阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文Q
More and more parents are sending their children on "micro-foreign study tours“. Parents hope these tours, typically 10 to 14 days travelling through English-speaking countries such as America or the UK, will help improve their children's language proficiency as well as provide them with a greater understanding of the local customs and culture.

But while these tours are “micro" in terms of time, they certainly aren't micro in price. The average tour costs RMB 30,000 ！
And just how useful are they? First of all，participating children don't have much time to “study”. They typically attend a few morning lessons then travel to some world-famous universities or scenic spots in the afternoon and on the weekend. Their exposure to the local culture comes mainly during the time they stay with a local family, usually 2 or 3 days. For the
rest of the tour they are with their Chinese classmates，almost always speaking Chinese. And on some tours ，organizers take students, who are often too young to make sensible decisions, on shopping trips where they're encouraged to buy all kinds of useless "souvenirs". No wonder when they return, most children talk of the "fun we had，’ and "places we saw’’ rather than the "things we learnt".
So some parents are now having second thoughts about the value of these micro-foreign study tours. How much do they really help their children? Are they worth the money? And finally，are the tours meant for study or just for pleasure? 高考网Www.gaoKw.CoM
