【1】词性转换。根据文章第一句Nowadays, studying abroad gains popularity in China.可知出国学习在中国越来越受欢迎。原句中使用的是名词popularity，而表格里需要的是形容词popular放在系动词is的后面形成系表结构。

【2】原词再现。根据第二段第三行it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second language than living in the country where it is spoken可知出国学习是提高外语的最好机会。

【3】根据第二段第二行he can use the foreign language in his daily life可知在国外，孩子可以每天都在使用英语和别人进行交流。

【4】同义词转换。根据文章第二段第4行he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world.中的from all over the world相当于from overseas。

【5】同义词转换。根据第二段倒数第二行He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the first rate facilities available.中的get familiar with可以使用know/learn进行替换。
