The following are opinions some students in a social media group. They talk about whether it is good to study abroad after finishing high school.
I don't think it is a good idea for junior high students to study abroad. Teenage time is good period for us to develop our own values. We still cannot tell what is right or wrong well. Lots of students may get lots and forget about their main work— study.

I always want to study abroad in the UK because I think it is much better to experience a totally different culture by ourselves. Although we may learn about it from textbooks or on the Internet, it will not leave a deep impression on us.

Studying abroad is surely a good way to improve our English. We learn to read, listen and speak English in China. However, most of us still cannot speak English well because most of the time we speak Chinese. If we can study in English-speaking countries, such as Britain, America and Canada, it will be much more convenient and effective (更有效的).

What surprises us most? It is that there are still couples who keep doing things to show each other love. A Japanese farmer is famous for his act of love. He has spent nearly two years planting flowers for his blind wife.
Mr. And Mrs. Kuroki live in a large flower garden. The garden has turned into a tourist attraction (旅游胜地）recently. Around 7,000 visitors come here each year, not only for the beautiful scenery (景色），but also for the special story behind the two old farmers.
In 1956, the newly married couple first moved into the house. The house would be their home for the rest of their lives. They had two children and lived happily for years. However, as years passed, Mrs. Kuroki's health began to decline. Her vision(视力）problems were so serious that she became blind in the end. She hid herself in her home for a long time, refusing to leave unless it was necessary.
Mr. Kuroki got an idea. He wanted to give her gifts—flowers. So he got to work on his big surprise .Mr. Kurki took advantage of the hills around their house and he began to plant a kind of flowers with strong fragrance (芳香）. He wanted to see if the fragrance would make her come outside. When he realized that his idea was going to work, he worked for nearly two years to completely cover his garden with the flowers.
Now Mrs. Kuroki goes out every day with her husband to enjoy the fragrance of the the flowers and the fresh air of a new day.

Korea were sold out in less than two days. Hundreds of millions of people watched the game on TV and on the Internet.
The winning World Cup team got $4 million. The team getting second place got $2.6 million. Teams that didn't do so well got less money.
In all, the women's teams could get $30 million. Though it was twice as much prize money as that in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup ,it was still not much , if you compare it with the $ 2.6 million , Teams that didn't do so well got less money.

Men and women football players the same money, but Ms. Hegerberg didn't think that Norway did well, so she didn't play on the national team.
In the middle of the 17th century, people first put candles on Christmas trees. Later when electricity was widely used, people started to use electric lights instead candles.
The American custom of (use) electric lights began in1882 when Ed-ward
Johnson, a friend of Thomas Edison's, connected eighty red, white blue electric light and put them around a green tree. In 1895, Grover Cleveland, put up a Christmas tree with electric lights on it. The public started to follow him. Some large (store)n put up such Christmas trees to attract customers. In early 19900s, a tree with electric lights cost at least $ 300. Because of that, Christmas trees with electric lights weren't very popular. Some most families had to put candles on (they) Christmas trees.
In 1917, a serious fire was caused by the candles in a Christmas tress in New York City. When 15-year- old boy, Albert Sadacca, read this story in a newspaper, he advised his parents (make) electric lights for Christmas trees. He thought it would be much (safe) if electric lights took the place of candles. His parents then started a company to produce electric light for Christmas trees.
