　　Each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel. It's a great way to find out what life is like m another part of the world! You're probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in your host countryeverything from attitudes and beliefs to social customs and popular foods. But constantly having to deal with new situations can be frustrating, even stressful.

　　Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of “culture shock.” At first, you may feel like getting on the plane and heading home. It's OK to have those feelings, but the following are some tips to help you handle the challenges that you will face.

　　Don't expect to be perfect. You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel overwhelmed sometimes. If you give yourself some time, things will gradually get easier.

　　Have an open mind. While it's certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings, try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. Don't think of the host culture as better or worse, just different-you'll be more willing to try new things.

　　Participate. This is obvious, but everybody needs to be reminded. Just watching life go on around you isn't good enough. You really need to try things for yourself. Don't worry about making a mistake; people in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you have questions.

　　Your study abroad experience is a unique and special time in your life, one that you'll never forget. If you follow our suggestions, you'll be able to handle it well, and have a wonderful time. Good luck!

STUDY ABROAD

　　Many language learners think that the best way to learn a language is to spend time in a country where the language is spoken．In the past studying abroad was a distant dream for more people．Nowadays, however, it has become easier to find both opportunities and means．Many schools offer exchange programmes at various academic levels at a reasonable cost．There are programmes for junior and senior middle schools as well as colleges．Some programmes offer a “homestay” service, and visiting students will live with a host family．This is perhaps the best option for younger students, since it means that the student does not have to worry about meals and housing．Living with a host family is also a wonderful way to learn about the culture in that country．Most exchange students say that they feel as if they were truly part of their host families and that they will always stay in touch．

　　A year in a foreign country is not just about learning a language．It is true that exchange students usually become fluent in the new language, but most of them would probably tell you that they also learn many other things that are even more important．Being an exchange student helps you make friends with people from different backgrounds and understand another culture．One year is not enough to learn all about a country or a culture, of course, but it is enough to broaden your horizons and improve your understanding of the world．What is perhaps the most valuable is what you learn about yourself and your own culture．When you are at home, you seldom stop to think what kind of person you are and what your culture is really like．As an exchange student, you have to learn to depend on yourself and you will often be asked to explain your country and culture to others．It may seem strange, but many returning exchange students say that their years abroad made them understand their own country and culture for the first time．
