Question

    More and more Chinese students are putting study tours in foreign countries on their plans this summer.

Including language courses, sightseeing and international communication(交流), study tours meet the needs of Chinese parents and students for a long and fruitful holiday.

A recent report showed most study tour participants (参与者) were teenagers in middle schools. According to the report, 73 percent were middle school students, 11 percent primary school students and only 3 percent college students. And it’s getting more and more popular in middle schools.

According to a blue book about study tours, developing children’s horizons(视野) was the No. 1 reason for parents, while improving language skills, experiencing independence(独立) and different cultures were also popular.

Zhan Fuman, a 14-year-old girl from Guangzhou, is now on a 15-day study tour in Australia with a price tag of 32,800 yuan (about 4,870 U.S. dollars), and she went to the United States for her first study tour last winter. “She has been much more confident (自信) and independent since her first tour in the U. S. and learnt to use knowledge from books and real life communication,” said Zhu Wanxia, Zhan’s mother. “Going on a study tour does not lead to going to a foreign university in the future,” Zhu said, adding that she preferred her child to go to a top Chinese university instead.
