More students travel abroad for further education. Do you believe the advantages of this experience are greater than the drawbacks associated with it?

It is true that a number of undergraduate prefer to go abroad for educational purposes and I support the assertion that the advantages of studying in foreign
countries
are by far outweigh its disadvantages.
To begin
with, nowadays more and more young adults and teenagers tend to continue their education by any chance
further
from their parents, friends and birthplace. I suppose the harsh decision of leaving their own country in long-term conditions have been made by the conscious mentality of young generation;
otherwise
, they might come across with the inevitable consequences like confusion or anxiety or even regret.
However
, when we take into consideration that in
this
day and age youth seem to be more confident and adequate in their actions, parents can simply support their children financially without any worries of future difficulties.
In other words
, a scholar who has already had a sense of self-reliance may alleviate all the other problems would that be in studies or in a new environment without the physical participation of its father and mother.
Thus
, the
first
paragraph is all about the hardest decision that some
students
had to make for themselves, whereas the
second
will represent main benefits which international
students
can bring by living and studying in other
countries
. The
first
notable advantage is overcoming the
language
barrier which I consider no less important for a pupil, who really want to have a promising job in the future.
For example
, as we know, a vast majority of juniors are struggling to learn a foreign
language
such
as English, which is not an easy task ,especially, when you are not surrounded with the relevant atmosphere. English, in fact, like any other foreign
language
can not be completely taught without practice and experience of speaking with native speakers.
Nevertheless
, it is possible to learn it, but I think that it will, perhaps, took a great amount of time until the student will wholly able to communicate with other English speakers.
Consequently
, moving to another country is the most effective way to master a particular
language
. The
second
advantage is independence; It is not surprising that after moving to foreign
countries
,
students
originally have to deal not only with their everyday studies but
also
their social necessities as well. Some graduate even enjoys
this
process as they have already been mentally prepared.
Furthermore
, they are enjoying every moment of
this
complicity of being alone and try to maintain their own life. Above that all, some people agree that having an independent life and moving according to one's heart's content is a huge satisfaction itself.
This
is why the booming trend of studying abroad has been flourished in recent decades. To conclude,
Although
international
students
may have some difficulties during adapting and emerging into new culture and environment, I still do believe that these complications will never outrace the important benefits that may foreign
countries
give to them.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
