Question 11 • Literacy and Comprehension B (WHS)

“While I think learning a new language is one of the most exciting things about going abroad, I know many people would appreciate the comfort of easy communication while they are trying to adapt to a new culture in a place far from home. If this describes your personality, don’t worry! Two of the most popular study abroad destinations are Great Britain and Australia. These are so popular that many American universities have academic partnerships with prominent universities in both countries. These partnerships often allow you to matriculate as a student at the foreign university for little more than you would pay in tuition at home! This makes both Great Britain and Australia attractive options for budget conscious travelers, as well as a good choice for students who do not want to worry about language barriers on their trip.” Identify the argument and counterargument in the paragraph.

Answer

Answer:

Argument: Great Britain and Australia are attractive study abroad choices because they are affordable and do not present language barriers for many American students. Counterargument: Some people think learning a new language is one of the most exciting parts of studying abroad.
