Part I Writing
One possible version:
Studying Abroad
Nowadays, more and more students are going abroad for their studies. They enter prestigious universities and institutions and get diplomas there.
There are several advantages of studying abroad. For one thing, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, they are likely to encounter fellow students from various countries and areas, and to be exposed to diverse ideas and values. For another thing, studying abroad offers students the best opportunity to improve their second-language skills, because living in another country is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages.
As far as I am concerned, although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, students can benefit from it. In the first place, students can gain precious experience that those who stay at home will never have, and then be better prepared for the fierce competition in the job-hunting market. Furthermore, the overseas experience can sharpen students’ strengths, such as patience, tolerance, persistence, etc.
