2 Write a paragraph of 100 - 120 words about the advantages that a person may have when learning English in an English speaking country.
Sample writing
When a person learns English in an English speaking country, he/she can have many advantages First, he/she can learn with native speakers so they can learn the language naturally Second, he/she can learn English in real life contexts, which is much more beneficial than someone learning English in a foreign country Another advantage is he/she can have very natural accent or the native-like accent This is what many people wish to have Finally, I believe those people can also have native speakers as friends Later on, when they come back home, they can at the same time maintain their English if keeping contact with those friends For all the advantages I have mentioned above, I think one should go abroad to study English if they really have a chance
