Where to study

Nowadays students can study either in their home country or in the United States. Some perfer to stay in their home country and study. Others think studying in the United States is more beneficial. As a matter of fact, each situation has its own advantages.

When students study in their home country, they have no language barriers. They can read books in their mother tongue very easily. They cane discuss theit lessons with the teachers or the fellow students very freely and since they are accustomed to the way they have been living, they have little difficulties in life. Besides, they have little financial difficulties in their studies because they can easily get financial support from their parents or their relatives.

When students attend schools in the U.S., they can act as mediators between peoples of different cultures to promote international understanding. They can also tend to be spokespersons for other cultures and people who may be misunderstood by Americans. They can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures to increase the awareness of their own culture. In addition, they can learn advanced knowledge of science and technology, and learn English much more quickly than in their own country.

I think it is better to study in the U.S. because the advantages to studying in the U.S outweight those to staying in one's home country and studying.
