We always want to prepare ourselves to the changes we may face when we go to a different country. Well, I have to say that for me, even after living in the US for one year and a half, I am still not used to the changes of weather, or how to manage my money well. There are many things that can give us culture shocks, but it is up to us whether to make it a big shock or a small one.
I know that changing schools was a big thing for me. It helped me to be stronger and open towards meeting new people. Sometimes it feels like everybody is already in a group. This makes it harder for someone else to go in. But, it is not that hard. Actually many people know that you are from another country. They feel curious about your “history”, and would often think you are a different man.
Another thing that can produce a shock to me is the sudden change of weather. During the last couple of days, there was an ice-snow storm. It was the biggest in 15 years in the state of Missouri. It was raining ice, really, and you could hear sounds outside the window like little pieces of rocks hitting it, of course it was the ice. It started accumulating so heavily that the University had to close down for two days, and it got worse when it started snowing after the ice storm.
As international students, you may at times find something very difficult, but hey, anyone can beat and overcome it to make studying aboard an unforgettable experience.

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which do you think is the best?
I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care. ???????????????????????????????????????? Robin, aged 16, Birmingham |
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying,? "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime." We need to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears. ??????????????????????? Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool |
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster（灾难）like the earthquake. It's good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary（工资）to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon |
Giving money to charity can help, but it's not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government. ?????????????????????????? Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle |
The best thing we can do is to send experts（专家）like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves. ???????????????? Robert, aged 16, Cardiff |
