PEOPLE SHOULD EXPERIENCE LIVING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY
(ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY)


Many people who have had the chance of visiting a foreign country in their lives have asked how the experience of living away from their country of origin would be like, Not only the people who have traveled abroad have asked this question to themselves, those who haven’t got yet the chance are wondering and dreaming about this opportunity of living abroad too.

This desire of living away have increased in people’s minds lately mainly because they want to make a chance in their life’s style, due to the economic situation that the country is facing of, but this is not the only cause. There are a group of people who just want to experience the feeling of living abroad because they want to take that risk, leaving everything they had before and even their families. This fact doesn’t mean that the ones who decide to live in this way are unhappy but other’s think that this situation makes foreigners being aware of their own, that they can’t accept the fact of being apart of their families because they start missing them, the good point about this is that they began to realize how valuable family is.

There are people who not think that living in a foreign country can be an interesting and unforgettable experience. From their point of view, people who lived in another country are attend to suffer a lot of issues like learning to accept another type of society and culture. They say that this can be really frustrating for those who start living abroad because they might be rejected for the society. They defend this fact because of the Latin’s discrimination in the USA, which is something that is happening nowadays. Even though this is true, there are a group of North American citizens who are against of this discrimination and are supporting those foreigners whose rights have been violated.

Another aspect to mention is that foreigners have to deal with the issue of looking for a well paid job. For a foreign person, the perfect job would be the one which is well paid in order to satisfy his or her needs, with the perfect boss who understands the economic situation this foreign person can have. This would be the perfect job for any foreign person, but they clarify that the reality is totally the opposite. Foreign people began working in jobs which are commonly stressful and they do not get the money enough to satisfy their basic needs.

The main reason why people should experience living in a foreign country is that this can be unforgettable and interesting. People who decide to do this are able to live many aspects that are going to change their life’s style in a hundred percent. They start living a new culture which involves the kind of clothing, dances, food, etc. They also are able to learn the language which is spoken in that particular country in a faster and easier way than normal with a perfect accent. They also can make new friends, learning other point of views, accepting different opinions and values and seizing every opportunity to go to new places.

Living away from the country of origin helps people to develop an independent behavior from their families because it gives a lot of experience toward organizing their lives, for example: cleaning the room, washing clothes, organizing expenses. This situation makes people to have a strong meaning in responsibility. Being independent and responsible will help to get through life every goal that any foreign want to achieve.

To sum up, people should experience living in a foreign country if they really want to know how the feeling of being away is, it can be really hard at the beginning. Changes are difficult to everyone but they are necessary to make a better person spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Hello. This is Yeison.
You have a paragraph which contains only one sentence, and a really long one. You should try to split it into smaller sentences.
I could not find the thesis sentences for your essay. Be careful about it. The paragraphs are well-developed though. Check for "group"; I think "The ARE a group" is wrong. In fact, ARE cannot be fallowed by A or AN. Check for the correct usage of articles.
Do not forget to make clearer your thesis.
Please, check my essay. I would like you to comment on it.
