GOING TO WORK ABROAD
Nowadays, it is very difficult for many Young people to get a job, overall in Spain. Due to this young people, in spite of being the most trained generation, have to go to work abroad.
Firstly, it is an exciting opportunity to improve your career. Many people value positively that their employers have worked abroad. Another advantage is that you meet people, different customs, typical food, and do sightseeing.
In addition, you can learn a new language. Because you need to use this language every day, for this reason it is the best to improve your skills.
On the other hand, many people are very close to their family and for them it is a scary experience. Moreover, for many emigrants it is difficult to get used to new culture. For instance, new tastes, different time slot, weather, etc.
To sum up, we strongly believe that it has more advantages than disadvantages. Also the distance is a problem. In this age, it is easier to get in touch with our relatives through new technologies, such as internet and social networks. Finally, there are also more flight companies which have cheaper services and more routes.

GOING TO WORK ABROAD: AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY OR A SCARY ONE
ReplyDeleteNowadays, because of the global financial situation, so many people decide to change their lives working abroad. The opportunity of promode in their career, earn higher salary or try to live different experiences, have as a consecuence that people take the decition of being a foreing worker.
The main advantage is the learning of a new language if it has a different language of yours. It is faster to learn a new language in a foreing country where all your senses recive the information without distractions. In addition, you know other cultures and apreciate the diferences between them, for example: diferent kind of food, time for eating, definetely, their own life style. Furthermore, meeting new people can help you to stablish new relationships.
However, there are also some important disadvantages. Although you meet new people, you could fell homesick and feel lonely, for example if you get sick. Another disadvantage is not having references about the neighbourhood where you are going to live. Maybe you are renting an apartment in the worst place of the city and you don´t know it.
To sum up, working abroad is a decition: maybe an opportunity, maybe a nightmare.It depends about your own experience and the reasons that make a person to take it.
We think that even the daily life, has pros and cons.

WORKING ABROAD: THE OPPORTUNITY OF YOUR LIFE?
ReplyDeleteNowadays more and more people are going abroad to look for new job opportunities. However, this is not an easy decision as it involves taking into account the great changes it brings to your life.
To begin with, going abroad offers you the chance of improving both personal and working skills because you will have to face with problems alone and what is more, you will have to solve them without any helping (at least at the beginning) and this will turn you into a more confident person. In addition, it is a good way to meet new people as well as knowing new cultures and improving your foreign language.
On the other hand, when you leave your own country behind, you must fight against a sad feeling of homesickness and isolation and the scaring possibility of finding difficulties to build new social relationships. Moreover, you will have to assume the possibility of having made the wrong decision if the new country does not meet your expectations.
To sum up, we think that every decision you take in your life has both advantages and disadvantages, but we firmly believe that –all things considered- working abroad can be the opportunity of your life and it is worth a try.

GOING TO WORK ABROAD: AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY OR SCARY ONE?
ReplyDeleteNowadays, more and more people decide to go abroad looking for new opportunities. But is this always a good choice?
To start with, going abroad could have several advantages. One of that is about your professional career; it could let you learn different ways of working and also you will get important skills, for instance, language, something that could be so useful in your career path. Furthermore, you will get an unforgettable experience, living with people with another culture and meeting new people; therefore, it is possible that you become in a tolerant and an open-minded person.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages too. One of the hardest situations is being far away from people you love, since sometimes you could feel alone in a foreign country without support. In addition, weather conditions could be the best or the worst, it depends of the person, and it could be decisive in your day by day behavior.
To sum up, we think that going abroad could be a great experience with lots of benefits, not only in your professional life but also for yourself. This is an important decision for everyone, and for that, the question is: are you where you really want to be? or if not, with a new chance, would you let slip it through your fingers?

