而且我们可以顺便把important conversation搞定，因为这么重要滴决定，肯定是要跟家人商量来的啊，总结起来，这个回答可以这么说：
参考回答
Well, the most difficult decision I’ve ever made was whether or not I should study abroad next year. / Well, the most important conversation I had so far was with my parents about whether or not I should study abroad next year.
In the recent couple of years, there’s this growing tendency among high school graduates to embark on a study abroad program. I’ve always wanted to do the same, because it’s a good opportunity to see the world, to experience different styles education, and to improve my language skills. And for a girl who has never been far away from home, studying in a foreign country might bring out my independent nature. But I need to give it some careful thought before I could make the decision. I told my parents who are both open-minded about my plan, and they were pretty supportive, but they also pointed out some disadvantages. My mom told me that being in a new place by myself could be overwhelming sometimes, and it tests my ability to adapt to diverse situations. And it’s highly possible that I would feel lonely and helpless every so often, because all of my close friends and family members are on the other side of the world. I would be completely on my own, and basically everything I took for granted in the past would then be a challenge, like paying bills, opening bank accounts, communicating with fellow students, and the list goes on and on.
All of a sudden, I felt stuck. All those challenges sounded terrifying, but I really didn’t want to give up the opportunity. I weighed up the pros and cons carefully, and after some serious consideration, I finally made up my mind. So here I am. / So I believe this conversation really means a lot.
所以大家在准备雅思口语时候可以参考上面的框架，自己改编pros and cons。 其实有时候留学的坏处就是留在家学习的好处嘛，请大家灵活处理。
