Question 20
Task: 'Do you think staying in another country and experiencing its language and culture adds to a young person's education? Why or why not?' Write the opening paragraph and one supporting paragraph (about 80 words).
[6 marks]
(a)Write your paragraphs.
Show answerHide answer
In my opinion, living in another country adds a great deal to a young person's education. Although books and maps can teach us facts, they cannot replace real experience. First of all, students learn how people live, for instance what they eat and how families behave. Moreover, they absorb some of the language by watching television and reading street signs.