“GOING TO WORK ABROAD: AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY OR A SCARY ONE”
ReplyDeleteNowadays, there are more and more people who dream with getting new opportunities about their job in Spain. But, unfortunately, there is an enormous economic crisis in this country, which has forced them to emigrate to other places around the world.
Working abroad have many advantages. One of them is that they will have known new people and traditions when they are living for some months there, taking part in different socio-cultural activities. Furthermore, if they improve their work experiencies and language skills, they will be able to find more opportunities to get promoted and feel better themselves.
Nevertheless, working abroad have some disadvantages. One of the most important of them is that they cannot take care of their families. For that reason, if they decide to live in a foreign country, they must take into account that they will have adapt to loneliness, new customs and traditions. Finally, another disadvantage for people who live to abroad is the economic. It´s more probably that they have to pay their social security. As well as other aspects which ususally are more expensive in another country,for instance, supermaket, bus,….
To sum up, going to work abroad have so many advantages as disadvantages. For our point of view, this will depend on the personality of each person, above all the confidence, the selfstem and the knowledges that they have. So, the sooner they develop on open-mind, the less social problems they will have to adapt themself.

There is no doubt about the economical situation of our country. For several years, it is causing that many people have to go abroad looking for a better future. But is going abroad a real problem or could be up to us?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, we can see this situation like an opportunity of personal development. For instance, if you live in a foreign country, you will have to learn a new language and culture as well as meet new people. Moreover, going abroad will give us an immense personal growth both emotionally and physically since you have to experience new situations that may seems intimidating at first, but they are the best way to overcome yourself. Furthermore, it will make us more tolerant and also appreciate those little things that we used to have.
On the other hand, everything is not positive. Being far away from your loved ones is not always easy. You could experience homesickness although currently, there are many ways to keep in touch. Besides, you could miss your culture and all your costumes. In the same way, it could seem frustrating and challenging if the country speaks a new language. And above all, you could have difficulties meeting new people due to shyness and this could cause loneliness at first.
With all the things considered, it can be seen that there are more positive aspects than negatives ones. It is an experience that everybody has to live at least once to challenge yourself. After all, you can always come back home!

GOING TO WORK ABROAD: AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY OR A SCARY ONE?
ReplyDeleteNowadays, lot of people are forced to leave their own countries to work abroad in order to look for a better life quality. But, making this decision could have different consequences.
Learning a foreign language and culture is one of the main advantages. It can be a great opportunity to increase your knowledge and also sharing your culture. Another advantage is meet people who can help you to develop your social skills and not only at work but in your neighbourhood or even in parties. Furthermore, it is a perfect way to overcome your personality and your professional qualifications.
On the other hand, there are also some important disadvantages. Although you can feel excited because of the experience, you might miss your family in some moments. For example, if you are ill, your mum will not take care of you. In addition, you must work harder to prove your abilities because you are the foreign. What is more, it is a risky decision that not everybody are ready to adopt.
All thing considered, although going to work abroad have both advantages and disadvantages, we firmly believe that it is a really worth experience which involve plenty of positive aspects to your future.

GOING TO WORK ABROAD: AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY OR A SCARY ONE?
ReplyDeleteNowadays, working abroad is one of the most controversial topics around the world. Moreover, due to the economic recession, many people who are unemployed have to think about leaving their country.

GOING TO WORK ABROAD: AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY OR A SCARY ONE?
ReplyDeleteNowadays people have the opportunity to work abroad voluntarily. However, other people have to do it by obligation. Why have they decided to work abroad? The reasons are numerous.
Whatever the reason, there are certainly some advantages. Firstly, they can have new experiences, such as meet new people and know different cultures. Secondly, people who work abroad usually earn more. For example, a person who moves from China to England will earn in pounds and the value of the currency is much more. What is more, it is the best way to learn a second language and this skill will help you when you are applying a new job.
On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages. For instance, not being near your family and friends, it will make you feel extremely alone. They have to fight all emotions to go ahead. Furthermore, every country has its own culture, belifs and values, so you could suffer from culture shock, differences in people behaviour is also a great problem of working abroad.
To sum up, we firmly believe that working abroad has more advantages than disadvantages. It develops your abilities and it makes you get a promotion in your professional life.

