As is vividly described in the picture, a little boy is riding on a plane with a teddy bear in one hand, crying. He is waving to his parents, saying, “Mom and dad, I’m sure to study hard abroad.” The picture reflects a growing phenomenon that more and more parents send their little children overseas for education. Personally I object to it.
From my perspective, it’s harmful to their children’s growth both physically and mentally. First of all, as we all know, little children are lack of life experience and skills so that they are not able to look after themselves, which I think will have negative effects on their physical growth. Besides, compared with adults, little children have less ability to adapt to a new environment. So when they are facing difficulties, they are more likely not to know how to handle it. Little children also tend to lack self-discipline, as a result, they are more likely to end up with poor grades without parents’ company and even worse, some even have some social ill.
All in all, it is not advisable to send little children abroad to study. Perhaps, program like a short-term visit or an exchange program is sensible for those who want their little children to have a taste of foreign cultures.

This picture shows a boy, backing a huge bag and holding a teddy bear on his hands, who is riding on a plane to an unspecified place with tears dropping heavily while promising his parents that he’ll study hard. Clearly, it captures the boy’s reluctance to leave his home town and study in a faraway country.
The picture reflects a common social phenomenon in China that parents always think it helpful to send children to a foreign country, imagining the high-quality education will contribute to their children like what they promise. However, whether the plan makes a difference or not depends on children themselves. Different personalities, backgrounds and natures vary their attitudes, ambitions and so on. For children who really want to widen their horizons, further study, it’s necessary and natural to go abroad, with an aim of improvement from the bottom of their hearts, which is worthwhile. On the contrary, children who are accustomed to Chinese study atmosphere automatically reject going to a strange place forced by parents instead of continuing to learn traditionally. Not only will they suffer a lot of trouble during learning, even give up courses, but also waste their time and parents’ money. What a regrettable investment!
In short, whether sending children abroad to study will really improve children rely on themselves, so it’s inadvisable to catch the trend but ignore their own opinion. As it isn’t a compulsory task for every child, why not adjusting to their natures?

‘I will work hard and try every effort to get high scores in foreign country.’ Said the little boy with a heavy bag on his back, then he hugs his toy more tightly,’ without your company, mum, dad......’ The picture shows a modern phenomenon that parents send their children to foreign countries to achieve ‘better’ education without going with them and even ignore their disagreement. As far as l am concerned, this is a crucial and absolutely wrong behavior.
On one hand, I think it necessary to fill every child’s childhood with happiness from parents’ love and concern instead of textbooks and heavy learning tasks. It is a happy childhood with parents accompany that provide a child with a treasured memory which will lead to better life that studying abroad can not offer. On the other hand, not only will studying abroad makes children feel lonely, but also it builds a high wall between parents and children, which become higher and higher when the children grow up. The family reunion will become weaker and weaker by the time pass by, because those children can not feel love from parents.
Parents should not show their love by giving children ‘better’ education. Everything a child needs is just a hug when he is frustrated or a candy when he performs well. As a result, parents should not have children study abroad without going with them.

To simple description of the picture, there’s only a little boy flying to a foreign country alone, crying and promising:” I’ll study hard in the foreign country!” Nowadays, more and more parents are sending their children to study abroad at their early age.
In my view, this is not a good social phenomenon. First of all, to children, leaving their parents at such an early age is cruel. They have to face cultural difference, language problems and so on by themselves, and there’s no doubt that children aren’t capable of dealing with these problems perfectly. Therefore, they’ll feel helpless and lonely most of time. This will lead to children’s lack of parents’ love. Moreover, the incomplete growing condition and lack of necessary communication will increase the gap between parents and children, which leads to worse relationship between the two sides. Last but not least, parents take it for granted that sending their children to study abroad is a better choice for their future. However, to some extent, they just ignore their children’s feelings and don’t know what they really need and what is really good for them. This may ruin their children’s future eventually.
I’d say that, what parents should do is to pay more attention to their children’s ideas and feelings. They should let their kids to decide their future on their own. Parents should be clear that accompanying their children is always much more important than offering them a planned future.

As is drawn vividly in the picture, a little boy aging 10 years old is sitting on a plane and saying “ Dad and Mom, I will study hard abroad “ with tears on his face. This phenomenon is quite common in our society that parents tend to let their children study abroad at an early age for better education. However, I contend that this decision may be harmful to the children, instead of having a bright future.
First and foremost, as far as I’m concerned, language problem is so serious that may cause some difficulties to both their life and study in a different culture. They have to spend a lot time learning a foreign language, but they still have obstacles to understand other thoroughly due to unfamiliar culture background and social customs. Therefore, these children may find it hard to really integrate into local society. Secondly, the relationship between parents and children may also meet with some problems because of lacking the chance to communicate with each other. Indeed, despite the fact that they can make phone calls frequently, these children aren’t good at talking to their parents about themselves not to mention that feel the love from their parents which even widen the gap between them. In a addition, these children are more likely to have psychological and study problems. They are easy to feel lonely, besides, they don’t have someone to talk about. Moreover, they are not mature enough to take care of themselves and resist the temptation around them so that they will get lost in both their life and study.
In brief, taking all the reasons above into consideration, I suggest that we should not send the little child to study abroad too early, and the best time for them is to wait after they get mature.

The picture demonstrates a crying young boy who has to study further aboard, is farewelling unwillingly to his parents. It is a growing phenomenon that parents are intended to send their children abroad as early as possible nowadays. From my perspective, separating children from his parents too early will do harm to their psychological health.
Firstly, the separation at an early age may cause considerable loneliness ,which will become a shadow haunting the child for a long lifetime .Thus, they may be more likely to fail to interact with others contributing to their self-inconfidence or shyness from the unpleasant memories. Moreover, it is a tragedy that children misunderstood their parents that they don’t care about the at all instead of considering studying abroad promising and positive. lastly, without parental supervision ,who can help them to form good habits and get rid of false ones? It is widely acknowledged that children needs parents’ tutelage because of their infant self-control.
To sum up, I see studying abroad too early a negative way that may leave an unpleasant memory and widen the generation gap. It is a wiser choice to communicate with their children about their future plans to understand their feelings and needs in advance.
