1）目前很多中國(guó)學(xué)生出國(guó)留學(xué)，
2）出國(guó)留學(xué)的好處，
3）我的看法。
Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. Importance should be attached to studying abroad.
There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.
參考譯文：
目前，出國(guó)留學(xué)在年輕人中間非常流行。我們應(yīng)該充分重視留學(xué)問(wèn)題。
出國(guó)留學(xué)有很多好處。首先，國(guó)外生活和學(xué)習(xí)為學(xué)生提供了一個(gè)看待世界的不同視角。在大學(xué)校園中，國(guó)際學(xué)生很可能遇到來(lái)自不同國(guó)家和地區(qū)的同伴，并且面臨迥異的觀念和價(jià)值。此外，海外經(jīng)歷是外語(yǔ)在實(shí)際生活運(yùn)用的時(shí)機(jī)。沒(méi)有什么比住在母語(yǔ)國(guó)家提高第二外語(yǔ)技能的更好機(jī)會(huì)了。
總之，我認(rèn)為盡管出國(guó)留學(xué)很昂貴，并且可能會(huì)痛苦，但這種付出是值得的。首先，除了知識(shí)之外，留學(xué)生可以獲得留在國(guó)內(nèi)的學(xué)生永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法獲得的寶貴經(jīng)驗(yàn)。其次，盡管留學(xué)經(jīng)歷可能使人沮喪痛苦，然而這對(duì)年輕人的成長(zhǎng)是有益的。
