Several weeks ago，my friend talked about her daughter’s education in future with me. Her husband recommended that their daughter studying in the United States in recent years is better for her, but my friend does not think so. They can’t go to the united states all, so if their daughter will study aborad, that means she should go there with her and their family will be separated, that’s not healthy for life. But her husband thought that isn’t a problem, many families do it like that, this is a very common phenomenon in china. I think that’s not a good choice but i can’t talk too more about her husband, so i just said if you want your daughter to study in USA, the whole family go abroad together is better than you go out alone.

Several weeks ago，my friend talked about her daughter’s education in the future with me. Her husband recommended that their daughter studying in the United States in the next few years is better for her, but my friend does not think so. They can’t go to the united states together, so if their daughter will study abroad, she should go there with her and their family will be separated which is not a healthy lifestyle. However her husband thought that it isn’t a problem, and that this is a very common phenomenon in china. I think that it’s not a good choice but i can’t talk too much about her husband, so i just said “if you want your daughter to study in the US, it’s better if the whole family goes abroad together rather than you go alone“.
