问题     Studying English in an English-speaking country is the best but not the only way to learn the language. Do you agree?

选项

答案     Studying a language in a country where it is widely spoken has many advantages. It is, therefore, a good idea to study English in a country such as Australia. However, I believe it is not the only way to learn the language.
    In the first place, most students in non-English speaking countries learn English at secondary school, and some even at university nowadays. Although their spoken English is not usually of a very high standard, their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced. This is certainly useful when students come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language.
    Secondly, studying the basics of English at secondary school is less stressful than learning the language while overseas. This is because students living at home do not have to worry about problems such as finding accommodation, paying for their study and living costs, and trying to survive in a foreign country where day-to-day living causes much stress.
    However, there are obvious advantages of learning English in an English-speaking country. Every day there are opportunities to practice listening to and speaking with native speakers. Also, students can experience the culture first-hand, which is a great help when trying to understand the language. This is especially true if they choose to live with native speakers, as part of a homestay family, for example. Furthermore, if students attend a language school full-time, the teachers are native speakers. In this case, not only will students improve speaking and listening skills, but attention can be paid to developing reading and writing skills as well.
    In general, even though it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country, a reasonable level of English can be achieved in one’s own country, if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.
