In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

Advantages of Studying Abroad Over the last several years, along with the rapid development of economy, an increasing number of parents have been sending their children to study abroad. Is it worthwhile? There is no doubt that going to study in a foreign country, with its different language and culture, can be a frustrating and sometimes painful experience. But while overseas study has its drawbacks, the difficulties are far outweighed by the advantages. Indeed, people who go abroad for study open themselves up to experiences that those who stay at home will never have. The most obvious advantage to overseas university study is real-life use of a different language. While a person can study a foreign language in his or her own country, it cannot compare with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Moreover, having used the language during one’s studies offers a distinct advantage while one is applying for jobs back home that require the language. Moreover, gaining a further education abroad will definitely improve one’s academic skill. To a remarkable extent, a sea of students choosing to study abroad is based on an obvious fact that foreign universities can provide better and more resources for their study. There are more experienced professors giving beneficial instructions, more libraries offering helpful books and more well-equipped laboratories enriching precise experiments. Compared with those studying in their own country, people choosing to study abroad can get a better education. Finally, living and studying abroad offers one a new and different perspective of the world and, perhaps most important, of one’s own country. Once beyond the initial shock of being in a new culture, the student slowly begins to get a meaningful understanding of the host society. The knowledge of social customs acquired in other countries helps them to become more open-minded. On returning home, one inevitably sees one’s own country in a new, often more appreciative4. light. Besides, on a university campus, the foreign student is not alone. He or she is likely to encounter many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all around the world. This is not only exciting on a social level, but helpful to establish important overseas contacts in later professional life. In conclusion, while any anxiety about going overseas for university study is certainly understandable, it is important to remember that the benefits offered by the experience make it well worthwhile.
解析
本文讨论的是出国留学的好处。不过,在文章一开始,作者先介绍了出国留学的一些弊病,随后再引出主题:出国留学利大于弊。这种先抑后扬的手法,使本文的论证更为饱满有力。在文中,作者列出了出国留学的三大好处:可以在真实的场景中使用外语;可以提高自己的学术水平;可以从不同的角度看待世界及自己的国家。作者对这三个论据按照显著性进行了排列,从最显而易见的好处开始谈起,把人们最不熟悉的放在最后,通过一步步引导读者,使读者能自然而然地接受自己所有的观点。
