STUDYING
ABROAD

 
 

 

STEP 1
 

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad? Listen carefully to part of a talk Virginia Parma gave to some students about her experiences of studying in three countries: France, Canada and Russia.

Listen just for a gist and don't worry if there are some words you don't understand: you should be able to get the general idea.

       

 

STEP 2
 

Now, listen again. For questions 1-to-12 complete the notes in the chart below which summarises the content of Virginia's talk. Write a word or short phrase in each blank space. Then check your answers together with the audio transcription.
