High quality U.S. education to embrace talented Taiwanese ~ Taiwan

In Taiwan, the U.S. seems to be the top option for further study, not only for a master's degree but also for undergraduate study or even high school education. In a word, when it comes to study abroad, "America" would naturally flash through Taiwanese people's mind.Indeed, the United States is one of the best when it comes to education all over the world.Personally, I really appreciate how their education system works-their students can choose whichever courses they would like to learn.This kind of free learning environment can really equip students with diverse capabilities.No wonder they are competitive and adaptable.Also, the students are so active, they dream boldly and actually take action to realize it, this is also the characteristic of the American, which really stimulates the progress in both education and society. That's the foundation why America is so-called the most powerful country.What's better, American students can find where their passion belongs to in their early age. Unlike Taiwanese student, we have a lot of boundaries, it's a must to learn what we're not interested in when high school, and can't choose whatever courses we want to take freely in college because we have to decide what to major and that is unchangable. It's common for Taiwanese students to feel that some kind of force is stopping them from give out their talent, suppressing their passion for various things that they are interested in.Through this coparison, we see it's one of the obvious reasons why American students are generally better than Taiwanese ones.Therefore, I would suggest our government to improve our education manner. Heading for America for study should not be a trend because we do have the ability to elevate our education system.
