Do you think it is worthwhile to spend time living in another country? Is it something everyone should do? Explain the benefits of living abroad. Is there a downside (negative point)?

Examples and hints

Be sure to include specific, detailed evidence in your answer. The 5 types of evidence are:

anecdote = a very short story; a personal experience that you or someone else has had
analogy/comparison = compares and/or contrasts two points
example = the most common type of evidence—be as specific and detailed as possible!
expert or eyewitness testimony = what other people have officially said; use only well-respected sources
facts, statistics or data = numbers (population, stock market, etc.), if you have them
