　　Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. Importance should be attached to studying abroad.

　　There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.

　　Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.

　　目前，出国留学在年轻人中间非常流行。我们应该充分重视留学问题。

　　出国留学有很多好处。首先，国外生活和学习为学生提供了一个看待世界的不同视角。在大学校园中，国际学生很可能遇到来自不同国家和地区的同伴，并且面临迥异的观念和价值。此外，海外经历是外语在实际生活运用的最佳时机。没有什么比住在母语国家提高第二外语技能的更好机会了。

　　总之，我认为尽管出国留学很昂贵，并且可能会痛苦，但这种付出是值得的。首先，除了知识之外，留学生可以获得留在国内的学生永远无法获得的宝贵经验。其次，尽管留学经历可能使人沮丧痛苦，然而这对年轻人的成长是有益的。
