     Each year, many Chinese people go abroad because of all kinds of reasons. They are becoming younger
and younger year by year. Even some Chinese parents send their children to foreign countries when they are
only in a middle school. They think their children can get a wider view, less academic (学业) competition or
family honor. But life can be bad for young people there. At first, they have to face the culture differences
and language problems. However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克服). To best
children, controlling (管理) themselves well is a big challenge when studying alone in strange country.
     Yu Yang, a 15-year-old student from Guangdong Province studies in a high school in Toronto, Canada.
To his surprise, his teachers there seldom push students to study abroad. And usually there isn't too much
homework. Students have lots of free time to do the activities. Some of his friends spend their whole year's
money in the first two months of the new term. So they have to ask their parents for some more money.

happen to them. These are different from their original thoughts. So parents should think them over before
