每個人都應該有一段留學經歷？——留學的10個理由

1. It’ll look good on your CV

If you can explore a new country at the same time as picking up the international skills to gain a decent graduate job, then that’s pretty good going.

給你的簡歷增添光彩

你即可以探索一個新的國度，同時也可以獲得新的國際化技能，畢業後能找到更加體面的工作。留學真的是一個不錯的選擇。

2. Brush up on your language skills

Remember the foreign language skills you picked up in school? No, me neither. Refresh them by studying abroad; you might be surprised at how much you remember.

加強你的語言技能

你是不是已經忘記自己在學校學過的語言技能了？我也忘了。留學可以讓你把這些技能重新撿起來，你會被自己驚豔到哦！

3. Meet a diverse range of people

Your exposure to many different types of people will not only help you to develop your people skills, but it will also give you a firmer knowledge of others, both friend and foe.

遇到不同的人

你會遇到不同類型的人，既能提升你的人際交往能力，也能讓你更好地瞭解別人，不管是朋友還是敵人。

4. Study and learn differently

Often those studying abroad will experience a completely new way of teaching. This can be daunting, but it will also open your mind to new ways of learning.

新的學習方式

出國留學，你將會體驗不同的教學方式。你可能會困惑，但是新的教學方式會開啓你的心智，讓你掌握新的學習方法。

5. Gain independence

It’s not easy being independent, but it’s also a heck of a lot better than living with your parents as a 20-something.

變得獨立

獨立並不簡單——但是作爲一個20多歲的成年人，獨立總好過與父母同住。

6. You’ll gain a greater knowledge of different cultures

Cultural sensitivity isn’t just a quality which politicians may be accused of lacking; it’s also something you can develop while studying abroad!

體驗新的文化

很多人都缺乏文化敏感度——這正是你可以通過留學獲取到的。

7. See your own culture through a new lens

It’s easy to accept your own culture as absolute, but living in another country can help inform your point of view on your home culture, allowing you to develop your own views rather than simply accepting those defined by where happen to come from.

從不同角度審視你自己的文化
接受自己的文化是容易的，但是在異國生活可以幫助你增強對自己文化的瞭解，讓你對自己的文化有新的認識，而不是一味接受他人的定義。

8. You’ll appreciate your home and family more

Any memories of parental arguments or sibling rivalry will pale in comparison to your memories of how amazing they are. (Likewise, they’ll have time to forget about all your less attractive attributes too…) When you get back these relationships will look so much stronger!

你會更加感激你的家庭和家人

你會忘記和父母的爭吵，和兄弟姐妹的對抗，相反，你會開始意識到他們對你有多好。（同樣的，他們也會忘記你的缺點……）當你學成歸國，你們的關係會更加親密。

9. Increase your international job prospects

While you can always go home at the end of your time as an international student, many choose to stay put and apply for a working visa. Even if you return home or decide to seek work elsewhere, the international experience provided by studying abroad is likely to be looked on favorably by employers.

增加你的就業前景

畢業後，有的留學生會選擇回國，有的則會選擇留下，申請工作簽證。不論你是回國還是去其他地方工作，一段出國留學的國際化經歷，會讓你在僱主眼中更受青睞。

10. Because “variety is the spice of life”

It might be something your dad says when opting for a different flavor of crisps at the supermarket, but it’s true; change, variety and new experiences are what make life worth living. Mix it up a bit: study abroad!

多元化是生活的調味劑

這句話，可能你爸爸在超市挑選不同口味的薯條時也說過，但它確實千真萬確。改變，多元性和新的體驗讓生活變得更有價值。把他們結合起來：去留學吧！
