[1]Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the
best method.Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
[2]The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious.Firstly, you will be able to listen to the
language all the time you are in the country.You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go.Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people.In Italy，it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the

learning is slower.
[3]On the other hand，________staying at home to study.You don't have to make big changes to your life.As well as this，it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to
achieve the results of living in the UK.If_you_have_a_good_teacher_in_Italy，I_think_you_can_ learn_in_a_more_concentrated_way_than_being_in_Britain_without_going_to_a_school.
[4]So，in conclusion，I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK.This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy
is the only viable(可行的)option.The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities：to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
