“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are also some problems. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of difficulties. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high.

We know that there are many famous people who have had success through their hard work in China. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

假如你是李明，你的英国网友Peter给你写了一封信，想具体了解你和你的同学进行课外阅读的相关情况。请你根据Peter的来信，用英语写一封回信。

Dear Ming,

Glad to hear from you. You said at present only a few students do some reading in their free time. I’m very surprised to hear that. Why don’t they have enough time to read books? What do they often do after class? Do they spend much time playing computer games? How much time do you spend on reading? What types of books do you like best? In your opinion, why do the students need to read books?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes!

Peter
