Why do many people want to go abroad for an extended period of time? A lot of Chinese students want to further their studies overseas because they believe that
foreign universities can offer a better education, as well as more opportunities for their future.
Some people want to find a job abroad in order to see the world and experience new things
．
In
some cases, people expect to find a better job and to make more money. I've heard that many
Australian students take a year off after their studies in order to relax before starting out in life
（＝
finding a job)
．
They want to visit many countries and experience life on the road. I think it's
amazing for young people to be able to do this. In China, if a student finds a part-time job, he’11
never make enough money to fly all around the globe.
2. What should these people do before going abroad? Well, if they want to study overseas, they need to do the same as me: they must study English
and prepare for the IELTS test, and apply to a university in the country of their choice. In order to
do so, they must write many letters of motivation and prove that they have enough money to
support their studies. After that you need to get the visa, and this is never easy for Chinese people.
A lot of students decide to pay an immigration agency to help them with all the documents and
requirements involved in the long process.
3. What would you miss most if you went abroad? I would definitely miss my parents and relatives, as well as my friends of course, but I think
that this is very obvious
．
In addition, I would probably miss the food, especially all the spicy
dishes I am really fond o# I might also get homesick from time to time, and depending on where I
live, I might find it difficult to get used to my new environment. Life is so comfortable when you
are at home, and you speak the language, and you know where to find anything you need.
