My decision to teach English in China was completely3. I did my Bachelor degree in Education at the university,4 a teaching assistant in a primary school for two years during my study and I was5 of working with kids.

I6 came to China in August 2019 and worked in a high school in Huayuan. At first, I was a little bit7 , but I quickly adapted to a new teaching environment. I8 my teaching job more and more each day.

After my 10-month contract expired (到期), I left China. I thought I would9 come back because I needed new adventures and fresh start. It was no longer a10 for me. As it turned out, I should have never said never. After spending some time in Vietnam and Cambodia, I started11 China. I booked my tickets, flew to Hong Kong and took a train to my12 workplace -Huayuan. I got a job and started right away. It was a little bit13 experience to me. I worked with high school students and primary students before, but never with kindergarten kids. The real14 was just about to begin. . .

It is, above all, a lot of15 . These little Chinese "monsters" are extremely active and amusing. There is no way you can enter the classroom without being noticed by them. That always makes my day.

Prepare ahead of time.

Preparation is key when learning how to manage culture shock. Doing some research on the new languages, cuisine, transportation and even customs before departure will help reduce uncomfortable feelings enormously. Your school's study abroad office, academic advisor, and even some professional study abroad agencies will help with any questions you may have.

One of the best ways to alleviate culture shock is to interact with locals and learn from them. When you approach locals, like a university professor, new classmate, or even a museum tour guide, you're bound to receive a more welcoming response and learn a lot about not only their experiences, but the cultural differences between you two as well.

Take time to check in on yourself.

As you go through this new experience, it will help you know yourself if you're doing okay or if you need a little extra support. It will also help you catch those feelings faster and help you continue to enjoy your study abroad experience.

Stay connected with those at home.

Stay in touch with your friends and family with international messaging apps, like WhatsApp, or send them postcards as you bounce around from city to city, which will help keep you grounded as you continue your study abroad adventure and help prepare you for your return.

Culture shock is common when you are about to set out an international adventure. You are bound to enjoy your time and manage the possibility of culture shock all at the same time.

A. Embrace the new culture.

B. Follow our advice and be confident.

C. Besides, rely on the resources available to you.

D. And the experience will make you that much stronger.

E. You can keep a journal to keep track of your thoughts and feelings.

F. Let's find how you can relieve the feelings associated with culture shock.

G. Let's take a closer look at some of these culture shock examples together.

Every country in the world, old or new, has a rich and storied history. They celebrate their own holidays, cook national dishes, listen to their own styles of music and wear clothes appropriate for their culture. Take some time to learn the history, art and customs of the country you'll be visiting. Showing your knowledge of the local customs and history will make those around you realize you truly care about their culture.

Language are hard to master. You spent years in grade school learning all the grammar and intricacies (复杂) of English. Why not spend more time learning a whole new language — especially when so much of the world speak English already? Even if you can only recite a couple of key phrases, it shows that you're making the effort to bridge the cultural gap.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you research a country or how well you know the language, there will always be some culture shocks and confusion. Words, actions or gestures that are not offensive (冒犯的) to us can be very offensive to someone from another culture. When this occurs, it is important to stay patient. Working through these frustrations together will lead to a smarter and stronger bond between you and your friend from another culture.

When I learn a new language, or study the history of a culture I'm unfamiliar with, I think of it as exploring a new world. There are so many things that make each culture unique. You have to be open to trying and learning new things in order to fit in well in another country. Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural perspective.

All of this being said, there are so many similarities between people of all nations. We all laugh at the same physical comedy, groan when we have to clean up our pets' messes and cry when we lose a loved one. After all, we are all humans.

To use a popular label, the man in the case is a so-called adult baby, because his deeds make him al-most the same as a baby. However, he burns money faster than any normal baby. He spent 2 million yuan in two years overseas, but could not finish even the preparatory course. We do not mean to judge his choice, but someone who lacks the basic ability to survive has little chance of success in any modern society.

In a later interview, his mother was in tears and said she regretted not having taught her son well. She also told the story about how she "educated" her son: by meeting all his demands. When he did not perform well in school, she simply spent money sending him overseas. She would buy whatever he wanted. That was bad for her and bad for him.

No one is born an adult baby. It is a lack of proper education that makes adult babies. The failure of the young man has much to do with his parents giving in to his every demand.

The young man might be an extreme case. However, there are many more families that fail to educate their children properly and simply consider "raising a child" as "buying everything" they want. That might in turn make more adult babies for this society, and it is time for them to change.

