undergraduates are postsecondary students without college degrees. often, undergraduates want the experience of life in new cultures. maybe they want to learn another language well. many students want degrees in business, engineering, or technology. these subjects are not always available in their home countries. some governments and companies send their best graduate students and workers to other countries for new knowledge and skills. and some international students from expensive private schools at home save money through study abroad programs, especially in developing nations.decide whether the following statements are true or false. write “t” for true and “f” for false on the answer sheet. 1.f2.f3.t4.t5.f1.the word school usually means “a large group of fish”.2.developing countries have a very high level of industrialization re technology.3.the united states has the most students from other countries.4.the meaning of post secondary is “after high school”.5.international students cant afford tuition to state or government universities in their native countries.section iinew words amatch each vocabulary word on the left with the correct definition on the right.
