However, just as every coin has two sides, studying abroad may also confront one with a series of hardships. For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people. For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may also be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young. An added difficulty lies with finance: it can cost a lot to study abroad.

　　From my point of view, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages. But it is a big decision to go abroad to study and one should take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding. Personally, I choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary.

　　Dear Sir or Madam,

　　Im writing to lodge the complaint about the poor quality of an air conditioner that I purchased from Sun Appliance Company.

　　Frankly speaking, Sun Appliance has always been my favorite. On April 4, 2007, I bought the air conditioner from one of your chain store located in Lang Fang. The machine operated well at first, but ten days later, there was a fault that bothered me, that is, the fan made so much noise that I could not sleep well at night. Worse still, the cooling system didnt work well and the machine began to leak recently. Its poor quality ruined almost all my previous impression toward your products.

　　I strongly suggest that a repairman or a service engineer should be sent to my home without delay. I wonder if you could pinpoint the exact cause of the malfunction as soon as possible. If you cant, I am afraid that I will request for full amount of refund or a new air conditioner.

　　I would appreciate all your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to contact me. Look forward to your reply.

　　Yours Sincerely,

　　Li Ming