Bolivians will stare at you, give angry looks, and often won't even say hi when you come to their stores and restaurants. After some conversations with locals, we were told that the negative attitude had nothing to do with us. Bolivians are just not used to foreigners and don't really know how to handle tourists. But we can't even blame them. After a long and hard time as a Spanish colony, people are still very suspicious of foreigners.

What we loved most and surprised us is how Bolivians keep their traditions alive, which is truly amazing. we often saw locals wearing their traditional clothes and marketing their self-made medicine. These and other efforts to preserve their customs deserve respect. You just can't see that in many countries in the world.

I loved their clothes so much that l borrowed a traditional Bolivian dress to try to overcome the "tourist vs local barrier" and show the locals on the island that we truly love their culture and appreciate it. The experience was absolutely wonderful. We walked to the sunset point and locals were smiling and waving at us, cheering and we felt like we had a "connecting moment".

Even though we had this cultural shock and despite the negative feelings at the beginning of our travels in Bolivia, we have to say that we will never forget how special Bolivia was to us.

Dear Michael.

How are you? These days, I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation.

……

Yours truly,

Li Hua

On March 3, 2022, Jiang Mengnan(receive) the "Touching China" (感动中国) award for 2021. 

In 1992, Jiang Mengnan was born in Hunan. When she was six (month) old, she lost her hearing. From then on, she couldn't hear anything at all and (she) world became silent. Her parents began to teach her to read people's lips (嘴唇) and speak. It was not easy, but her parents never gave up. After a lot practice, Jiang Mengnan learned to speak. 

When Jiang Mengnan(be) old enough, she went to school. She tried to understand what the teachers said by (read) their lips. She worked very hard and overcame a lot of difficulties. She  (final) became a top student. In 2011, she got a high score in gaokao and went to Jilin University. In 2018, she was accepted by Tsinghua University as a PhD (博士) student. 

"I think I am(luck). I want to thank my parents, teachers and friends, have been helping me all the time. And best way to pay them back is to do something good for society," Jiang Mengnan said.

Tim Cameron lost his wallet. Luckily a kind man went out of his way to get his lost wallet back to  (he) in a creative manner.

Tim Cameron lost his wallet on the way home from work and person who found it got in touch with him through his bank account. He sent four transfers (转账) of £0.01 each with a reference (附注) spelling out the (intend) of contacting the person who received it.

Deeply (move) by the man, Tim Cameron shared it on Twitter. He said, "I lost my wallet on the way home from work  accident. I didn't have many things in the wallet  (indicate) my personal information, so the kind man got in touch with me through four transfers of £0.01 each with a reference up to 18 characters and  (eventual) returned my wallet to me."

The lovely tweet  (view) by more than 33,000 people. One viewer, James Dartnell, said, "It is an absolute legend,  makes me realize that there are truly good people out there. It is  (amaze) to see not everyone is untrustworthy (不可信的)."

On August 23, my son went biking in the mountain with his friends. 1 , we were waiting at home with lunch ready around noon. At 12: 15, he still didn't  2 . Then we got the  3 news that he was badly hurt when doing a relatively easy jump. 

We  4 up the mountain in the car and got him to the 5 for X- rays. We were told that one of his leg bones was broken and that he had to  6 for at least 6 weeks. My son is a (n) 7 boy, who loves soccer, biking, running, climbing, swimming, etc. When all the outdoor activities were 8 put on hold (暂停) , I taught him to regard it as a chance to 9 about the inner world. We started talking about beliefs, feelings, 10 , trust, and kindness. He was  11 used to his new life. 

My son fell because he didn't focus his attention. He told me that it was a super- easy jump so he didn't spend any time  12 . Kids may not be very focused because they are always trying to test their limits, showing off, or getting lost in their thoughts. This injury (受伤) helped our son see the  13 of focusing his mind and body. 

I would never wish an injury in anyone; yet it is an immediate way to learn how to be patient in our life. My biggest  14 has been that my son may have learned more from this injury than anything else he's gone through this year, and, hopefully, this  15 will be memorized by him forever in his life.

The freezing cold winter really prevents me from going to Beibei District, Chongqing. You really can't imagine how cold a southern China city can be until you experience a winter there.  However, while beneath three quilts (被子), I found it still first wet and then cold. Without the wetness, there will be no coldness, for which spicy (辛辣的) food has been popular since very long time ago.

 The hotness and wetness is really beyond imagination. While you are out, with shade everywhere but useless to prevent the high temperature, what you have to put up with is wetness added to hotness.  Among the famous spicy foods, hot­pot is the most preferred by both natives and newcomers from other provinces as well as foreign countries, as can be seen from the fact that Chongqing is an international city.

