5. b) Your friend Susan, who will be going to university next year, has sent you an e-mail asking for your opinion on whether she should study in her home country or abroad instead. Reply with an informal e-mail giving your advice. Remember: DO NOT SIGN OR IDENTIFY YOUR EMAIL.

Solución: Model Answer: Dear Susan, It was great to hear from you! Congratulations on finishing school soon; going to university is such an exciting milestone. I completely understand why you feel uncertain about whether to stay at home or move abroad. Studying abroad is definitely a life-changing experience. If you decide to go, you will become much more independent, immerse yourself in a different culture, and improve your language skills significantly. Employers also value international experience very highly. However, it can be quite expensive, and you might feel homesick at the beginning. On the other hand, attending university in your home country would allow you to remain close to your family and lifelong friends. It is generally more affordable, and you wouldn't have to deal with the stress of adapting to an entirely new healthcare and legal system. If you ask me, I think you should take the chance and study abroad if your budget allows it. It is an opportunity that rarely comes twice in life! Whatever you choose, I know you will do great. Keep in touch and let me know what you decide! Best wishes,
