1. What are the advantages and
disadvantages of studying in a foreign
country.
A: The advantages of studying in a
foreign country are that we could
learn standard English. We can
communicate with the local people,
and we could know the manners and
customs of the country better.
B: But there are still many disadvantages
of studying there. It would be difficult
for us to communicate with the foreign
people, and we should adapt to the
situation quickly. We can’t understand
the language very well, so it’s difficult
for us to do everything even some
simple things. What’s more, we will
miss our homes, miss our parents and
friends.
2. What do you think a Chinese student
will find different from studying at a
Chinese university?
They will find it’s not easy to study
in a foreign country. The different
teaching methods, different learning
methods and different situations, they
should adapt to all things quickly.

Xie Lei and her study.
Para.3 The difficulties Xie Lei met

While studying in London, Xie Lei has
some difficulties as well as benefits. Try
to find them according to the diagram.
Benefits Xie Lei gained.
A: The benefit of doing a preparation
course is helping her to get used to
academic requirements of a
Western University.
B: I think that the benefit of living with a
host family is that she can get lots of
advice; she has the opportunity to learn
more about everyday life and customs
in the new country. Living with a host
family is a great comfort to have a
substitute family to come home to.
C: And I think the benefit of having a
tutor is getting some good advice on
study and he or she can coach you
with your article; you can make
progress with the help of a tutor.
Difficulties
A: The difficulties that Xie Lei met at
the University are that when she
heard an expression, she can’t
understand. It seems strange to
her that someone does something.
She didn’t know how to write a
good essay on her own.
B: The difficulties that she has to get used
to a new way of life are that she had to
learn almost everything again. For
example, how to use the phone, how to
pay on the bus, how to ask a
shopkeeper for things she didn’t know
the English for. She didn’t understand
the words that the local people say.
She hasn’t had time for social
activities.
