选修7 Unit 5 Travelling abroad
Period Ⅰ
话题美文 你知道哪些国家是留学生最想去的地方吗？
Popular destinations of International Students The UK，US，China，Australia，Canada are currently the most popular destinations for international students. The US is the undisputed（不容置疑的）leader with approximately 723,277 foreign enrollments in 2010－11.Traditionally the US and UK have been the most prestigious choices，due to dominating university top 10 rankings with the likes of Harvard，Oxford，MIT and Cambridge.
More recently ,however, they have had to compete with the rapidly growing Asian higher education market. US colleges and universities have long welcomed students from China，where the higher-education system cannot meet the demand. Three years ago，a record 10 million students throughout China took the national college entrance test，competing for 5.7 million university slots. Because foreign undergraduates typically fail to qualify for US federal aid，colleges here can provide limited financial help. Now，thanks to China's booming economy in recent years，more Chinese families can afford to pay.
US colleges also face challenges abroad. Worries about fraud on test scores and transcripts make occasional headlines. And even Chinese students who test high on an English-language proficiency test may not be able to speak or write well enough to stay up to speed in a US classroom，where essay writing and discussions are common.
