 “USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.

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 sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden 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 succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics.

Chinese team first landed on the Antarctic icecap peak(南极冰盖最高点).

A 12-man Chinese team landed on January 18. They are the first people to reach the peak of Dome A(海穹A). It is 4039 meters above sea level(海拔).

The team built a station there to study the changes of the weather, to get ice samples(标本) from 150 meters to 200 meters below, and to do other studies. So far, the team has got nearly 100-meter-long ice samples from a place about 300 meters under the icecap peak.

It is the first time that people have been able to get samples from the icecap peak in Antarctic and it is very important for people to study the weather changes and environmental changes in this area(地区).

The Chinese scientists also built a weather study system(系统) at the peak. The system can send out information about temperature, how strong the wind is, and many other things about the weather.

The Antarctic icecap makes up (组成) 70% of the earth’s fresh water(淡水). By studying Dome A, scientists can get the lowest temperature of the earth and other information about the world’s weather changes.
