As China opens its door, studying abroad has become one of Chinese students’ dreams. It’s reported that there are more than 30, 000 Chinese students studying in the USA now. And more and more teenagers go abroad for study directly after their junior high school.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs. But there are problems that should be thought about. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. There are reports about Chinese students abroad giving up finally because they meet tons of difficulties.

We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hand work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

I arrived in New York two weeks ago. There aren’t many Chinese students here, so I have to use English most of the time. Now I am writing my diary in English because my English teacher Rachel says it is a good way to practice English.

Thursday, October 20

My English is hopeless! I was on the bus this morning and a man spoke to me, but I hardly understood him. I was so embarrassed (尴尬的). Why is my English so poor? I want to make lots of American friends, but it’s hard for me to communicate with others.

Thursday, October 27

I went to a school party last Friday. I talked with a Japanese boy named Kenji and an Italian girl named Carla. We talked about our countries’ customs and our experiences in America. We are going to walk around New York this weekend. Kenji asked me to play basketball after school with him from now on. Maybe things are getting better.
