    More Shun National College Entrance Exam to Go Abroad
    Education Ministry figures show that about 10 percent of, or more than 1 million, high school graduates did not take the gaokao in each of the past five years. About 20 percent of high school graduates in some top schools in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have chosen to study overseas, according to the ministry. This resulted in the Chinese student population abroad rising to 400,000 in 2013, and the figure is continuing to increase, the ministry said.
    Special classes for students applying to universities overseas have become common at schools nationwide to help them prepare for the TOEFL and SAT US admissions tests. Agencies that help students who want to study abroad said the summer used to be a busy time as those with disappointing gaokao results sought places overseas, but this is no longer the case.
    Teng Zheng, deputy general manager of Shanghai CIIC Education International, said, "Students no longer only regard overseas education as an alternative if they fail the gaokao. Instead, it’s becoming some people’s first choice."
    Over the past few years there have been attempts to reform the gaokao system in response to complaints that it is not a scientific way to measure students’ academic performance and abilities.
选项
答案 Not Advisable for High School Graduates to Study Overseas China has witnessed an increasing population of high school graduates to study overseas. Unlike what used to be considered the alternative for students with disappointing gaokao results, studying abroad has become the first option for many high school graduates, because they believe that the gaokao system is an unscientific way to measure their academic performance and abilities. In spite of the popularity of studying overseas, I do not think it is a good option for high school students. First and foremost, these students may find it difficult to fit in their school lives in a totally new country. For one thing, a pass in a language test does not mean that they can fully understand what their teachers say in class. This as a result, will adversely affect their academic lives or even discourage them from pursuing knowledge. For another, high school students hardly have the opportunities of speaking a foreign language before going abroad; thus they may find it difficult to make themselves understood, let alone making friends with the locals. Besides, students may be led astray while studying in a foreign country without the families’ company. Many of them are not able to tell right from wrong. Without the guidance of their families, they may go astray easily. To conclude, I maintain that overseas education is not a good option for high school graduates.
