The first time that she had to write an essay论文, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas,but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought（think)! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read lots of information in order to（=aim to) form a wise opinion idea,point,view,thought

Now halfway through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more at home in the UK. What seemed strange before/ now appears quite normal to her. 标注strong common普遍
"Engaging in British culture has helped," she said. "As well as studying hard, I've been involved in social activities. British people are fascinated by our culture and eager to learn more about it, so I'm keen to share my culture with them. While原文

many students who study abroad face great economic pressure.That means意味着 studying abroad is just not possible for everyone.Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive than at home and could end up costing most families an arm and a leg. Studying in China is much more convenient （n. convince）and can help save money.
Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure巨大的压力 that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliarstrange
environment with limited language skills. Some may feel struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundingsenvironment

Dear Editor,
Is studying abroad a good idea or not? There are certainly disadvantages,but in my opinion,the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great difficulties for a person who is brave, optimistic, and willing to work hard!
The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth. The education you gain and the experiences you have will change you for the better. For example, you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal withsolve
handle
treat
overcome
get through
tackle
fix
all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general competence.
Another advantage is the increased chance（opportunity) for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoyscultural messenger
promoting friendship between nations. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. Cooperating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight into our own culture.

Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to有助于=lead to the development of our motherland. China's global outlook, with projects such as 例如the Belt and Road Initiative项目，倡议, has helped us make connections across the world.

课后阅读
p71页课文
How are you? Mum said you asked how I was doing, so let me tell you about my life here.
As you know, I've been in China for around大约about a month now. I want to study in a local university, which is why I took those after-school Chinese classes. I decided on China because it's a fast-developing country with trade links all over the world. Studying here could be useful in finding a good job in trade or business. What's more, Chinese culture is really interesting, so choosing to come here was a no-braine不需要思考r for me!
Having said that虽说如此, China isn't like I thought it might be. I thought it would be quite old and traditional, but in many ways, the cities are just as modern as back home in Vancouver, only with lots more people! There's so much more food to try, too, and it's all delicious! Everywhere I go, I see restaurants and snack stalls小吃摊—it seems to be a big part of their culture. Food here is very reasonably priced,合理的价格 so it's great for my budget预算 The people I meet are all very welcoming towards me as a foreigner外国人, and I even seem to be a point of interest! However, hardly几乎没有人 anyone speaks English in my area, so it can be a bit overwhelming 不知所措at times. But I guess that's why I'm here—-to learn.
Right now, I'm studying every day for my HSK exam (a Chinese language 资格), But I also get a chance(opportunity） to explore(exploration) the city.I usually get up extra格外的 early each morning to enjoy a freshly（fresh：adj+ly=adv.) made breakfast on the street, and then I often visit a park. I'm not sure if you know, but I'm really interested in tai chi, so I spend a lot of time in the city parks practising (take up占用）with the locals. There's a lot of traditional culture still alive in China. The parks are full of people playing traditional instruments乐器, playing Chinese chess, and even writing calligraphy on the ground with giant paintbrushes!
My long-term plan is to take a degree学位（diploma文凭） course课程 here. But it all depends on my expenses开支, so l intend to打算做某事 find some work first. I'm staying in a hostel旅馆 dormitory集体宿舍 （青年旅社)right now, but I've put an adD登广告 online to find a friendly Chinese family for a home stay民宿. That way, my Chinese will improve much faster, especially特别是 my written Chinese, which I find the most difficult to grasp掌握. I'll get more exposure to接触 Chinese culture, too. I hope I can learn some Chinese food recipes菜谱 from them. I promise
to make everyone a meal when I return!
Well, that's all for now就到这里. I've attached附加 a few photos for
you. You would really love it here, so I hope you guys
can visit China some time!
Take care!保重
Jim
