一般在雅思话题里碰到“决定”、“选择”或者“计划”啥的，咱们烤鸭就说“出国留学”就OK。这样就可以把之前准备过的study abroad的优缺点或者留在国内深造的优缺点分别讲出来凑时间了。既然是个“选择”，就说明各有利弊，我们需要一个权衡的过程，于是就把这个思考的心理过程讲出来即可。

The most important decision I had to make so far is whether or not I should go abroad to pursue a master’s degree. And I’m really grateful to my dad for helping me make this decision.

About a few months ago, I started to think about my future, and I have two choices: find a job immediately after graduation or go on to a graduate school.

If I get a job, I could finally be financially independent, I mean, I don’t have to ask my parents for money anymore, and I could buy myself whatever I want. However, I will lose the freedom that a student has, I mean, no more summer and winter vacations. Plus, I have to face too much pressure from my boss, or maybe other coworkers. And dealing with the complicated relationships could really give me a headache.

And the other option, going abroad, sounds tempting at first, ‘cause I could travel in a different country and try all those tasty food, but living alone in a foreign country can be really challenging for me. So I was completely torn.

My dad and I had a serious conversation about it. He said getting a master’s degree in a foreign country is better for me, ‘cause not only can I learn about a different culture, I could also develop my independent skills. I would grow into a big boy after I come back.

And that’s how I made the decision, so here I am.
