字数 469 With the explosive development of science and technology, people tend to pay more attention to the advanced education of students. And the speaker claims that college and university students should be required to have an experience of at least one semester studying in a foreign country. Admittedly, this recommendation would contribute to the development of students, to some extent. However,
To begin with, studying abroad is beneficial to students not only in professional fields but also in individual experience. When getting ready in spoken language which would guarantee the normal life in a foreign country, when prepared with the indispensable professional knowledge, a necessary condition for academic communication, and when students could afford the enormous expense to maintain the basic life broad, they could improve the academic ability and learn the different technology and methods in a specific field. And they could also experience disparate cultures which would expand the students’ sphere in their lives.
However, if all the students are required to learning abroad coercively, there appear several problems, such as the large quantity of expense to poor families. The government could not undertake all the cost of studying abroad for all the students, then it becomes a heavy burden for these families. We can suppose that in order to have the experience abroad but also considering the economic condition, most students would be more likely to go the countries where they could afford their life. So the choices of destination countries for students is diminished drastically and the aim to have students exuberant experience would be also impaired.
In addition, if students have had an albatross in their colleges or universities, then spending great amount of time to study abroad would lead students to falling behind the class. For instance, I have a classmate who has travelled to Singapore for one semester studying and after returning she had to make up all the lessons during her absence. It was so a tremendous load that she had to spend an addition year to achieve the prescript academic credit and postponed the graduation time. But she said she had not learned the anticipatory knowledge and technology in Singapore as they had the similar condition with our country. Then this experience may seem to not worth her absence of so many classes.
In summary, acquiring the experience of studying abroad may contribute to the further development of students. Nevertheless, colleges and universities should not force the recommendation unless all aspects such as personal cognition in their specialized fields, and the economical conditions are mature. It ought to depend on the different situation of students and colleges and universities should encourage students choose an appropriate opportunity to go abroad for further studying. Besides, colleges and universities could also invite some foreign scholars to make a speech which also benefit the students.
