    YES
    Graduates who have studied abroad can easily distinguish themselves from those who are at home in terms of the mastery of foreign languages, especially English. Studying and living in foreign countries have sharply improved the overseas returnees’ oral English, language proficiency as well as their communication skills. This advantage is extremely important and is greatly valued by today’s employers, especially international companies.
    Studying abroad can broaden one’s horizon, and enhance one’s understanding and tolerance of cultural diversity. During their college years, the overseas students may contact with people from different nations and cultural backgrounds. Thus they are often more adept at dealing with cross-cultural issues than college students at home.
    NO
    Not everyone who studies overseas can learn real skills. As people’s living standard has been improved very much, many students have the chance to study abroad. But not all of them treasure this chance. For some college students, when they go to a foreign country, what they like to do most is to play and have fun, not to study. When they return home, what they bring back is simply a diploma, but not the real skills. If the employers choose them only because of their diplomas, it will be unfair to the others.
    The knowledge from overseas does not always fit in our country. Even if the students who go abroad do learn some real skills, it does not mean that these skills and knowledge are completely suitable for the Chinese employers.

答案     Overseas Returnees Are Not Superior
    Studying abroad has become a popular trend in recent years. Many overseas students have become strong competitors in the job market after they return to China. There is no doubt that language skill is one of the distinctive advantages of overseas returnees. However, some people hold the opposite opinion. They claim that overseas study should not be always considered as an open sesame to a well-paid job since many youngsters merely regard the experience of studying abroad as a fabulous travel.
    In my opinion, in this ability-oriented society, practical skills and enriched knowledge of an employee should outweigh a diploma from a foreign college, even though I am convinced that overseas experience should be valued. It is wiser for employers to measure employees’ ability from a comprehensive perspective. One’s overall ability is comprised of many aspects, including teamwork, professionalism, leadership, integrity, respect for others, etc. They should all be taken into consideration. Or else, it is unfair to those who have not studied overseas. More importantly, cultures differ from one to another. It is quite commonplace to find that the overseas experience is not completely suitable for the Chinese circumstance.
    In conclusion, ability outweighs diploma in the job market. Overseas returnees are not superior to students who have studied at home.
