（Student’s Answer）

I don’t agree with the idea that studying abroad is beneficial for everybody and I have two reasons to support my opinion. (22)

Firstly, when we go abroad, we have to speak another language, not Japanese. Not all people are good at speaking other languages. We have to spend much time to master them. It’s not beneficial for people who are not interested in learning another language to study abroad. (47)

Secondly, studying abroad costs much money. We need not only school expenses but also the cost for living there. In fact, only people who have enough money can study abroad, I think. In stead of going abroad at a high price, today we can use the internet and get overseas information at home at a low price. (57)

For these two reasons, I don’t agree that studying aboroad is beneficial for everybody. (14)

Comments
Overall, this essay is great!
Red: in + someone’s + stead = instead of
Blue: not a very strong support for the point about studying abroad. You may say :
“learn at home” instead of “get overseas information at home”.

Feedbackでは各項目でexcellent,very goodなどの評価があり、課題が一目でわかります。

commentsでは、具体的に間違いを指摘してくれ、さらにこういう表現にした方がいいとアドバイスをもらえます。
