“check” and, “wrote” are A2 and A1 vocabulary in the English Vocabulary Profile, but are used in an English Grammar Profile example of C1 grammar as the criterion for range.
The never-ending “problem” for tagging grammar complexity is when to revert back to accepting vocabulary as a criterion. Would it make sense then for every range point on the English Grammar Profile, to base its marking on vocabulary? For example, at C1 questions with a wide range of verbs, would merely accept any question mark associated with a verb associated with A2 and above.
One problem is that this would be twice as long to mark since the programme would need to loop through the system and have much more tagging to do. Another problem is that EGP is vague about what vocabulary range is. There is no formal scale that they have released.
Options are:
Don’t mark any range points and just leave vocabulary as it is divided through the EVP. This is most objective and true since it doesn’t add personal interpretation.
The other is to devise a system of marking it through either tagging a number or looping. This then would require vocabulary to be tagged before grammar which is the opposite of logic.
An alternative would be to tag only that vocabulary into the grammar by the same level or higher. This is the easiest yet is not how the EGP intends as its examples show that lower-level vocabulary is often accepted as higher-level grammar range.
The final option is to have a final category to all range related points at the end after all others are done.
Cost is the first main reason in support of the fact that studying at an Australian university has several disadvantages. One way cost of living is more expensive than that in home towns. Transportation is a part of cost, Australia has one of the most expensive transportation in the word, the daily cost of transportation is almost the same as the cost of living in hometown. We also need to spend money on food, rent and bills so much that we need a large amount of money every month, that is worse for students who have not enough time to work. The annual tuition fee is also expensive for students. The tuition fee for completing studies in Australia is about $ 100,000 which can almost buy a house in hometown. The last reason is habits of waste money for students receiving education in Australia. Almost all international students are young people, they have not yet rich experience of financial management that can lead to a large amount of unnecessary payments to be spent. Clearly, the cost is a serious issue for international students when they study in Australian universities.
The other reason overseas students have several disadvantages are for homesickness. Firstly, Students live alone in a new country, and different language or relatively isolated may lead to occurrence of mental illness which has the negative impact for the life of teenagers. Losing relationship of communication is also the reason for homesickness of overseas students. They will stay abroad for a long-term that means almost of friends will be forgotten, but friends are hard to make in the new environment that is a issue which causes the homesickness could be contracted. Finally, the difference of culture can lead to the international students unfused into social who only stay alone in the rental house when have not classes of school. They will miss their parents or ffriends, this emotion will inevitably lead to depression. To sum up, homesickness is a serious issue for overseas students whose lives will be negatively influenced in the future.
