老师：Hi, everyone. My name is Lang Jingjing. I'm from No. 13 Middle School. Today we'll learn Unit 9, learning Reading Club 1, studying abroad. We will learn the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad and what you should prepare before going abroad to have a further study.
老师：So have you ever thought about studying abroad and why? Yes, I would like to study abroad. Firstly, I can brush up on my language skills there. I can make friends with native speakers. Secondly, studying abroad gives me a chance to explore a new culture. It helps me to learn more about different traditions and customs. Here, explore means studying something very carefully. Well, not everyone wants to study abroad. I don't like studying abroad.
老师：Firstly, I think studying in a foreign country will bring me more difficulties in both life and study. The most serious problem is the language barrier. Besides, since costs and expenditure are much higher than those in our native country, most overseas students have to work for a living, and we'll find it impossible for them to pay all attention to study. Here. Barrier means something difficult. Kunan Zhang, AI, expenditure means the costs.
老师：Huaixiao Huafei so now let's talk about the advantages of studying abroad. No. 1, studying abroad can help to improve one's language skills. Because we have a good language environment, we can make friends with foreign people and practice a lot. Number two, it can develop self independence. We are far away from home and our parents, so we have to do all the things on our own, such as cooking, shopping, washing clothes and so on. We can become more independent than before because we have to solve the problems by ourselves.
老师：No. 3, it can broaden one's horizons as we can know more about the foreign cultures, traditions, customers and a lot of other things. No. 4, we can enjoy a good academic environment. There are a lot of well known universities abroad. If we have a chance to study there, we can enhance our academic abilities. No. 4, it can sharpen one's edge because students who have overseas learning experiences have more chances to get good jobs. Edge here means Jingzhong Li, the last one. Maybe we can have a brighter future because of all the above factors. Of course, every coin has two sides.
老师：There are also some disadvantages of going abroad to study. No. 1, high costs. As we all know, the tuition of overseas study costs a lot, usually 300000 to 500000 yuan a year. This is really a great expenditure for average families. Therefore, many people give up studying abroad because of this reason.
老师：No. 2, language barrier is another drawback that we cannot ignore. Many students have difficulty with local language, especially when they come to a new country for the first
