　　 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.)

小编有约：最后一段，是在时间充足的情况下加上去的。一般在考试中，如果写到第三段就很Perfect,能写道第四段就是master啦。这次我要讲的重点是，文章的结构，你可以看到考试的文章分三部走，开头，中间，结尾。看看文章的连接词，这就是咱们中国人思维和他们不同的地方，在这篇文章中的连接词用的很多，也很自然。我把它们拎出来讲一讲，"There is no denying the fact that... "→"Obviously"→" In the first place"→"In the second place"→"Last but not least"。这是第一段的连接词。看看第二段："Nevertheless"→" For one thing"→"For another"→"especially"。看看第三段："From my point of view" →"But "→"Personally"。英语中的连接词，是英语这种语言的特点，它需要这样，更方便人们的理解，不会产生歧义。咱们中国就是对于语意的理解。这就是中英文各自的特点。所以，用英语思维写出来的文章更地道。

同学们，自己数一数最后一段就是第四段的连接词！这篇范文非常适合背诵。这是第一次在预测作文中Daisy建议背诵的文章哦。在前面的文章中Daisy一直鼓励大家自己动手写，呵呵~希望大家都写啦！现在离考试越来越近，也要开始背诵一些好的经典文章啰。顺便看看历年真题和自己做过的题目，重新做一边，再看看那些地方可以在考试的时候需注意，以及时间的分配等等。接下来Daisy把自己的考试经验也会和大家分享的。
