Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I still take the view that the disadvantages for young people
29、are greater.To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. We should not ignore the fact that there are still many families who live from hand to mouth. Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive

Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save much money.Another important factor which should be taken into consideration is the great pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an

Being too young to live independently, other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed. Some stu
32、dents might even encounter problems with personal safely mainly in America where racism(种族主义)prevails(盛行). In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students.A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young peopl
33、e who study in China also have a great future to look forward to. As China has boomed(兴旺), the educational environment has improved obviously, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities(设施)and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to
34、the economy and further strengthen our country. Most importantly, it has been widely recognized that China has become the safest country in the world to resist COVID-2019.To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its unavoidable disadvantages, so when you think about studying abro
