人生选择（出国留学等）
The picture vividly depicts that three young students are flying in the sky. With a bag on the back, each of them is holding a huge book entitled "Studying Abroad". The caption reads, "Going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity nowadays".
The purpose of the cartoon is to show us that importance should be attached to studying abroad. First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
Generally speaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents. Accordingly, the difficulty, coupled with the frustration brought by culture shock, is a rewarding treasure for one's future life and development of personality.
