问题     Thanks to the information technology as well as the spirit of free sharing, some well-known universities abroad have already put open classes on the Internet, so that thousands of miles away here in China we can have world-class learning experience. It is becoming a new trend to stay home to study abroad, and many white-collar workers also use it as one of the ways to learn English. Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:

    In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.

答案                         Stay Home to Study Abroad
    When it comes to studying abroad, what conies to your mind besides mixed feelings toward prestigious universities and sky-high costs? Some Gothic library hall, or a space of your own? A pricy educational loan which overburdens you and your whole family, or a small Internet access fee that comes with free long distance calls? Hearing parents’ voice on monthly basis through phone calls from across the oceans, or jumping on the next bus straightly heading back home every time you are aching for mom’s special dishes? To those who stand between expensive oversea studies and a hard place, the Internet as well as the sharing of network resources comes to their rescue: you don’t have to leave your room to study abroad—this is not joking. In fact, there are plenty of people who have already done that by signing up the "home boarding school". Now that some of the most renowned universities have had videos of their courses made available online, thousands of miles away here in China we can have the world-class learning experience.
    Staying home to study abroad is sweeping across college students and white-collar workers alike in China, not least because of individuals’ understanding that they can have fun by learning, and they can study well beyond the ivy towers. Staying home to study abroad is by far the easiest way to study, with freedom to call your own shots, pick the courses you want, cut loose whenever you feel like, and most importantly, it is free. As long as you have an Internet access and a computer, you can get almost the same experience as attending the class in person—only with a better seat and less noise. Its success is measured in a way by finding yourself on this journey of self-motivated exploration.
    It is, however, not always bliss—a house studying environment can be an invitation to interruption by the family members or friends. And often it is very difficult to resist temptations like to check the email inbox or click all those glittering buttons on the websites and see what they lead to. But successful bedroom-based boarding students have found balance between their virtual studies and real-life ones. They’ve learned to control the everyday chaos that invariably tries to seep into the at-home online studying. They’ve realized that it is not so much worth fighting as it is the beauty of home boarding. The learning is motivated by curiosity and passion. It is in throwing in the mouse, in abandoning boring lectures and in hanging with friends that lays the reason why they love doing it in the first place.
