任务型阅读，根据短文内容，回答下列问题
Every
year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term, a
summer, or a year. Studying overseas can be an exciting experience for many
people.
Why do it
Living in another country can help you to learn a language, and about another
culture. You will see the world in a new way, and learn more about yourself.
Overseas study may also look good on your future resume (求职简历). Many companies today want employees (雇员)
who speak a second language, or have living or working experiences in another
country.
Making the
right choice Once you decide to study overseas, you have to make some choices.
To choose the right country or school, ask yourself: Where do I want to go and
why? How much do I want to pay? How long do I want to study overseas? Do I want
to live with roommates, alone or somewhere else?
Getting
ready to go Get your passport and visa (护照与签证) early! Before you go, learn
some of the language, and read about some common customs in the country that
you are going to. Learn about the money, and bring some of it and a credit card
with you.
Once you
are there After the first few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little
homesick. They may miss their family, friends, and familiar ways of doing
things. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school and
culture. When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write about
your feelings in a notebook.
