Nowadays, a lot of college students will be faced with two options about which they should choose: to attend college at home or abroad. Some people hold that they prefer the former to studying home, but others take the attitude that it is much better to study abroad. From a personal perspective, I prefer the latter opinion.

The reasons why we should attend college abroad are as follows. To begin with, in such a modern society which is full of intense competition, it has been much more difficult for college graduates to get a great job when compared with others who have overseas experience. In other words, with experiences of studying abroad, graduates will become more competitive in job hunting. In addition, studying abroad can not only broaden our horizon but also foster a diversified friend-making mode, which will help cultivate a global mindset that is very vital in this era.

From my perspective, it is crucial that people should understand the value and meaning of attending college abroad. A better choice can be taken if we weigh the advantages and the disadvantages and only in this way can we achieve greater success and have a promising future.

如今，很多大学生都面临两个选择：在国内读大学，还是出国留学。有些人倾向于前者，即在国内上大学，有些人则认为出国留学更好。在我看来，我更倾向于后者。

我认为应该出国留学的原因如下：首先，在充满激烈竞争的现代社会，找一份好工作已经变得越来越困难了，尤其是和拥有海外经历的人相比。换言之，有了出国留学的经历，毕业生能在找工作的过程中更有竞争力。此外，出国留学不仅能拓宽我们的视野，还能培养一种多样化的交友模式，二者能帮助我们培养一种全球化思维，这种思维在如今的时代是十分重要的。

在我看来，理解出国留学的价值和意义是很重要的。只有平衡利弊，才能做出更好的选择，也只有这样，我们才能更加成功并拥有一个光明的未来。

题目属于提纲情景类作文，要求就“在国内上大学还是去国外留学”给出建议。按照总分总的结构，文章首段需阐明现状并表明支持哪一方观点；中段则根据观点给出相应理由，可从找工作更具竞争力和提升自我两方面进行说理；尾段再次重申观点，阐述做出这种选择的重要性，并展望未来对全文进行总结。
