Studying English in an English-speaking country is the best but not the only way to learn the language. Do you agree?
英语范文
Studying a language in a country where it is widely spoken has many advantages. It is, therefore, a good idea to study English in a country such as Australia. However, I believe it is not the only way to learn the language.
In the first place, most students in non-English speaking countries learn English at middle school, and some even at university nowadays. Although their spoken English is not usually of a very high standard, their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced. This is certainly useful when students come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language.
Secondly, studying the basics of English at secondary school is less stressful than learning the language while overseas. This is because students living at home do not have to worry about problems such as finding accommodation, paying for their study and living costs, and trying to survive in a foreign country where day-to-day living causes much stress.
However, there are obvious advantages of learning English in Australia. Every day there are opportunities to practice listening to and speaking with Australians. Also, students can experience the culture first-hand, which is a great help when trying to understand the language. This is especially true if they choose to live with Australians, as part of a homestay family, for example. Furthermore, if students attend a language school full-time, the teachers will be native speakers. In this case, not only will students improve speaking and listening skills, but attention can be paid to developing reading and writing skills as well.
In general, even though it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country, a reasonable level of English can be achieved in one's own country, if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.
题目：
在讲英语的国家学习英语是最好的但并非惟一的学习语言的方式。你同意这种观点吗？
译文：
在一个广泛使用这种语言的国家来学习这门语言具备诸多优势。因此，在这样一个国家比如澳大利亚学习英语就是一个很好的主意。然而我相信，这并不是惟一学习英语的方式。
首先，非英语国家的大多数学生从中学时代开始学习英语，而现今甚至有些学生从大学时代才开始。尽管他们的口语通常并不具备很高的水平，但是他们的语法知识却相当深厚。这对学生们到讲英语的国家去完善语言当然是非常有用的。
其次，学生们在中学学习基础英语的压力要比在国外学习这门语言小很多。这是因为学生们住在家里并不需要担心诸如找宿舍、承担他们学习和日常生活的开销等问题。而在国外生存日常生活方面会有很大的压力。
但是，在澳大利亚学习英语有明显的优势。每天都有机会和澳大利亚人练习听力和口语。此外，学生们能够亲身体验文化，这对试图了解一门语言有很大的帮助。如果他们能同澳大利亚人住在一起，例如，作为寄宿家庭的一部分，这一点尤为正确。再者，如果学生能参加全日制语言学校，教师将会是以英语为母语的人。在这种情况下，不仅学生们听说技能可以得到提高，而且也能注意提高阅读和写作技巧。
一般来说，尽管在说英语的国家学习英语更为可取，但如果一个学生有天赋并且努力学习，那么他在自己国家依旧可以使英语达到尚好的水平。
