6、學(xué)的費(fèi)用是昂貴的。具體來說，這些人不得不花費(fèi)一大筆錢在學(xué)費(fèi)和生活費(fèi)上，而這并不是每個(gè)人都負(fù)擔(dān)得起的。此外，對(duì)于那些缺乏獨(dú)立生活能力的學(xué)生來說，出國(guó)留學(xué)是一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。如果他們不能照顧好自己，他們的學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)將在很大程度上受到影響。最后但并非最不重要，出國(guó)留學(xué)可能會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)生的心理產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響。眾所周知，出國(guó)留學(xué)等于長(zhǎng)時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)離家人和朋友，這很可能使留學(xué)生產(chǎn)生一些心理問題，如孤僻和沮喪。綜上所述，我們不難得出以下結(jié)論：出國(guó)留學(xué)的缺點(diǎn)是不能忽視的。更重要的是，那些計(jì)劃出國(guó)留學(xué)的學(xué)生應(yīng)該為解決這些問題做好充足的準(zhǔn)備。只有這樣，他們才能有一個(gè)豐富多彩且成功的留學(xué)生活。2018年12月英語四級(jí)真題作文:大城市
