IELTS TASK 2: Studying aboard

Question: [G][b]In the past, when students did a university degree, they tended to study in their own country. Nowadays, they have more opportunity to study aboard. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this development?

We now live in an age when many of us have a chance to study in another country to get a university qualification. It is really different than many years ago that students just stayed in their province and went to college. So let us consider what strengths and weaknesses studying overseas includes.

Generally speaking, student will benefit from living aboard and studying there. Firstly, every country has its own diversity traditions and customs, so it is good for us to discover. For example, Chilean have a surprisingly unique New Year celebrating way is spending New Year's Eve with the dead. Therefore, some kinds of traditional celebration like that probably make us curious and interested in. Secondly, we will have a chance to study with effective and morden studying methods that help us to learn easily such as theories combine practicing, going on an excursion, studying with smart televisions and robots, being encouraged to organise a community project, etc so we will become more knowledgeable to develop our countries when we return.

Notwithstanding, getting foreign schooling also has some drawbacks. Culture shock is one of them.We cannot be accustomed to it right away; it may take us two weeks or one month to adjust, especially for some of us have been familiar to our country's life styles so it can take us years. For instance, Asians have difficulty being used to the greet methods are kissing cheeks and hugging each other when they study in Western countries. Or some left-handed people feel uncomfortable in UAE because using left hand when they are eating is considered gross. Otherwise, if we have a habit of sitting in the back of a cab, then it is rude in Australia.

Without any doubt, not only does the trend of overseas study have positive aspect that is its studying facilities and chance for us to explore the culture but also cover a downside is shocking people with those unfamiliar cultures.

Writing Feedback / IELTS WRITING TASK 2: CHEAP TOURISM [2]

International travel is becoming cheaper, and countries are opening their doors to more and more tourists.

Do the advantage of increased tourism outweigh its advantage?

The prices of traveling internationally have been decreasing greatly, resulting in more opportunities for tourists to travel everywhere. From my perspectives, this trend is rather beneficial than disastrous regarding several aspects.

One evident drawback of inexpensive global tourism is more destruction to the environment. Specifically, tourism industry has already been considered to be the major cause of global warming, as it provokes the use of cars, buses and planes that employ non-renewable energy such petrol and release toxic fumes into the atmosphere. Furthermore, not every traveler has environmental awareness, since they believe that it is not their responsibility to protect the environment, leading to many places of interests around the world being covered in trash. Therefore, based on the two reasons above, I claim that the environment will be harshly ruined due ti the rise in tourism.

Notwithstanding, I am of opinion that the growth in tourism gives plentiful benefits to people. First, the employment rates will rapidly skyrocket as more tourism-related jobs such as pilots, tour guides and flight attendants will be increasingly demanded. Second, the locals will intensely benefit from this, because they can open family-owned restaurants or hotels providing services, which affects them positively financially. Finally, the visitors themselves, especially the young, will be able to travel exclusively and frequently without worrying about the costs. They will have the chance to explore the wonders of the world as well as witness various countries' traditions and culture in practice. Hence, the experiences they obtain during the journeys will make them knowledgeable.

In conclusion, although the decrease in the costs of global touri is unfavorable, it is overshadowed by the strength humans get.
