Well, the most difficult decision I’ve ever made was whether or not I should study
abroad next year. / Well, the most important conversation I had so far was with my
parents about whether or not I should study abroad next year.
In the recent couple of years, there’s this growing tendency among high school
graduates to embark on a study abroad program. I’ve always wanted to do the

go abroad for study.
