115] Reading [Living Abroad-Pros & Cons]
Living Abroad
Living abroad may be
a dream for some; if not a great part of people. However, there are some pros
and cons for living abroad, in another country.
On the one hand,
there are some pros for living abroad, in another country, such as earning more
money by getting better job opportunities in these countries. Also, living
abroad, in another country, helps gain knowledge and experience because the
person who lives in another country can see, meet, work and live with different
peoples of different nationalities and experiences. Also, the person can see and get acquainted
with new civilisations and cultures. This really makes the person gain a lot of
knowledge and experience.
On the other hand,
there are some cons for living abroad, in another country. One of these cons is
homesickness, which means the person becomes away from home, family, children
and friends. This actually worsens when there is an urgent situation or case
that requires being in home country, such as ceremonies, illnesses and death.
Another disadvantage
of living abroad, being in another country, is that it may be hard for the
person to be familiar with the people of such country, cultures, customs and traditions,
which makes his mind always busy with thinking of changing the country, place,
area and this may cause some problems to him. Sometimes the person feels sorrow
and sadness while being away from his homeland in such situations.
In brief, although
travelling abroad, in another country, has some disadvantages, its advantages
are many.
