difficulty in understanding a foreign language can be very disappointing and can affect the
student’s grades. It can be very expensive to pay the costs of travel and housing in a different
country. Finally, if there is an emergency at home, it will be hard to get home in a hurry.
However, studying in another country is advantageous in many ways. A student is
exposed to a new culture. This culture teaches him or her about other people and other ways
of thinking, which can promote friendships among countries. He can learn a new language
which may be beneficial for keeping up with research after the student has finished studying.
He can learn experience not available in his country. The student may also get the
opportunity to study at a university where a leading expert in his field may be teaching. The
leading expert can introduce the student to the most up-to-date findings of the top
3
researchers in the field. Exposure to such available knowledge and insights into the field can
aid the student in becoming an expert as well.
1. ______ to study abroad.
A. There are only disadvantages
B. There are only advantages
C. There are both advantages and disadvantages
D. There are neither advantages nor disadvantages
2. When studying abroad, a student ______.
A. is homesick and feels lonely

D. All are correct.

A. has no advantages
B. enriches his knowledge about people and other ways of thinking
C. has no effects
D. causes some trouble
4. At a foreign university, a student ______.
