study local and abroad

• Education is a never-ending learning process that has been a part of our life. • Good education will bring us bright future. Recently, many students continue their studies in Taiwan,
Hong Kong and Singapore.
• Many of them consider study aboard is a better option. Nevertheless, study local and abroad have their own uniqueness.

LOCAL GOOD 1

• First and foremost,study local can save our money. We don’t have to worry about the currency exchange.
• Generally, if we study local, government will subsidy part of the tuition fees like
PTPTN hence the expenses is much lesser. • Besides, accommodation’s cost is saved because we are able to stay with family.

LOCAL GOOD 2

• Second, we don’t have to worry about the language problem.
• We don’t have to spend much times for learning another foreign language. So we can fully focus on our studies instead of learning new language.
• We can spend our leisure time with family and friends.

LOCAL BAD 1

• In comparison,study local doesn’t have as many choices of university.
• In some cases, the specific course you are looking for may not be available at local universities or colleges and this becomes the reason why students study abroad.

LOCAL BAD 2

• Furthermore, if we study local, that means we are staying in our house.
• We don’t have to worry about houseworks and food. Because parents have wellprepared for us.
• Thus, we don’t have opportunity to become more independent and self disiplince. ABROAD GOOD 1

• On the other hand, if we study abroad, we could learn to be independent.
• No friends and family members are being with us , therefore we need to take care and do all the housework by ourselves.
• For example, we have to prepare meals and wash our own clothes. It is good for us to be independent at an earlier stage.

ABROAD GOOD 2

• Furthermore, we could experience foreign culture.
• We could communicate with foreigners to learn more about that country such as the history, culture and the habits of the people. • This special experience could broaden our minds and hence make us have a better understanding of the world.

ABROAD BAD 1

• On the contrary, study abroad means being away from home so feeling homesick is common, and if leave unattended, • it can potentially spiral into something negative such as depression.

ABROAD BAD 2

• Study abroad is very expensive. Different countries have different currency rate.
• Usually, when we convert our currency to others currency, our value will become smaller. • So, we cannot afford the high transportation expenditures if study aboard. ABROAD BAD 3

• Moreover, we may not adapt to a new environment. • The lifestyle between two countries is different such as food, culture, weather and living styles.
• It may be entirely different from where they are used to live in. It is not easy for us to change our lifestyle in a sudden.

• All in all, both of them have their pros and cons. In my opinion, I prefer studying local to studying abroad.
• The main reason is studying local much more cheaper than studying abroad.
• Then, I am familiar with our surroundings.
• Lastly, I don’t have to spend time to learn new language.
