One possible version:
Hello, everyone!
Welcome to China. I am Li Hua now I'd like to offer you some suggestions about your life and study in China.
As you know, it may be normal to walk in the classroom when having a lesson in your country, while in China generally speaking, it is impolite to do so. However speaking up in class is encouraged here Besides, in China when you greet a tutor, it is rude to call him or her by the name.
Apart from that, travelling expenses are not big. Prices are reasonable. You can go wherever you want by subway on a bus or even a shared bike.
Wish you a happy life here.

My life experience abroad
I once studied in Canada for a year. living expenses are high and they cost an arm and a leg. So it is important to have a reasonable budget. Besides, as the university is far from the downtown area, shopping is quite depressing. Homesickness is also a problem since we have gotten out of our comfort zone.
As to study, participation is encouraged in class and each student is expected to get involved. We were often asked to make presentations. It was because of this exposure that my English was greatly improved.
In summary, life there is strange, exciting and rewarding.
