Nowadays parents are sending their children on trips abroad for educational purposes. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

Nowadays, the trend of parents sending their children abroad to study has become more apparent than ever before.
Although
several children were depressed due to some circumstances during their
trip
, I categorically believe there are many benefits that they will gain from
this
once-of-a-lifetime experience. According to the survey which was conducted in Chulalongkorn University, undergraduate
students
who have been

admit that after they went through

This
is due to the fact that these

of adjustment will be vital for them.
Moreover
, when they go to school, they
also
get a chance to meet new foreign friends.
As a result
, it will be much easier to learn the

from these people who speak English as a

language
and will make them learn

country alone, they might suffer “culture shock” : state of being in the unfamiliar place for a period of

and will make them tired and sick all the

.
Moreover
, varieties of international
students
are sent to other countries in order to improve their

skills. Considering my Japanese friend Yumiko,

barrier led to frustration because she couldn’t express herself fully compared to the
time
she spoke Japanese. In conclusion, I think travelling to other countries for learning purposes can have both upside and downside depending on individual experience.
However
, I suggest that if people can afford to go on the
trip
, they shouldn't miss out on the chance. From my experience, though I faced many challenges and difficulties when I was in New Zealand for a summer
trip
, I got so many friends and developed my communication skills which I have never thought I could do before in my home country.
