Essay:
My experience studying in Moscow influences me very much

Studying, living in a different country for a period is a good way to deeply understand the culture of the exact nation. When I studied in Moscow I started a new life there as a real Moscow resident. To go to the theater, to eat a lot of potatoes, to go skating, to have a picnic, to visit St. Peterburg and Egypt are all my habits, experiences there. Therefore, I have gotten to know what people living in Moscow do in leisure time. Except for those, they may do nothing else in winter because the weather is freezing lasting for about 6 months. On my points of view, it is extremely boring to stay at home for 6 months each year; however, to locals, the weather does not bother them at all.

Rather than thinking on our own, seeing issues on a variant view is more than importance. A German friend had asked me, "what is the difference between you Taiwan and mainland China?" On account of never considering this before, I was stunned and could not think of any words to specifically describe our distinction. Since then, I figured out that there can be other views toward one minor thing in many people's eyes. As a result, making friends from other countries and treating their ideas more open-minded can not be overemphasized. Moreover, we are living in an ever-changing world; consequently, it is better that we know tips to adapt to dissimilarity because we may someday work with people from other countries.

It has become almost essential to get a degree in another country. Like an international trend, students fly far away to other countries to attend schools. In this global village, along with the coming of "knowledge outburst era" we are not only working with but competing with people from all of the world. If we miss the information it is likely that we will miss the chance to get a better job, that we might not have the common topics with friends or people around you. Therefore, knowing ways to attain fresh knowleges on variant coutries' platforms is as well as a big subject to take right now. After all, none of us is willing to fall behind one another, inside or ouside our countries.

From my experience studying outside my country, I would like to say that studying abroad never does us bad. It enables us to realize more cultures, learn the advantages and avoid disadvantage of theirs; it makes our and others' diverse points resonalbe because we acquire a variety of notions to one issue; it empowers us to be hard to defeat so that we possess strengths to get promoted. Thence, those three items tells why so many students accept education in other countries and why it is so important to study abroad.
