The writer’s wishes for Xie Lei.
Why do you think Xie Lei’s host family and many other British people are eager to learn about China
Suppose you are an exchange student in the UK. Would you like to be a cultural messenger If so, what could you do
Thinking
1. Why do you think Xie Lei’s host family and many other British people
are eager to learn about China
For one thing, as China now has opened up to the outside world, there are opportunities for employment in all areas. Knowing about China or speaking Chinese may give people an edge when competing for a position as China will play a major role in world affairs in the future.
For another thing, many people are fascinated by the profound Chinese culture and Chinese history–China’s vast history and culture is incredibly well-known, with its impact being seen by its appreciation globally.

When in our comfort zone, our brain doesn’t want anything to change. To experience and adjust to a new and different culture, we need to step out of our comfort zone.

The first few weeks there were absolutely overwhelming because everything was so different compared to things back home. I felt confused and lost. I also suffered from homesickness, ________ all sorts of things back home-from my mother's cooking to the neighbour's dog I used to walk.
