四、单元话题写作素材积累：
With the deepening of reform and opening up of our country，many people are considering going abroad
for further study.
However，there are still many people who favor studying at home. To begin with，studying abroad
costs them an arm and a leg. In addition，it’s easier to develop themselves in familiar surroundings.
Just as the saying goes，every coin has two sides. If the student has the chance and financial resources，
they should seize the opportunity to broaden their horizons. Otherwise，they should stay at home. What counts
is not where they study but what they can learn.
