“The US? 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^Js true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills willbe improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot oftime learning another language.

Students must also learn to live without parents⁵ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven^，tdone before,like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into asea of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves,it is hard for studentsto study well.

Finally,studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents,thecost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth that?

We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work inChina. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American coach invited him there, but he refused. He kepttraining hard with his Chinese coach. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the AthensOlympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in,think again.
