Your adventure starts where?
An increasing number of students are thinking of going overseas to study for a degree. This week we focus on five English-speaking countries, examining what each has to offer and why you might choose to study there.
With thousands of institutions and courses to choose from, how do you decide where to study as an international student? Do you dream of heading for the land of Uncle Sam or would you feel more at home in Shakespeare’s country? Perhaps the Australian outback will give you the space you need to work out the problems of the world. Whichever you choose, the adventure begins right here!
STUDY IN AUSTRALIA
Free-spirited Australia has been open to migration for many years and is today one of the world’s top three destinations for international students. Australia’s renowned cultural diversity, its high level of public safety and the vibrant atmosphere of its cities all help to make it easy for overseas visitors to feel at home. Academically speaking, most of the national, publicly-funded universities are of similarly high standard. Moreover, Australian institutions have a particularly strong reputation for research into the environment and sport science.

STUDY IN CANADA
Surveys conducted by the United Nations have repeatedly found Canada to be among the top ten places in the world to live in. In addition, Canada’s largest cities, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, have been recognised as world-class cities in which to live and work, for their cleanliness and safety and for their cultural activities and attractive lifestyles. A Canadian degree, diploma or certificate is well regarded in business, government and academic circles around the globe. Canada has two official languages – English and French. Studying and living in Canada could be your opportunity to learn both!

首先，根據第一題與第二題題目句裡的Australia，我們可以判斷文章裡的STUDY IN AUSTRALIA是我們需要細讀的段落。第一題提到澳洲很「危險」(dangerous)，可是段落裡提到澳洲很「安全」(Australia’s ... high level of public safety)，因此題目句與段落文句的意義相矛盾，所以我們的答案為Not Given。第二題的話，題目句的意義是「澳洲的國立大學品質相當」，段落裡相關的文句是「大部分的國立大學都同樣地擁有很高的學術品質」(Academically speaking, most of the national, publicly-funded universities are of similarly high standard.)，兩句話的意義一致，所以我們的答案為True。至於第五題，題目句的主題是Canada，所以我們需要細讀的段落為STUDY IN CANDA。題目句的意義是「加拿大擁有世界前三名的頂尖大學」，可是段落只提到加拿大的學位受到商業界、政府、學界的高度認可，並沒有提到加拿大的大學在世界上的排名，因此我們的答案為Not Given。
