English Writing Exercise Needs and Wants
Instructions:
Compare “need” and “want” in sentences about six people: you and me, a boy and a girl, a man and a woman. Also, use positives and negatives of either “need” or “want” in some of the sentences. Example: I want a car, but I need to finish my college degree. She wants ice cream; she does not want broccoli.
Great job!

- A boy and a girl want to move abroad to study.
You don't say "to abroad".
You would rather say that you were "moving abroad" then "traveling abroad" when you are studying in another country.
You did not make any statements about "you", or a man and a woman, so you need to add at least one more sentence.
I do not want to live alone in the upcoming years, so I need to find a boyfriend.
If you want to use "but", you could do it with this sentence:
I am tired of living alone, but I do not want a boyfriend.
Do you see the difference?
I need to lose some weight, but I do not want to go on a diet.
In my opinion, the way you wrote it was ok, but I was taught that whenever you use "but" to join clauses, you should always use a comma.
