If you’re thinking about studying abroad,but aren’t sure how to convince your parents or yourself,here are some of the best reasons why spending a semester or year overseas is a smart and fun thing to do.
　1　 Want to impress potential employers?Companies around the world continue to invest in the global market,and prefer to hire employees who have international experience.Not to mention the knowledge of a second language.Your resume(简历) will stand out from everyone else applying for the same position. 
Learn foreign languages.Language teachers say being immersed(沉浸) in a culture that speaks the language you want to learn is the quickest and most effective way to learn it.　2　 As globalization brings the world together,it’s important to be competent in more than one language. 
Experience different cultures.Immersing yourself in a totally different culture is powerful.You’ll experience things like trying different foods,celebrating traditional customs,and learning the history of another country.A person’s culture reflects beliefs and values that influence their way of life.　3　 
Expand your worldview.Previously held beliefs about foreign countries will change once you’ve been abroad.　4　 It can be surprising just how much you know is slightly biased(有偏见的),based on where you’re from.It’s also a unique opportunity to educate others on your country! 
Earn money!　5　 English is the international language of business.It’s an important language that many foreigners want to learn.You can get paid for teaching,interpreting,or translating English while you’re studying abroad. 
A.Discover what you want out of life.
B.Improve employment opportunities.
