The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

    When we study a foreign language, it is very effective for us to go to the country in which the target language is spoken. In foreign country, we are surrounded by the language that we are learning, and we are forced to use it whether or not we want, so we can learn more rapidly and easily.
    In terms of culture, second hand experience is nowhere close to " experiencing the culture" in the native environment.
    In foreign countries, we can hear different opinions from what we have heard before and have an opportunity to ask the natives questions that we encounter in studies.
    NO
    Given that learning abroad does yield benefits, the question of " applicability" seems to be neglected. Students, with diverse academic interests and disciplines, might not need to get in touch with exotic cultures or acquire foreign languages to the extent of working on them in foreign countries.
    Most foreign languages and cultures coveted by students originate from developed countries where tuition and life expenses are relatively high, which may add to heavy financial burden on students.
    It’s very common that many students studying abroad never desire to go back to devote their life and energy to their countries because they have been accustomed to the foreign advanced technology and lifestyle.

答案     Should Students Go Overseas for Language Study and Culture Acquisition?
    Undeniably, studying in another country to learn its language and culture is believed to be a rewarding experience because overseas study can let you immerse yourself in a country and really get to know the language as well as the culture from the inside. However, many people contradict this statement by suggesting that studying abroad may lead to a great financial strain on families and a brain drain in the homeland.
    Speaking for myself, I deem this practice may not work for everyone. First and foremost, surrounded by people with different cultures, some overseas students may feel completely out of place and suffer from psychological problems, such as loneliness, homesickness and depression. Furthermore, young students’ early contact with society has their parents’ concerns mounted since some of them are too immature to resist the evil temptation and protect themselves. In addition, they may not only experience culture shock in different countries, but also suffer from the so-called reverse culture shock after returning to their motherland.
    To sum up, in spite of these positive possibilities, I think it’s neither practical nor feasible for all the students to learn language and culture abroad.
