“   USA? England? Australia? Which country is better to study in?” As China opens its door, many Chinese students want to learn about the world. It's true that studying abroad(国外的) can help students develop themselves. Students' language skills will be improved and it may be easier for them to find a job.

   But there are problems that should be considered(考虑). Language is the first. Students must use a lot of time to learn another language and to get used to a different culture.

    Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for the students to study well.

    Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担)to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth(值得)it?

    We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example.

    When Ana Dodson was 11 years old, she travelled to Peru. She went on more than just a vacation. She was visiting her native country.

    Ana was born in Peru, but she was adopted(领养)by an American family and grew up in the USA. While in Peru, Ana wanted to know what her life could have been like if she had not been adopted. She visited several orphanages, including one in the hills of Cuzco, near her birthplace.

    "The orphanage was really cold and dry," Ana said. "The paint was falling off. The girls were in poor health."

    When Ana returned home, she kept thinking of the orphanage in Cuzco." I really couldn't get the girls out of my mind, and I really wanted to do something because I could have been one of those girls in that orphanage."

    Ana decided to start a group called Peruvian Hearts to help. Her goal was to improve orphans' living conditions. In the first two years, Peruvian Hearts raised about $18, 000 for the orphanage. The group also bought a chicken coop(鸡舍)so the girls can eat fresh eggs.

Dear Henry,

    I'm glad to know you are coming to my house next Sunday. But it is a little difficult to find my house. Go out of the train station, and go down West Street to the north. Don't turn left at the crossing, and just walk straight on. You can see a bus stop near a movie theatre on your left. Take the No. 2 bus there and get off at the fifth stop. Then you are on Garden Street. Go down the street and walk until you see a park. Walk across the park and you can find a bank on your right. My house is opposite the bank. I will meet you at the gate of my house. See you then.

Your friend,

Tom
