(5 points each)Life Abroad Can Be ChallengingThere are many great advantages to being an international student. The meaning of advantage is “something that is helpful to you in some way.” International students can learn new languages, study subjects that arent available in their own countries, and find out about different cultures. But life abroad can be challenging, too. For example, many students living abroad cant speak the language of their new country very well when they first arrive. Some students can have trouble finding an apartment, shopping for food, or understanding the public transportation system in a new city. Students can also have difficulty registering for classes or understanding their teachers. It can be very hard for foreign students to meet new friends, too. But there are several things international students can do to make their lives a little easier.First of all, most colleges and universities have an International Student Office. Foreign students can use the offices services to find apartments or rooms to rent. These offices usually have information about language tutors and campus facilities, too. Also, they are available to help students with anythingincluding things like bus schedules and food shopping.It can be very difficult for foreign students to understand whats happening in their classes. Talking to teachers can be helpful. In many countries, teachers are happy to answer questions after class or during office hours. Some teachers allow students to record their lectures. That way, a student can listen to a lecture as many times as he or she wants to. And if a student has trouble understanding what a teacher said during part of a lecture, the student can play that part back to the teacher and ask for clarification.International students can also find many ways to practice speaking their new language. For example, they can attend social events. People at parties or sporting events are usually more willing to talk with someone new. They can join student clubs, too. That way, they can not only practice their new language, they can also make new friends.Complete the following statements by choosing the best from the answers A, B, C, or D.

B Read the passage. Then answer the questions that follow. (3 points each)All around the world, there are international students at institutions of higher education. The definition of an international student is “a postsecondary student from another country.” The meaning of postsecondary is “after high school.” Another phrase for international students is “foreign students.” The word foreign means “of a different country or culture.” Even so, some people dont like the word foreign. Instead, they use the phrase “international students.” For an institution of higher education, they say “university,” “college,” or “school.”International students leave their home countries. They go to school abroad. One meaning of the word abroad is “in a foreign place.” Probably, the country with the most students from abroad is the United States. Canada, Great Britain, and some other European countries also have a lot of students from other countries. But more and more, international students attend colleges and universities in the developing nations of Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Developing nations are countries without a high level of industrialization or technology. Why do high school and college graduates go to colleges and universities far from their homes? Undergraduates are postsecondary students without college degrees. Often, undergraduates want the experience of life in new cultures. Maybe they want to learn another language well. Many students want degrees in business, engineering, or technology. These subjects are not always available in their home countries. Some governments and companies send their best graduate students and workers to other countries for new knowledge and skills. And some international students from expensive private schools at home save money through study abroad programs, especially in developing nations.Decide whether the following statements are true or false.
