be stagnated for the lack of technology. In many cases, the region lived doesn’t have the proper education, making necessary look for study abroad. In the past, that was much more difficult, but nowadays things are different. With the transportation and communication systems growth, living in another place is much easier. Those facts have helped some people achieve their dreams studying abroad and those students have a lot to gain for the future. Studying in another country can be challenging, but there are a lot of advantages reasons to do it. As students will experience independence, personally they can have their confidence and self-assurance increased. Hence they would be better prepared to a more challenging situation in many sides of their life, for example professional. Still, they can experience cultural differences turning themselves in more flexible, peaceful and tolerant persons. And, of course, looking for study in some other place is positive because help spread knowledge, which is essential for world development. On other hand, there are some disadvantages about studying abroad. The principle point would be missing family support and fall on homesick. But, as was said before, internet can be a friendly tool solving this problem, shortening physical distance between people. Secondly, the beginning can be a little tough and stressful especially if the student doesn’t have a reasonable domain in the foreign language. Persistence and willpower would be the main points to work in this case and, more, teachers and classmates supports are very important. Although there are some disadvantages studying in a different country, they can be easily solved if faced with maturity and if the student is conscious about the positive acquisitions after the experience. The advantages of this development can outweigh the disadvantages.
