Study Abroad or in China?
It is obviously depicted in the cartoon given above there are two students who are discussing about whether to study abroad or in china.There is no consensus of opinions among people as to whether students should study abroad or not. Some people are of the view that the youths should go overseas for further study if possible, while others take an opposite stand.
Those people who agree with studying abroad believe that diverse culture backgrounds can broaden students' horizon. They also claim that overseas study can shape students' personality because they are forced to deal with all kinds of difficulties by themselves. Nevertheless, the other people who agree with domestic education argue that our educational programs have been greatly improved during the past decades. They also point out that domestic education is convenient and economical.
As far as I am concerned, the former opinion holds more weight. For one thing, it can strengthen the learners' abilities to understand and communicate with people from other cultures. For another, the developed countries still have a lot advanced knowledge we need to study. When all the factors are examined, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that studying abroad is advisable. (175 words)

出國留學還是國內(nèi)教育?
很明顯，上面這幅漫畫描繪了兩個學生在討論究竟是留在國內(nèi)學習還是出國留學。學生是否應該出國留學呢?人們尚未就這一點達成共識。有些人認為如果條件允許，年輕人應該出國留學深造，而有些人則站在相反的立場上。
那些贊成出國留學的人認為不同的文化背景能拓寬學生的眼界。他們也聲稱，出國留學能塑造學生的性格，因為他們迫于無奈要靠自己去解決各種各樣的困難。而另一些贊成國內(nèi)教育的人則申辯道：在過去的數(shù)十年間，教育事業(yè)已取得了長足的進步。他們也指出，國內(nèi)教育更方便、更省錢。
在我看來，前一種觀點更站得住腳。一方面，它能提高學生與其他文化背景的人們之間的理解和交流能力。另一方面，發(fā)達國家仍然掌握我們必須學習的先進知識。在分析了所有因素后，我們也許可以合理地得出結(jié)論：出國留學是明智的。
