They want to learn about the outside world. It39。s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs. But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents39。 care and deal with all kinds of things they haven39。t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
