Dear friends，
I'd like to share my suggestions about studying with you. "Studying" is not the same thing as "doing homework"! Studying may include doing homework，but it also includes a lot more, as you will see. So if you say that you have no homework，and therefore you can't or you don't have to study, you're mistaken!
I am going to give you some suggestions on how to study efficiently. They worked for me when I was in the high school and college.
Not only that, but they also worked equally well for me in literature and math.
Although everyone's learning style may be different，and some of my suggestions may not
work for you, I still ask you to try them. A lot of successful students have used them.
Please send me suggestions about studying that work for you. I will try to include them into the further version of this guide.
Here are some of my suggestions:
A. Manage your time.
B. Take notes in class and rewrite them at home.
C. Study hard and study in a quiet place.
D. Read texts actively and slowly. Do it before and after class.
E. Finish your homework by yourself.
F. Do not only study for exams.
Yours,
Emma

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China.
