As we know, nowadays many students go abroad to study, and today I would like to talk about the three main reasons why I think students study abroad. The are: improving their English skills, staying a developed country, and increasing their fields of vision.

First of all, most students study abroad in order to improve their English level. As we know, English is the common language for the world; therefore, many people try to learn English. Although many countries, in which their first language is not English, teach their people English in the public schools, most people still want to study English at other English countries. They want to have a good environment in which they must use English all the time, such as: listening or watching to English TV programs, and speaking to native people with English.

The second reason is that some students choose to study in more developed countries. Because there are some countries that still have not improved their education systems such as, Africa, some wealthy people may send their children to other counties in which children can learn knowledge from great techniques. Also, when those children finish their study in other countries, they may suggest their governments to use education systems, which they have seen or learned from foreigners. Because of that, when people have a good education, they will be able to improve the quality of their life.

Finally, most students study abroad in order to increase their fields of vision. In the world, every country has its customs. For example, Japanese are famous for their politeness and Native Americans have their own life-styles. If people can have a chance have a chance to study abroad, they not only can know about some countries' customs. When people have met a lot of foreigners and learned some knowledge form them, people can have an ability to increase their thinking since they are not limited by only living in one place.