Going to work abroad: an exciting opportunity or a scary one
ReplyDeleteIn the last years there have been an increase of people who decide to work abroad because of lack of job stability situation. The work shortage has forced many people to find an opportunity outside our borders.
First of all, one of the most exciting things about work abroad is to arrive to a new country with a different culture and lifestyle where you can start from scratch. This could be an amazing opportunity to learn how other people live and especially learn or improve a different language. What is more, be able to speak various languages can help you to get a job. Finally, this experience might be the beginning of something big, not only professionally but personally. You can gain more self-confidence and grow up like a human being.
On the other hand, this could be a hard decision because it means be far away of your family and friends. Furthermore, you probably will need to spend a lot of money to come back to visit your loved ones and you will not be able to visit them often, so the distance would be one of the scariest things about work abroad.
All things considered, though, distance and be alone in a new country could paralyze you, we firmly believe that made a brave decision and pack your bags to travel to an unknown place, could be an extraordinary and one of the most rewarding experiences in your life in which you will grow up personally, emotionally and professionally for the rest of your life.

ReplyDelete“Going to work abroad: An exciting opportunity or scary one?”
DeleteNowadays, many spanish people go abroad to apply for a job due to they think that the working conditions and lifestyle are better in some foreign countries.
On the one hand, working abroad allows you to meet people of other cultures. Moreover, you would be able to learn another language. In addition, looking for a job is definetely easier and you are more likely to be promoted.
On the other hand, living in another country makes you feel homesick due to you are not with your family. Furthermore, the living conditions in most of the countries are extremely expensives and it would be harder to settle and start a new life.
At last but not least, you have to get used to the local gastronomy and also be ready to other kind of weather conditions because if you live in a place with a warm climate, you would be shocked, which can be very unpleasant.
To sum-up, besides going to work abroad has several disadvantages, it would be a great experience and help us to improve ourselves and earn a better future.

For some time now, more and more young people have gone abroad looking for a job in other countries, specially in those which are more developed in economic terms for some reasons.
ReplyDeleteThe main advantage of working abroad is that you can get a great profesional experience and, at the same time, you can usually earn a better salary than in your country. From other point of view, you can have opportunities in many skills and growing in maturety and independence. We can also add other important advantages, for example, you meet new and interesting pepople and friends in addition to get knowledge about different cities and towns. At last, but not at least, you can often learn or improve a foreign language.
However, in some cases, living and working in other country can be a nightmare and end to be a terrible experience. There are some people who cannot bear to be far away from family and friends. In this way, at the beginning you feel alone. Furthermore, depending on the kind of country you are working in (western, eastern, islamic ones...), there are some ocassions in which it can be very hard to get in habit of different and stranges new cultural customs, mainly if you are not able to communicate in the local language.
To sum up, going to work abroad has both advantages and disadvantages. In spite of all the risks and troubles that you have to face, for us it is the best way to learn and to get proffesional experiences in order to grow and improve in your own.

LIVING ABROAD
ReplyDeleteNowadays, a lot of young people decide to go abroad to look for a job. The economic situation and the importance of learning a second language have increased the amount of people who try this kind of adventure. However, is it always a good experience? Are there some disadvantages too?
First of all, the adventure of going abroad is getting more usual. There are a lot of grants, above all for students, which help to face nearly all the expenses. For this reason, people are more accustomed to live these situations than before. In fact, people who live abroad for a while, return being more responsible, hardworking and autonomous. Besides, they usually speak a second language more fluency and with more security to themselves.
On the other hand, living abroad has also its negative parts. It can be really difficult to adapt to a place completely different from yours. The difficulty can increase if you have a close relationship with your family or friends. Furthermore, it can be extremely difficult to adapt to a space that is unfamiliar to you, the climate, the time change, the hours of sun everything can influence your mood.
To sum up, living abroad can be a great opportunity to acquire cultural and linguistic knowledge, that is why it should be a challenge that everyone should face,
Although it would be a good idea to consider being accompanied by a relative or friend, to avoid loneliness.
