Some
people
 believe that living abroad and speaking another
language
 can make life extremely difficult.
By contrast
, in my opinion,
people
 can adapt to a new country and learn a new
language
 easily and quickly. The main reason why I think that living abroad isn't as difficult as some
people
 believe is that we can learn a new
language
 before we go to another nation.
For instance
, I studied and lived in France for three years and a half. Before leaving for France, I had studied French for one year and mastered the vocabulary in daily life and conversations. So I didn’t have too many problems caused by the French.
Furthermore
, English is one of the official languages in a lot of countries.
Therefore
, even though
people
 can’t speak the native of the state, they can
also
 communicate in English. Another reason why foreign experiences aren’t so hard is that
people
 can make new friends who have the same situation. They can share their problems and solutions with each other, which can
also
 relieve their loneliness.
However
, separating from family and friends, and living independently in a new country can give us some sort of inconvenience. We need to learn a new
language
, build different relationships, and adapt to the lifestyle of the new nation.
People
 have to put their effort into overcoming these difficulties. In conclusion, I somewhat disagree that there are many serious social and practical problems in foreign lives.
This
 is because we can learn a new
language
 or speak English, and finding
people
 who have the same condition can
also
 help us a lot.
