    LOOK AT THE ESSAY, MAKE A MINDMAP (follow the guideline below)

    You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic:
    These days, more and more people are going to other countries for significant
    periods of time, either to find a job or to study. There are clearly many benefits to
    doing this, but people who live abroad can also face some difficulties.
    Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living and working in a foreign
    country. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from
    your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

    Nowadays, taking a year out to live or study abroad is becoming increasingly


    popular. For many people, especially young adults, the chance to spend an
    extended period of time overseas is an attractive one. However, there are both pros
    and cons to deciding to do this. In this essay, I will discuss some of the reasons
    why moving abroad is so popular and some of the challenges to be overcome.
    Let's begin by looking at the advantages of moving away. One of the main
    positives of heading overseas is that it broadens your horizons. What I mean by
    this is that you have the chance to meet people from different cultural backgrounds
    and learn to cope with foreign customs and food which can make you more
    rounded as a person.
    Secondly, moving abroad can lead to a better quality of life. Take British
    people for example. Thousands of people from the UK move to Spain and
    Australia every year. These countries have warmer climates and encourage a better
    work-life balance. In addition, living overseas has been considered as the best
    opportunity for the learners to gain qualifications and language skills, which may
    improve promotion prospects on their return.
    Turning to the other side of the argument, culture shock is a major p roblem.
    Many people who take a year out find it hard to cope with the language barrier, the
    food and general cultural differences. This often leads to homesickness and in
    some cases a sense of isolation.
    Another issue is that it can be difficult to start a new life from scratch. In
    other words, when you move abroad, you have to make new friends and find your
    place in the community. This process takes time and can be especially challenging
    if there is also a language barrier to deal with.
    All things considered, starting life in a foreign country is never easy. You
    need to weigh up the pros of the better lifestyle, weather and so on, and the cons of
    culture shock and language barrier. Personally, I believe the benefits in terms of
    personal growth eventually outweigh any negatives
