Activity 1 Discussion
1. What other challenges do you think students studying abroad might face (Critical thinking)
One big challenge that many students have is the language—they may think they are good at English,but they are not used to hearing English being spoken at a normal speed, they are not used to English being spoken with a heavy accent, and they are not familiar with many English idioms. Another challenge may be coming to terms with the differences in a culture that is different to their own. Locals, however, will generally be understanding that the student is new to the country, and will appreciate attempts to learn and understand more about their culture. That is why it is best to be kind, respectful, and enthusiastic to try new things when in a foreign country—locals will be more willing to help new students and will be patient.
Post-reading
2. How do you think we should prepare to handle these challenges before going aboard (Creative thinking)
The best way to prepare is to try to immerse themselves in English before they go abroad. They should watch a variety of English-language films and TV programmes without using subtitles,listen to English songs,and use every opportunity to speak with native English speakers. It can also be scary to try to fit into the new lifestyle while there, since it is so different to their own. Maybe students will face times when they don’t understand the proper way to do something, such as paying utility bills. In this case, there is always someone who is willing to help — either at your university campus or even in a local shop.
What is Culture Shock 文化冲击
Culture shock is a condition that affects people who travel to a country different from their own. The term describes a traveler’s feelings of bewilderment when the environment and culture change from the one that he or she is familiar with. The unfamiliar surroundings, foreign language and strange habits of a new country can all contribute to a feeling of uneasiness and confusion.
Culture Shock U-Curve
Be a cultural messenger;
Break the barriers between different cultures;
Be more confident!
Face the difficulties in life!
Adapt to the new situation!
Challenge ourselves constantly!

“WELCOME, XIE LEI!”
BUSINESS STUDENT BUILDING BRIDGES
Six months ago, 19-year-old Xie Lei said goodbye to her family and friends and boarded a plane for London. It was the first time that she had left China. “I was very excited but also quite nervous. I didn’t know what to expect,” Xie Lei recalled.

Paragraph 1
Xie Lei is studying for a business qualification at a university in China and has come to our university on a year-long exchange programme. "I chose the exchange programme because I wanted to learn about global business and improve my English. My ambition is to set up a business in China after graduation," she explained.
be to do 表示“将要,将来”
Paragraph 2
At first, Xie Lei had to adapt to life in a different country. “You have to get used to a whole new life,” she said. “I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn’t know the English names for. When I got lost, I had to ask passers-by for help, but people here speak fast and use words I’m not familiar with. I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!”

Paragraph 3
Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation, Xie Lei chose to live with a host family, who can help with her adaptation to the new culture. “When I miss home, I feel comforted to have a second family,” Xie Lei said. “When there’s something I don’t know or understand, I can ask them. They are also keen to learn about China. Laura, the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future. We take turns to cook each evening. They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs! Laura says she always feels hungry when she smells it, so I taught her how to cook it, too.”

Paragraph 4
Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements. The first time that she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read lots of information in order to form a wise opinion of her own.

Xie Lei also found many courses included students’ participation in class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts,and raise questions, as well as give presentations. At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success, which boosted my confidence.” she said. “I’ll use these skills back home for presentations,They’ll help me build a strong business in the future.”

Paragraph 6
Now halfway through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more at home in the UK. What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. “ Engaging in British culture has helped,” she said. “As well as studying hard, I’ve been involved in social activities. British people are fascinated by our culture and eager to learn more about it, so I’m keen to share my culture with them. While I’m learning about business. I’m also acting as a cultural messenger building a bridge between us.”

We will follow Xie Lei’s progress in later editions, but for now, we wish her all the best.
