Work in pairs. What can you do to become more independent while
studying abroad? Give your reasons?

Suggested answers:
– Learn the language of the country where you study
– Get a part-time job
– Learn how to cook for yourself
– Travel in your host country and any neighbouring countries
– Make lifelong friends and meet people from across the globe
Example:
I think I'll become more independent by learning to cook for myself. It's
very expensive and unhealthy to eat out frequently. Besides, the food in
the country where I'll be studying may not suit me. Therefore, it'd be nice
if I could prepare dishes from my own country.