 As the home of beauties and bridges, it is also a charming city of mountains and rivers, of which I prefer Jialing River most with its green water running smoothly.

People there are very kind especially the old people enjoying a comfortable life either in the shade of trees swinging their fans or playing chess on a square. Living in Chongqing is not a bad choice. 

A. The steaming hot summer prevents me from going there, too.

B. The winter in Chongqing is pretty cold, which is beyond my imagination.

C. All in all, what I had experienced there really left me a deep impression.

D. I still remember when I was in Southwest University, I had to keep warm with three quilts.

E. Beauties in Chongqing are quite charming as well as knowledgeable.

F. Although it has disadvantages, Chongqing has many advantages over other cities.

G. Ancestors in Chongqing were so intelligent that they knew spicy foods could make the weather easy and enjoyable to tolerate.

Summer in Europe is very nice for us to visit one of our favourite cities for a break. Below we have put together a short list of our favourite summer break locations (地方) that offer a great balance of culture, sunshine and fun.

Berlin, the second most populous city in the European Union, gets the third place on our list. It has three famous airports: Tegel International Airport, Tempelhof International Airport, and Schonefeld International Airport. 

The capital of Germany is on this list not only because it is a fantastic place to go on holiday but also since it teaches a very important lesson to humanity (人,人性). The Berlin Wall, the better part of which still remains well kept for educational and amusement (娱乐) aims, reminds us of the extra costs paid by everyone. Today, the undamaged part of the Wall, known as the East Side Gallery, shows striking murals (壁画); if you are interested in this chapter (时期) of the city's history, there is also a Berlin Wall Memorial you would want to visit. The Potsdamer Platz, divided into two by the Wall, is a newly developed area that is famous for a large shopping center and movie theatre complexes (混合体), and adds a bit of modern colour to Berlin's historical value.

Much like the other places that made the list, Berlin is also a city of art. The city has over one hundred and fifty museums in all, and a few of the ones providing an extraordinary experience include the Art Center Berlin Friedrichstrabe, the Museum of Indian Art, and the Museum of East Asian Art. Appreciating Berlin's art is much like taking a university course in itself and it can only be truly appreciated in several trips.

This is a story between a woman and a tree in America. 

Julia Hill was born in 1974. As she grew up, she realized it was important to protect trees. At the age of 23, she heard some bad news one day. A company wanted to cut down part of a forest in California. In the forest there was a 1,000-year-old redwood tree, which was 70 metres tall! Julia wasn't happy about this. She thought, "If I sit in the redwood tree, the company can't cut it down." 

So she traveled to California to protect the redwood tree. In order to stop the company, Julia climbed up the redwood tree, built a small treehouse and lived in it. Her friends cooked food for her every day. Many news reporters came to interview her. Julia talked to those reporters by mobile phone. 

Many people supported Julia, but other people were not on her side. They tried to stop her. The company used a helicopter to fly around her treehouse. It made a lot of noise and brought strong wind. But nothing could stop Julia. She stayed in the redwood tree for two years and eight days. 

In the end, Julia was successful. The company agreed not to cut down the redwood tree. Julia and her friends became very happy.

Peter's uncle lives in the country. He is a man full of humor (幽默). One day, Peter went to see his uncle. His uncle drove his car to the station to meet him. On their way home, they saw many people. His uncle waved (挥手) to everybody. Peter was surprised (惊奇) and said, "Uncle, you wave to everybody. Do you know all of them?"

"No, Peter," answered his uncle. "When I wave to someone who knows me, he'll feel happy. When I wave to someone and he doesn't know me, he will feel surprised and then he will have something to think about, he will make his road seem shorter (更短). So I can make everybody happy."

My name is Zhou Luyang. There are three people in my family. They are my father, my mother and I. I'm a twelve-year-old girl. I like listening to music. I often read books in the evening after doing my homework. So I am good at learning Chinese, and I can finish my Chinese homework well.

My favourite colours are green, pink and red. I like listening to music when I amtired. I like Jay Chows songs. I can sing many of his songs.

My father is a maths teacher. He works in a primary school. He usually goes to work on foot because the school is near our home. When I meet some difficult maths problems, I often ask my father for help. My mother is a worker in a big factory. She sometimes works at night and sleeps the next day. I love my parents very much.

I have many friends because I like to help others. I can get help from my friends too. This is me, a happy girl.
