Many people choose to work or live abroad because of the higher standards of living they can find outside their home country. Do you think this brings more advantages or disadvantages to the people who follow this path?

#people #work #standards #home #country #path
Migration to live or work abroad has increased in some countries recently as the expectation for a better life is higher than in the past. I generally believe the cons of living abroad outweigh its pros. The
first
 advantage of living abroad is building up new skills.
People
 who go to a foreign country step out of their comfort zone. There is a chance to improve communication,social and networking skills.
Furthermore
, living in a new place with new
culture
 and attractions
such
 as the architecture of buildings, social gatherings and
people
's interaction can open up minds and learn us how to respect the diverse opinions and they can visit new attractions that they might not have been there before.
On the other hand
, living abroad has several drawbacks.
Firstly
,
people
 may encounter
culture
 shock as they have to adapt to a completely new
culture
 .
Secondly
, most
people
 face financial challenges as they have to be familiar with a totally new financial system and paperwork it sometimes takes time to find a job . At
last
 but not least, homesickness due to being far from friends,family members and even homecooked meals may make
people
 feel isolated which leads to mental disorders
such
 as depression in the long term. In conclusion,
although
 some
people
 living or working abroad is a good opportunity to increase the life quality, I believe there are too many obstacles
such
 as
culture
 shock, financial conflicts and homesickness.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
