“欢迎你,谢蕾!”
商科学生搭建文化交流的桥梁
半年前,19岁的谢蕾告别家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的班机。这是她第一次离开中国。“我很激动,也很紧张,不知道会发生什么。”谢蕾回忆道。
谢蕾在中国一所大学攻读商科,来我校参加为期一年的交流项目。“之所以选择这个交流项目,是因为我想了解全球商务,并提高我的英语水平。我的志向是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。”她解释道。
起初,谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯种全新的生活。”她说,“我得学会使用公共交通,学会要到我不知道英文名称的东西。迷路时,我得向路人求助但是这里的人讲话语速很快,而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复!”
虽然一些留学生住在学校里,但是谢蕾选择住在寄宿家庭有助于她适应异国文化。“有第二个家,想家时我会得到些安慰。”谢蕾说。“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时,我可以咨询他们。他们对中国也很感兴趣,我房东的女儿劳拉将来想到中国求学。我们每晚轮流做饭,他们真的很爱吃我做的番茄炒蛋!劳拉说,每次闻到香味,她就感到饥肠辘辘,于是我教她做这道菜。
谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时,导师跟她解释说,如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明,不过他主要还是想了解她本人的观点!谢蕾困惑不解,因为她觉得自己懂得没有别人多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献,形成自己睿智的观点。
此外,谢蕾发现很多课程的最终成绩都包含学生的课堂参与。学生需要形成观点、提供例子、运用概念、提出问题并且还要进行展示。刚开始的时候,谢蕾不知道该说些什么。但令她惊喜的是,仅仅几周时间,她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我的中国传统艺术展示非常成功,提升了我的自信心。”她说,“回国后,我会将这些技能运用到展示中,帮助我未来打造一家强大的企业。”
年的交换生生涯现已过半,谢蕾感觉在英国过得轻松自如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情现在对她来说显得十分平常。融入英国文化使我受益匪浅。”她说,“努力学习之余我还参加了一些社交活动。英国人对我们的文化十分着迷渴望了解更多中国文化,因此我也乐于同他们分享。攻读商科的同时,我也扮演着文化使者的角色,在中外文化之间架起一座桥梁。
我们会在随后的几期中跟踪报道谢蕾的进展情况,但现在我们祝她一切顺利。
