7.I had often dreamt of the possibility of spending a year away from my hometown of Leeds in England,living in a foreign country.By the time I was old enough,however,I thought that my language was going to hold me back.
However,luckily for me,Leeds University,where I was studying at the time,made it possible for any student,even people like myself speaking only one language,to study abroad.Before I knew it I was boarding a plane for Salzburg,Austria.I wasn't quite sure what to expect of the experience ahead of me but I was prepared to accept the challenge.
The university was quite small but the classes were large.Also,Austrian students usually take five years to complete their courses,so studying was somewhat more relaxed than at home.Austrian students go home quite often,too.Therefore,the foreign students had to socialise with each other quite a lot,which didn't help our language skills.
Salzburg itself is a picture-postcard Austrian city.It is also famous for being the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for The Sound of Music.As a result,it is usually very busy with tourists.I also found that it doesn't have a lot going on for young people,in comparison to Leeds.
There were,however,many advantages to living in Salzburg.For example,get on a train and you can be in Prague,Rome or Krakow within a matter of hours.By the end of my year in Salzburg,I had visited eight other countries in Europe.
After spending a year overseas,I went back to my course in Leeds much more focused on what I wanted to get out of my last year and more appreciative of the opportunities (機會) university provides.The year in Salzburg really showed me that you get a lot more out of a place when you live there compared to when you are just travelling through.I'd recommend all students to spend a year studying abroad if they can.
