Essay - What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a foreign country? TOEFL
Hi everyone, Thanks for all your help and support so far.
Please help me with the following essay.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a foreign country? Give reasons and examples to support you argument.
Sometimes for work or education, we have to move to other country. Leaving home and living in a different country has its own benefits and drawbacks. In this essay I have mentioned both the advantages and disadvantages in following paragraphs.
There are various advantages of living in a foreign country like you get to learn new language, new culture and meet new people. For example when I moved to United States, I have to learn English and Spanish to communicate with locals. So learning new language is even helpful in my career growth. I also like the big feast that Americans have on Thanks Giving. There was also a big sale on Thanksgiving which I loved as being a big shopping freak. Moreover, I made few american friends. We often go for Hiking and Skiing. I love to hangout with them. I am very extrovert and l am enjoying my stay in USA 7000 miles away from my own land.
But on the other hand, there are some down sides also. When you are in a foreign country, you miss your family, relatives and friends. Also, you miss being part of all the cultural festivals which are celebrated in your country. For instance, in our country, we celebrate "Holi" which is a very colorful festival. So this year, as I am in United States, I miss celebrating "Holi" with my family, and I also miss playing with my brother and chatting with my grand mother.
In my experience, I think that living in a foreign country has more positive sides. As far as family and friends are concerned, in this world of internet, we can be in regular touch with the family. Also, as the old adage "to gain something, you have to lose something", likewise you have to sacrifice the enjoyment with family and friends in your own country to have better career growth in a foreign country.

But what is your specialty? You wrote: "I'll leave that to someone else, as that's not really my specialty." - it should be about writing?
