It is widely acknowledged that with the development of globalization and science, most
people
 prefer to move abroad in order to work and study. Some
people
 think that
this
 leads to some benefits and profits for them and other
people
 are against
this
 idea.
This
 essay will explore both pros and cons sides and I will support
this
 view with arguments in the following paragraphs.
Firstly
, one of the main positives of heading overseas is that it broadens your horizons. What I mean by
this
 is that you have the chance to meet
people
 from different cultural backgrounds.
Secondly
 , moving abroad can lead to a better quality of our life. Taking British
people
for example
. Thousand of
people
 from the UK move to Spanish and Australia every year . These countries have warmer climates and encourage a better work-life balance .
In addition
, by living overseas, you can gain qualifications and language skills which may improve promotion prospects on your return.
On the other hand
 , culture shock is a major problem. Many
people
 who live abroad for a few years , especially the
first
 years , come across a lot of obstacles
such
 as language barriers, food and general cultural differences.
This
 , in turn , leads to homesickness and some cases a sense of isolation . Another issue is that when you move to a foreign country , you have to make new friends and find your place in the community .
This
 process takes time and can be especially challenging. To sum up, taking everything into consideration
although
 there are several disadvantages of moving abroad , I strongly believe that these cannot outweigh their advantages.
