　　 Studying Abroad: Hardships and Rewards

　　There is no denying the fact that studying abroad is a hotly debated topic today. Obviously, studying abroad has a number of rewards/advantages. In the first place, a student can have access to advanced science and technology as well as desirable working conditions which might not be available at home. In the second place, he can be exposed to entirely new ideas and trends. Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than at home.

　　Nevertheless, as every coin has two sides, studying abroad also confronts one with a series of hardships. For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people. For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may also be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young. An added difficulty lies with finance: it can cost a lot to study abroad.

　　From my point of view, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages. But it is a big decision to go abroad to study and one should take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding. Personally, I choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary.

　　(Therefore, studying abroad should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. The best policy, as I see it, is to take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding. Personally, I choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary.)

小編有約：最后一段，是在時間充足的情況下加上去的。一般在考試中，如果寫到第三段就很Perfect,能寫道第四段就是master啦。這次我要講的重點是，文章的結構，你可以看到考試的文章分三部走，開頭，中間，結尾?？纯次恼碌倪B接詞，這就是咱們中國人思維和他們不同的地方，在這篇文章中的連接詞用的很多，也很自然。我把它們拎出來講一講，"There is no denying the fact that... "→"Obviously"→" In the first place"→"In the second place"→"Last but not least"。這是第一段的連接詞?？纯吹诙危?Nevertheless"→" For one thing"→"For another"→"especially"?？纯吹谌危?From my point of view" →"But "→"Personally"。英語中的連接詞，是英語這種語言的特點，它需要這樣，更方便人們的理解，不會產生歧義。咱們中國就是對于語意的理解。這就是中英文各自的特點。所以，用英語思維寫出來的文章更地道。

同學們，自己數一數最后一段就是第四段的連接詞！這篇范文非常適合背誦。這是第一次在預測作文中Daisy建議背誦的文章哦。在前面的文章中Daisy一直鼓勵大家自己動手寫，呵呵~希望大家都寫啦！現在離考試越來越近，也要開始背誦一些好的經典文章啰。順便看看歷年真題和自己做過的題目，重新做一邊，再看看那些地方可以在考試的時候需注意，以及時間的分配等等。接下來Daisy把自己的考試經驗也會和大家分享的。
