Academic Language Written Assessment Week 33

American students are falling behind academically compared to students in other countries. For example, European countries COMPARED to America, do not have social services to look forward to in their future if they are not able to find a job. This shows that, they have have to work hard when they are younger in order to have a chance at a good life. This also shows that students in foreign countries are far more ambitious when it comes to being excellent in their educational careers. In addition, I'm postive if you look online for DATA it would show that other countries are more pretigious in their studies. These websites show that other countries are leading the world in academics and we are on the bottom of the totom pole. Moreover, when it comes to American students, Asian countries have a higher RANGE in advanced knowledge and technology. In conclusion, America has fallen behind in academics due to the leisure life we live and all the piveleges that are handed to us.
