Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term, one summer, or a year. Studying oversea (海外) can be an exciting experience for many people.

Why do it

Living in another country can help you to learn a language, and about another culture. You will see the world in a new way, and learn more about yourself. Overseas study may also look good on your future resume (履历). Many companies today want employees (雇员) who speak a second language, or have experienced living or working in another country.

Making the right choice

Once you decide to study overseas, you have to make some choices. To choose the right country or school, ask yourself: Where do I want to go and why? How much do I want to pay? How long do I want to study overseas? Do I want to live with roommates or alone?

Getting ready to go

Get your passport and visa early! Before you go, learn some of the language, and read about some common customs (礼仪) in the country that you are going to. Learn bout the money. Bring some of it, and a credit card (信用卡) with you.

Once you are there

After the few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little homesick (相思). They may miss their family, friends, and familiar ways of doing things. Remember that it takes you some time to get used to a new place, school and culture. When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write about you feelings in a notebook.

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a "Happy Ad" in our local newspaper. There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was _______ her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to _______ it. It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her ______. So I did. I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.

A week or so later, someone _______ at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep. He introduced himself _______ the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for ______ such a nice card to his mom. Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite _______ to receive mine. I just didn't know ______ to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, ______ to this lovely old lady in the nursing home.
