【参考范文】

Once prohibitive for most people, studying, working and living abroad has become more accessible in recent years. Critics, however, argue that given the associated challenges and risks, most people would be better off remaining in their homeland. Is this opinion justifiable? 

People in favour of the cross-border approach have two main reasons for this view. For students, the main attraction is access to better education, often entailing unique opportunities and favourable reception in the job market. Young adults, especially those that have never lived outside of their local community, tend to appreciate other cultures' mentalities and approaches to life, which can help enrich their own worldview and establish their own personal values. 

Other people, however, do not find the idea of moving to a foreign country appealing. For couples planning to start a family, financial stability and support network are often prioritized, so they would probably not choose to settle in a new country. Similarly, many older people have stayed in the same environment, with ready access to their family and everyday things like food and language and are therefore not the keenest to adapt to a brand-new lifestyle elsewhere. 

In my opinion, apart from the concerns about access to resources discussed above, the question also depends on people's personality and cultural norms of the host country. Extroverts who feel restricted in a conservative society may prefer a new environment where active networking is pervasive. On the other hand, the same expatriate experience might be difficult for introverts accustomed to a more private lifestyle. 

In general, it is difficult to argue that leaving one's home country is the best choice for everyone. Those thinking about adopting this major life change should, rather than following generic suggestions, base their decision on their own circumstances and preferences.
