43. Going Abroad

论出国留学

Recently, many young people, even students in high schools are dreaming of studying abroad. Attracted by the advanced science and technology, they are eager to go to foreign countries, thinking that they are bound to have a bright future.

最近，许多年轻人，甚至是中学生都在梦想着出国学习。受到国外先进的科学技术的吸引，很多人渴望出国深造，他们相信这样他们会有一个美好的将来。

But the reality may not be as good as they have expected. Some high school students may find it difficult to get used to the new surroundings; some can not put up with the poor living conditions; some may give up their study because of lack of selfcontrol; very few of them can finish their study successfully.

但是现实往往不能如他们所愿，一些中学生发现他们很难适应新环境；还有的无法忍受恶劣的生存状况；还有的因为缺乏自制力而放弃学业；他们中很少能够很成功。

In my opinion, I think high school students should make their own decisions according to their different family backgrounds. But the most important thing is that they must be clear about their purpose in doing so, and they should also have prepared fully.

在我看来，我认为中学生应根据他们不同的家庭背景作出自己的决定。但是重要的是他们应该清楚自己这样做的目的并且做好全方位的准备工作。
