Studying abroad is increasingly popular among students, with tens of thousands of Chinese high school students going abroad for education each year. Yet, there exists a debate among experts, families and schools on whether high school graduates should study overseas. Is it beneficial for high school students to study overseas? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the opinions from different sides, and then
2. give your comment.
Students
Joe Roma of Ayusa: Everything from your exams to your host family’s rules might be drastically different from what you are used to at home. Add a new language to the mix, and suddenly everyday tasks can seem daunting. The reality of what it truly means to fully immerse oneself in a culture that has very different values, communication styles, world views and language differences can be very challenging for a young person.
Yvonne: The cost of living may be higher. If you’re studying in a major city, in Western Europe, or in a country where the currency exchange rate is unfavorable to the dollar, the cost of living will be relatively high. Things such as food, rent, and the Internet will cost more than they do at home, which means you’ll be paying even more out of pocket just by living overseas. You can find coupons through sites like www. couponsumo. com, but be sure to control your budget to make sure you’ll have enough money to get by.
A Chinese student: Your education will be more meaningful. It’s one thing to read about distant places in a textbook, but it’s another to actually go there and learn about them in person. For instance, learning about the construction of the Great Wall of China from a history textbook simply can’t be compared to walking along the wall with a knowledgeable tour guide. To fully understand why other cultures are different, programs for studying abroad allow you to go beyond the classroom and discover the context for yourself.
Experts and teachers
A Chinese expert: Studying overseas is deemed risky for youngsters’ normal development, and may not contribute significantly to their future career success. Also, it will most certainly put an inordinate financial burden on them and their families.
A teacher from China: It is very important for high school students to study abroad. It enables them to learn how other countries operate and they can learn something new they’ve never learned before. There are so many benefits that students can get from studying abroad that I don’t even know where to begin. First and foremost, the students will be able to learn more about a certain group of people or culture.
Ms. Zhang, a teacher from Shanghai: When you are studying in another country, you are in a very unique situation. You’re in an unfamiliar place where people do things completely different from what you used to. You will be able to experience a culture very different from your own, and you will be exposed to more different people and different ways of doing things.

My Views on High School Students’ Studying Abroad
The recent decade witnesses an increasing number of high school students studying abroad, who hope to be immersed in the exotic and enchanting foreign culture and have an easier access to distinguished foreign universities. However, there has been a hot debate over the benefits and downsides of high school students studying abroad.
Many teachers and high school students think that the experience of studying abroad seems to open an entire new world for students. Not only will the students be exposed to a totally different culture, but also they will enjoy a rare opportunity to grow up mentally and psychologically. On the contrary, some people oppose this option, arguing that high school students are too young to manage a successful transition to a new atmosphere, including the language, world values, and interpersonal communication customs. Besides, high school students have to rely on their parents in terms of financial costs. Therefore, it will undoubtedly put a huge financial burden on their parents.
As far as I’m concerned, I tend to agree with the former opinion, believing that the benefits outweigh the downsides. To begin with, studying abroad is not just a journey of distance and geography, but also a process of culture and self-transformation. What’s more, it is not always easy and can be frustrating, but ultimately the experience is very rewarding because it eases the transition from adolescence to adulthood, enabling high school
students to develop communication and problem-solving skills and to mature both intellectually and emotionally. Last but not least, the students stand a better chance to be admitted into distinguished foreign universities if they have a high school diploma in that particular country.
In a word, although there might exist certain risks, it’s worthwhile for high school students to study abroad. Benefiting from the broadened view, mature mentality and fluent foreign language, the students will have an edge over their peers in the future competition for universities as well as in the job market.
