Studying locally and studying abroad
No1) "Studying adroa is better than studying in local universities." Do you agree with the statement? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In Malaysia, there are many local universities that have a good quality and students have a variety of choice that they can choose. In my opinion, I disagree that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. This is because studying in local universities can save the cost and it is as good as universities abroad while students who study abroad are exposed to culture shock and they will not have communication barrier.

First, studying in local universities can save the cost compared to studying in universities abroad. The different countries have different currency rate. Usually, when we convert our currency to other's currency, our value will become smaller. So, we need more money to study abroad. The students need a lot of money to pay a fee if studying abroad compared to studying in local.as the further the country is from our country, the higher the price of flight ticket is. So, much money is needed to buy the flight ticket to and fro. If they are in emergency cases, they cannot go home immediately because they have no money to buy flight.

Next, local universities also provided the qualified lecturers including lecturers who from overseas. All the lecturers are hired based on their experiences which must be at least 5 years in education field. Furthermore, most of the academic programs are received full accreditation from Malaysian Qualifications Agency who formerly known as National Accreditation Council. Thus, our local universities actually have the capability in producing many successful students like doctors, teachers, bankers, lawyers, architects, and others.

After that,studying in local universities can avoid our children from culture shock .As if they are in overseas,they have to get used with the new environment and cultures.If they cannot assimilate to the foreing

    In this poem Simon Armitage shows he is not yet ready to leave his mother by saying ''mother. any distance grater than a single span requires a second pair of hands'' this second pair of hands he requires are his mothers therefore telling us he still needs his mother. shows his anxieties about leaving home by the way he talks about the way he talks about the tape measure, ''You at the zero-end, me with the spool'' he talks about the tape measure as if it were the umbilical cord which at birth attached him to his mother, this relates to his anxieties about leaving home because the first anxieties what he and his mother faced were at birth when they first became their own person and were separated, this is related to his anxieties now since he is being separated by his mother by a further distance than the first time which is why he talks about the measuring tape and them measuring ''acres of walls'' as an acre is a huge distance which gives an impression of vast empty spaces. Armitage refers a lot to distances, this is not only because of the fact they are physically measuring stuff but he knows that the distance between their physical closeness has gotten greater and it is as if he is measuring the distance between him and his mother. Armitage uses a metaphor to explain the relationship between him and his mother ''unreeling years between us. anchor. kite.'' he is saying his mother is the anchor and he is the kite, and his mother was what was keeping him to the ground and he is scared if this anchor disappears he will fly away, in other words his mother was keeping him right and he is scared he is going to do wrong since he is now independent. When Armitage uses the term ''space-walk'' this gives us an impression on how empty the house is as space is a huge and uninhabited place, when he says ''to fly or fall'' this demonstrates his anxieties that he may not be able to survive on his own without care and help from his mother as he has always…

    However, this is an assumption. According to Cleary’s article, there are indeed glaring disadvantages to studying abroad. Firstly, the cost of pursuing higher education overseas is very high. In Australia, the cost alone for an undergraduate degree for international students range from $15k-$30k annually as compared to its fees for local students at $7k-$10k. This is not even including the cost of living the student would incur overseas. The significantly higher fees for international students is definitely a huge factor of how studying abroad may not be the ideal choice for everyone. Furthermore, governments and institutions are starting to implement policies to ensure that local universities still appeal to their locals. This can be seen by student exchange programmes set up where students get to experience education in a different country for one or two semesters while still paying local university fees. Also, most governments subsidise their local students, like in Australia, where the government has schemes called “Higher Education Loan Programme” and “Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support”, which gives out loans to local students and offer subsidies from the government…

    On the contrary, every student can’t afford to study in foreign country. Also not every student will have the interest to study in a foreign university. If coercively such students are made to study in a foreign university, then there is serious threat to the university’s reputation as these students will dabble in their internship. These students will not learn anything new and also will harm the company’s reputation. This is the case for an iota of students.…

    Firstly is the advantage of learning in our country is cheap and affordable costs are as low priority fees to local students. This is due to many students choose universities that offer low fees because they can not afford to fund the study. This is shown by Malaysia because Malaysia is not experiencing a seasonal climate and this will add value in terms of financial savings to students because they do not need different clothes according to the season at home in Malaysia. (Professor Badaruddin Mohamed, 2009). It also is in Malaysia, the government has allocated a total of RM232.8 billion for the implementation of all development and welfare of the people. (Prime Minister Dato 'Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, 2008). Then ,low – income families is the vast majority of low-income parents today are working but still struggling to make ends meet: struggling to find and keep a toehold in a changing labor market, to keep up with their bills, to pay the spiraling costs of essentials like health care and housing, and to raise children with a chance of future success. These families have much in common with other American families as they seek to balance work and family life, yet parents and children in low-income families are more financially vulnerable than those in higher-income families.( Annie E. Casey,2005).…

    To start with, the first and foremost advantage of studying abroad is the constant use of the particular language which has been opted by one. No institution in one’s country can be better than this. For instance, if I have opted for English and I go to America for my further education, my decision will be considered the most favourable for me because daily I will be conversing in English which will further increase my fluency, pronunciation and even my vocabulary. I will be getting more confident and it won’t look like a second language. Then another great advantage is that as I will mix up with the society and culture, I’ll become a part of it and then would not feel lonely, insecure or unattended.…
