More and more Chinese middle school students have gone to abroad to study since the 1990s. Like many language learners said, the students usually become fluent in foreign languages and can gain the good knowledge of foreign cultures. They can also improve their understanding of their own culture.Besides, they have to learn what to depend in themselves. Studying abroad may have its disadvantage as well. Some students may fall behind in their studies. Some students may feel unsafe to stay abroad on their own. Moreover, their parents may be concerning about the high cost.

In my opinion, the students ought to finishing their college education in China and then take farther education abroad.
