II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A,B,C, or D.
Write your answer (A,B,C or D) on the answer sheet.
STUDYING ABROAD
Before applying to a foreign university, one should consider the disadvantages of studying abroad.
First, a student may feel lonely by being far from home and friends. Also, difficulty in understanding a
foreign language can be very disappointing and can affect the student’s grades. It can be very expensive to
pay the costs of travel and housing in a different country. Finally, if there is an emergency at home, it will
be hard to get home in a hurry.

However, studying in another country is advantageous in many ways. A student is exposed to a
new culture. This culture teaches him or her about other people and other ways of thinking, which can
promote friendships among countries. He can learn a new language which may be beneficial for keeping
up with research after the student has finished studying. He can learn experience not available in his
country. The student may also get the opportunity to study at a university where a leading expert in his
field may be teaching. The leading expert can introduce the student to the most up-to-date findings of the
top researchers in the field. Exposure to such available knowledge and insights into the field can aid the
student in becoming an expert as well.
1 ______ to study abroad.
A. There are only disadvantages
B. There are only advantages
C. There are both advantages and disadvantages
D. There are neither advantages nor
disadvantages
2 When studying abroad, a student ______.
A. is homesick and feels lonely
B. spends a lot of money for accommodation and transportation

A. has no advantages
B. enriches his knowledge about people and other ways of thinking
