Environment is a very important factor
influencing career and academic performance. Some people think that students do
not need to go abroad in order to study. However, nowadays most students want
to study abroad for many reasons. I think that the most important reasons are the
opportunity to learn foreign language, and better academic performances.
First of all, when considering the
opportunity to acquire foreign language skill, it is obvious that attending
schools or universities abroad is beneficial. Studying in other countries
enable students to be familiar with those countries’ languages, as well as to
study their major subjects. This is because they should use different countries’
language, not their mother tongue everyday. It makes the students cultivate the
bilingual ability, an essential requirement of intelligent people. In this
globalized era, it allows the students to have more opportunities to get a job.
For example, many companies such as SAMSUNG prefer employees who can use more
than one language. This is because they have broadened range of working areas
including oversea business and transaction with foreign buyers. If some
students were in the foreign countries, they could be employed to great
companies such as SAMSUNG more easily. In this regard, having bilingual
language skill is considerable advantage of studying abroad.
Additionally, studying in foreign countries
leads the students to make the better academic performances. To be specific, in
the countries where the study was born or have better environments for specific
fields of study, imbibing knowledge is more helpful for the academic performances.
This is because there are much information to access easily, as well as
cutting-edge technologies to treat those studies. For example, my major is history
of sports, and specific major is soccer. However, in my country, Korea, I had a
hard time finding useful information about soccer history. So I decided to
study in Brazil, the original country of soccer. The reason why I chose Brazil
is that there are many museums and universities whose primary researches about
soccer. So, I could deal with much information about soccer, and published many
great papers. In contrast, my friends who studied still in Korea, suffered from
a lack of information about soccer. My experience can best illustrate that
studying abroad is helpful to make the better academic performances.
In conclusion, both factors, the
opportunity to acquire foreign languages and better academic performances, are
good reasons for studying in abroad. It allows the students not only to be
capable of bilingual language, but also to access much information about their
study. |
