Drill 1 Which of the two answers below is probably
more accurate as a response to the following question? How can you improve it? Would
you like to stay in a foreign country for a year or visit all continents during
your high-school sophomore year?
Answer
A: I would like to stay in a foreign country for a year rather than visit all
continents during my sophomore year in my high school. There are two reasons.
First, I would like to study English overseas so that I can get a higher score
in the college admissions test. To be fluent in a language, it takes time.
Therefore, I need to stay in an English-speaking country for at least a year.
Second, I want to make friends with people in a foreign country. Friendship
takes time to build. Thus, I would choose a one-year stay.
Answer B: If I stay in a foreign country for a year, I would be able to learn
the culture and the language well. I may also be able to become very close to the
people there. If lucky, the country would be my second home. On the other hand,
if I visit all continents in a year, I would be familiar with a variety of climate
types and societies. I would choose the latter because I want to see the world
first, and then think about whether to stay in a foreign country for a long
time and which country I should stay if I do it later.
