“Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions．As China opens Its doors，studying abroad（出國）has become a dream for many Chinese students．They want to learn about the world．

It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves．Language skills（技能）will improve and it may be easier to find jobs．

But we should consider some problems．Language is the first．Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture．

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't done before，like looking after themselves．When they have to take care of themselves，it is difficult for students to study well．

Finally，not every family can afford studying abroad．For most Chinese parents，the cost of studying abroad is very high．

We know that many famous people succeed in great things through hard work in China．Liu Xiang is a good example．Once an American coach invited him there but he refused．He kept training hard with his Chinese coach．He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics．So when you wonder which country is better to study in，consider whether studying abroad is the right decision．
