As parts of education, students should spend a period of time living in another country to learn its language and culture. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people believe that schools should give opportunities for students to go abroad to gain insight into other linguistics and cultures' characteristics. In my opinion, it is a good, yet not an optimal choice for them to meet
such
an expectation in learning.
On the Linking Words
first
side, Linking Words
although
studying overseas definitely is a benefit for learners to obtain knowledge about other countries, it may cause some difficulties in putting it into action. Without reasonable solutions, those difficulties possibly exceed their advantages. Linking Words
To begin
with, there is absolutely a financial problem. It is not only for flights and accommodation but Linking Words
also
for fundamental demands that each student has to take into consideration when spending money. Linking Words
Besides
, living overseas probably takes a long time for an individual to know well about a country by learning in different environments. Linking Words
Furthermore
, culture shock, as well as homesickness in the initial days possibly affect the process they acquire understanding. Linking Words
As a result
, the information they get does not satisfy the original purpose. Linking Words
In other words
, schooling in foreign countries has more demerits than its benefits due to financial concerns and limited studying efficiency.

On the other hand
, students are Linking Words
also
able to learn various languages and cultures in their current condition without going overseas. Due to the development of the Internet as well as technology, it is more accessible for everyone to get any insight on earth so that they can learn a lot. Particularly, Duolingo has been written to help foreigners study a new language other than their mother tongue. Linking Words
In addition
, people recently have a chance to ask foreigners who are living in their current place for the information they want to know. Linking Words
For instance
, most of the Vietnamese students are taught to speak English by native speakers without going to other nations. Linking Words
Therefore
, gaining knowledge in the homeland Linking Words
likewise
brings efficiencies to learners.
In conclusion, I believe that schools do not have to include overseas trips in their curriculum because students can easily broaden their knowledge and gain their language skills without it thanks to contemporary conveniences.Linking Words
