What is more important between fast English improvements and psychological stabilities? It would be different depending on people. All people who go to America for English improvement want to make good progress in English fluency as soon as possible. However, it is difficult because there are various kinds of limits which students studying abroad face. Frankly speaking, I really thought that Liu and I are under similar circumstances when I saw Liu’s story. Based on my experience, I think psychological stabilities are necessary for people to live.
When you think about opportunity cost, this problem is not a problem to decide which one is more important. If you value speedy English improvement and you do not get along with people from same country, you will feel more unstable. In the case that you are sick, there is nobody whom you can rely on. The more days you spend under this circumstance, the easier you will feel tired or frustrated. On the other hand, if you regard psychological stabilities more essential and you spend time with people who came from same country, you can stay in America more steadily. Even if you may improve your English more slowly, you can get courage from your peers.
Actually I have had a lot of problems that I had to cover because I am a transfer student from Korea so I have had so many things to deal with such as transferring credits and taking steps to enter into UD. At first, I really had hard time dealing with all the things. However, my Korean friends whom I got to know in UD helped me and I really felt stable. Isn’t it more important to live stably than to improve English fluency?
