Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries.
"Chinese children hope to study abroad(到国外) to 1 a wider view(视野) of the world," said a Chinese writer called Chen Yi. Chen told the parents and their children that life in foreign countries can be hard for young people. "They have to meet a 2 shock(冲击) and language problems."
However, these are not the most difficult things. To most children, looking after 3 when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge(挑战).
Zhang Jia began to study in a high school in Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there didn't 4 students to study. And 5 there wasn't homework. "With these education(教育) systems, we have more 6 time and more space for thinking." said Zhang. "But if you don't know how to 7 your time and money, you will not have an easy time."
"Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages 8 and open up their eyes, but students and parents should know about the challenges," Chen said.
