The question · Advantages & disadvantages

More and more students are choosing to go abroad for their university studies. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

The student's essay (161 words)

Nowadays, many students decide to go to other countries for their higher study. In my opinion, the advantages of this trend is more than the disadvantages, although there are some problems. First of all, studying abroad give students a chance to get a better quality of education. For example, universities in the UK and Canada has modern laboratories and experienced teachers. Also, students can learn a new culture and improve their English skill because they must speak it everyday. This experience make them more independent and confident. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. The cost of studying abroad is very high and many family have to take loan. Moreover, some students feel lonely and homesick, which can effect their study. However, these problems can be solved by scholarship and making new friends. In conclusion, I believe that studying abroad has more benefits than drawbacks. Students get good education and life experience, so government should encourage them to do this.

Examiner's comment

You clearly understand the question and your opinion is easy to follow. The two things holding your score back are length and grammar accuracy. At about 160 words, the essay is too short to develop your ideas, so Task Response is limited to band 5. Fixing your subject-verb agreement alone would noticeably raise your grammar score.

আপনি প্রশ্নটি ভালোভাবে বুঝেছেন এবং আপনার মতামত সহজে বোঝা যায়। আপনার score আটকে রাখছে দুটি জিনিস: দৈর্ঘ্য এবং grammar-এর নির্ভুলতা। প্রায় ১৬০ শব্দে essay-টি idea develop করার জন্য খুব ছোট, তাই Task Response band 5-এ সীমিত। শুধু subject-verb agreement ঠিক করলেই আপনার grammar score চোখে পড়ার মতো বাড়বে।

Task Response

5 / 9

You give a clear opinion and mention both sides, but the essay is well under 250 words and each idea is only stated, not explained.

আপনার মতামত পরিষ্কার এবং দুই দিকই উল্লেখ করেছেন, কিন্তু essay-টি ২৫০ শব্দের অনেক কম এবং প্রতিটি idea শুধু বলা হয়েছে, ব্যাখ্যা করা হয়নি।

  • Your position is clear in the introduction and repeated in the conclusion.
  • You answer the actual question by comparing advantages with disadvantages.
  • Write at least 250 words: add one more sentence of explanation or an example to each body paragraph.
  • Explain why better laboratories matter to the student's future instead of only listing them.
  • Develop the solution to the cost problem: how do scholarships make the benefits worth it?

Coherence & Cohesion

6 / 9

The essay has a logical four-paragraph structure, but the linking words are mechanical and some ideas are joined without clear connection.

Essay-টির চার paragraph-এর গঠন যুক্তিসঙ্গত, কিন্তু linking word গুলো যান্ত্রিক এবং কিছু idea স্পষ্ট সংযোগ ছাড়াই জোড়া হয়েছে।

  • Each body paragraph has one clear topic: advantages, then disadvantages.
  • Replace list-style linkers (First of all, Also, Moreover) with sentences that show the relationship between ideas.
  • In paragraph 3, link the solution back to your opinion so the reader sees why the advantages still win.

  • Use more precise collocations: 'take out a loan', 'higher education'.

Nowadays, a growing number of students choose to complete their higher education in another country. In my opinion, the advantages of this trend are greater than the disadvantages, although it does bring some real challenges. The main benefit of studying abroad is access to a better quality of education. For example, universities in the UK and Canada have modern laboratories and experienced teachers, which means graduates are better prepared for competitive jobs. In addition, living in a new culture forces students to use English every day, so their language skills improve far faster than they would at home. This experience also makes them more independent and confident, qualities that employers value highly. On the other hand, studying abroad has clear drawbacks. The cost is extremely high, and many families have to take out large loans to pay for tuition and living expenses. Furthermore, some students feel lonely and homesick, which can affect their studies. However, these problems can be reduced. Scholarships can cover a large part of the cost, and most universities offer support services that help international students make friends and settle in. In conclusion, I believe that studying abroad offers more benefits than drawbacks. Students gain a high-quality education and valuable life experience, and the financial and emotional difficulties can be managed. Therefore, governments should support students who wish to study overseas, for example by offering more scholarships.
