　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Studying Abroad. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:
　　1）目前很多中國學生出國留學，
　　2）出國留學的好處，
　　3）我的看法。

　　Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. Importance should be attached to studying abroad.
　　There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
　　Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.

　　參考譯文：
　　目前，出國留學在年輕人中間非常流行。我們應該充分重視留學問題。
　　出國留學有很多好處。首先，國外生活和學習為學生提供了一個看待世界的不同視角。在大學校園中，國際學生很可能遇到來自不同國家和地區的同伴，并且面臨迥異的觀念和價值。此外，海外經歷是外語在實際生活運用的最佳時機。沒有什么比住在母語國家提高第二外語技能的更好機會了。
　　總之，我認為盡管出國留學很昂貴，并且可能會痛苦，但這種付出是值得的。首先，除了知識之外，留學生可以獲得留在國內的學生永遠無法獲得的寶貴經驗。其次，盡管留學經歷可能使人沮喪痛苦，然而這對年輕人的成長是有益的。
