Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries. Recent research shows among 428 middle school students in Shanghai, nearly half of them would like to study abroad.
"Chinese children are eager to go abroad to get a wider view, less academic (学业) competition or even family honour,"said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who has lived in the US for 16 years. "But life in foreign countries can be hard for young people."
"We have to face the culture shock and language problems," said Hong Guang, a Chinese student in London.
However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克服). To most children, controlling themselves when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge.
Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student from Shanghai, entered high school in Melbourne, Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom pushed students to study. And usually there wasn't much homework.
Some of his friends spent their whole year's money in the first two months of the new term.
"Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages quickly and broaden their minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges," Chen said.

What does the research tell us? 46 Chinese students expect to go abroad to get a wide view, less academic competition or 47 To study alone in a foreign country, students have to both face the culture shock and language problems and 48 Students in Australia have more free time because there is 49 What's the article mainly about? 50

书面表达范文：
1. Dear Jack,
Welcome to China! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here. Most of all, you'll find Chinese food especially tasty. Chinese people are good at cooking and hospitable as well. Rice, noodles and steamed bread are the main foods here. We don't eat much bread, but don't worry, you still can buy it in supermarkets. It might take you some time to learn to use chopsticks. But it's great fun, I bet. If you are invited to dinner at a friend's house, eat as much as you can. This will greatly please the host.
Peking Duck and hot pot are my favourites. While you are in Beijing, don't miss them! Also, try some dumplings. That's totally Chinese!
OK. So much for now. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Love,
Li Ming
2. With development of a modern society, great changes have happened to our natural environment. It's being polluted day by day. It's a must for us to take some action to deal with the problems. Here are some of my ideas to improve our environment.
First, we must stop factories sending dirty water into the rivers and stop people littering around rivers and lakes because clean water on the earth is running out. We must also try our best to save water. Ways should be found to recycle water. Second, taking subways or buses to work should be encouraged. The fewer people drive cars to work, the cleaner the air will be. Third, more trees should be planted to help hold water in the soil and make the air cleaner and fresher. Finally, endangered animals should be protected to make our world complete.
In a word, we must pay more attention to environmental protection because we have only one earth as our home.
