Suspension bridges are amazing structures that can span huge distances. Their strength comes from a clever design that distributes weight. The road, or deck, where cars drive doesn't hold its own weight. Instead, it hangs (15) __________ strong vertical steel ropes called suspenders. These suspenders transfer the load of the deck and the traffic to two massive main cables above.

The main cables are the most important part. They (16) __________ all the weight from the suspenders and carry it to the tall towers at each end. If the main cables were not incredibly strong, the entire structure (17) __________ collapse. (18) __________, the towers are not the final destination for the force. The main cables continue past the towers and are secured deep into the ground in huge concrete blocks called anchorages. These anchorages (19) __________ the enormous pulling force of the cables.

Every year, as summer approaches, many Vietnamese students and their parents consider study tours abroad. Promoted by major English centers, these trips to countries like the US, the UK, or Singapore are presented as a perfect mix of education and adventure. While undeniably exciting, these programs represent a significant financial investment. Therefore, it's crucial for students to see them not just as holidays, but as valuable opportunities for growth.

The primary educational benefit of a study tour is language development. Living in an English-speaking country provides daily immersion that a classroom in Vietnam cannot replicate. Students practice English in real-life situations, from ordering food to asking for directions. This constant use builds confidence and fluency. Furthermore, being away from family, often for the first time, forces students to develop independence, problem-solving skills, and a greater sense of responsibility.

Beyond academics, the cultural experience is equally important. Participants are exposed to new customs, foods, and ways of thinking, which broadens their worldview. This exposure helps them become more open-minded and adaptable. Unlike a tourist who only sees the famous sights, a student on a study tour gets a glimpse into the everyday life of another culture. This deeper connection, even if temporary, can leave a lasting impact on a young person's perspective.

In conclusion, a summer study tour offers much more than just sightseeing. It is an intensive learning experience that can boost language skills, foster personal maturity, and expand cultural understanding. However, the true value of the trip depends entirely on the student's attitude. To make the most of this investment, participants must be active, curious, and willing to step outside their comfort zone.
