Studying in America

What are the advantages of studying in America?


These days, almost everyone study English. It has become a global language. It is especially important for internal businesses. However, studying English is difficult. Where is the best place to study English? I completely recommend studying in America because it has the most advantages. There are three advantages such as correct English, opportunities, and culture.
The most important advantage above all is correct English. In America, teachers, tools, and media are better. First, the teachers are more professional than those in Taiwan. Moreover, English is their first language, so their grammar and pronunciation are better than the teachers in Taiwan. Most of the teachers in America have a certificate. For example, if I make a grammar or pronunciation mistake, they will give me correct feedback quickly. Second, studying tools here are good for studying English. Therefore, they use English textbooks to teach us and limit us to use only the English dictionary in class. Third, there is media such as movies, TV, and radio in English. Sometimes I like to go to watch movies, so I can study English in movies. While watching TV you can set the subtitles to English to memorize vocabulary. Listening to the radio can not only help you adapt to native English, but also you can hear correct pronunciation.
The second advantage is equally important as the first one, while in America, students have the many opportunities to use English. In America, you have a lot of opportunities to use English such as to take trips, to make friends, and to take tests. First of all, taking trips give us many opportunities to use English. For example, in the restaurant we must use English to order food. Furthermore, checking into the hotel also requires English. In addition, we can make America friends easier. Moreover, in school we have conversation class to meet academy students. Therefore, if we make American friends, we can practice English conversation with those friends. Finally, we have chances to use English for tests. Besides, all of tests are in English such as those for driver’s licenses, certificates, and Toefl exam. Above all, in America we have advantage to take paper Toefl, but in my country we just can take iBT Toefl.
The third important advantage is that we can study English by studying American culture. To begin with, during the holidays we can join their activities to understand American culture and learn English. In America, there are traditional holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloweens. During these days, we can join their parties and learn new vocabulary. Second, we study American culture to prepare for jobs. Therefore, understanding their culture makes it easies to get a job because you know what companies are looking for. For instance, if you know their culture, you will pass the interview easier because you know what kind of employee they are looking for. Third, learning American culture is fun that it helps me enjoy learning English. I am interested in America culture, so I study English in America.
In conclusion, I really think studying in America has the most advantages. The most important ones among those advantages are studying correct English, taking opportunities, and learning culture. If you want to get a job in international business, you need to study global language in America. Don’t you want to study America, too?
