Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and Japan. “Chinese children hope very much to go 36 to get a wider view (视野) of the world,” said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who has lived in America for 16 years. In a talk Chen told more than 300 parents and their children that life in foreign countries can be 37 for young people. “ They have to meet a culture shock (冲突) and language problems.” However, these are not the most difficult things. To most children, looking after themselves when studying alone in a foreign country is a big 38 . Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student began to study in a high school in Sydney, Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there 39 pushed students to study. And 40 there wa ’t homework. “ With these education systems (体制), we have more 41 time and more ace for thinking,” said Zhang. “ But if you don’t know how to 42 your time and money, you will not have an easy time.” Some of his friends ent their whole year’s money in the first two months of the term, and they didn’t pa their exams. “Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign language 43 and broaden(拓宽) their minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges,” Chen said. “ 44 you want to study abroad, try to talk to someone with 45 in foreign countries.
