范文:
As one of the oldest industries, education is constantly
branching out
: especially
in the context of globalisation
, studying overseas for
language betterment and culture acquisition
is gaining popularity. However, this essay argues that the practice is generally
neither applicable nor feasible
.
Admittedly, studying in another country
fulfills the named purposes
. For one thing, learning a foreign language or
multiple foreign tongues
is beneficial and learning languages where they are spoken is thus naturally believed
to be a plus
. Additionally, in terms of culture,
second-hand experience
is
nowhere close to
“living the culture” in the native environment. With those two points considered, continuing education abroad does
merit approval
.
However, given that learning abroad does
yields benefits
, the question of “applicability” seems to have
escaped examination
. Students, with their
diverse academic interests and disciplines
, might not need to get in touch with
exotic cultures
or acquire foreign languages
to the extent of
working on them
in an authentic environment
, i.e. the native countries. For example, there is little need for a student majoring in traditional Chinese literature to (go to the US to) improve spoken English or know more about the American Revolution.
Further, despite the
benefits and necessity of the matter in question
, studying abroad can just be impossible for
a major proportion of
students. Learning in another country, most probably if not definitely,
financially impacts on
students’ and their domestic economy. Moreover, most foreign languages and cultures
coveted by
students likely
originated from
major countries where tuition and life expenses are
relatively
high, which
adds to the already-heavy financial burdens
.
In sum, learning languages and cultures in foreign countries might seem
advantageous
, but does entail prerequisites of learning focus and financial backup, in which case this essay is against the
over-statement/over-generalisation
made in the topic.
