Recently we have had a discussion about whether middle school students should go abroad for short-term overseas study tours. Opinions are divided as follows.
about 60% of us think it wise to go on short-term overseas study tours, through which we can get closer to some famous schools and have a better knowledge of them. Meanwhile, we can also experience the life of studying abroad ahead of schedule.
However, the rest hold different views. In their opinion, the fees are too high for most families to afford. Besides, middle school students, who spend most of their time at school, should spare some time with their parents. Worse still, some students do so only to satisfy their vanity.
As far as I’m concerned, short-term overseas study tours may be a motivation for me to study harder. For one thing, it can help me broaden my horizons and have a better understanding of foreign culture. For another, it can also serve as a test showing whether a student is able to live an independent life abroad or not.
