审题与解析
本周考题是近5周出现的唯一新题。
本题设问：为了更好的工作和生活机会，我们是出国好，还是留在国内好？
这个虽然是新题，但问题非常简单，也非常熟悉，因此，本周考生比较幸运。
题目涉及“工作和生活”，因此基本上涵盖了所有范围，这是本周题目比较容易的另一个原因：题目并没要求限定在某个范围内讨论，因此不容易跑题（只要不写出国学习就可以了）。
一般写法当然是：先写出国的好处，再写留在国内的好处，最后给出自己的观点。这种写法是典型的双边讨论。
但也可以这样写：
1. 出国可以开阔视野，获得新奇的生活和工作体验，但是出国工作和生活也会带来麻烦：比如需要重新适应新的环境和文化，需要建立新的朋友圈子，而且还有可能遭受当地人的歧视，甚至暴力。
2. 反之，如果留在国内，这些问题基本可以避免，但是留在国内就意味着必须在一个你熟悉的世界里挣扎，结果让你陷入到工作和生活的无聊圈子里无法自拔，从而影响到你理想的实现和更高的追求。
3. 因此，是否出国取决于你是否已经在文化上和心理上做好了准备，同时取决于你是否有新的理想和目标需要去国外实现。如果答案都是no，那么留在国内也许是更好的选择。

Now many people choose to go to other countries for better work and living opportunities. This choice, however, may not be as desirable as it appears.
Going to foreign countries, as is argued, enables people to obtain brand new opportunities and experience in both work and life, yet it may also bring about numerous troubles. The new comers have to spend tremendous amount of time making new friends and adjusting themselves to an environment and culture completely different from that in their home country. In fact, I have seen many immigrants who have never really been assimilated into the new culture. Furthermore, people living in a foreign country may very likely be subject to the racial discrimination, which will make their work and living unbearable.
All these problems can be avoided if people choose to stay in their home country, but to work and live in such a familiar environment may be a disadvantage at the same time. For those people stuck in their present position, it is unlikely for them to get a promotion if they do not seek a change. For those who have a high regard of themselves and have personal ambitions to achieve, hanging around with their friends in the home country would be boring and a total waste of time.
It is, therefore, important to ask yourself a few questions before you make up your mind to go to a foreign country. For instance, have you been ready, both culturally and psychologically, to live in a different country? Do you have dreams (in life as well as work) whose realization makes it absolutely necessary that you live in a foreign country? If the answers to these questions are “no”, I would suggest that people stay in their home country and live as happily as they can.
