雖然一些留學(xué)生住在學(xué)校里，但是謝蕾選擇住在寄宿家庭，這有助于她適應(yīng)異國(guó)文化。“有第二個(gè)家，想家時(shí)我會(huì)得到些安慰。謝蕾說(shuō)。“當(dāng)我有不知道或不理解的事情時(shí)，我可以咨詢他們。Para4Althoughsomeforeignstudents

此外，謝蕾發(fā)現(xiàn)很多課程的最終成績(jī)都包含學(xué)生的課堂參與。學(xué)生需要形成觀點(diǎn)、提供例子、運(yùn)用概念、提出問(wèn)題并且還要進(jìn)行展示。Para6

一年的交換生生涯現(xiàn)已過(guò)半，謝蕾感覺(jué)在英國(guó)過(guò)得輕松自如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情現(xiàn)在對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)顯得十分平常?！叭谌胗?guó)文化使我受益匪淺?！彼f(shuō)，“努力學(xué)習(xí)之余我還參加了一些社交活動(dòng)。Para7

英國(guó)人對(duì)我們的文化十分著迷，渴望了解更多中國(guó)文化，因此我也樂(lè)于同他們分享。攻讀商科的同時(shí)，我也扮演著文化使者的角色，在中外文化之間架起一座橋梁?！盉ritishpeoplearefascinatedbyourcultureandeagertolearnmoreaboutit,soI’mkeentosharemyculturewiththem.WhileI’mlearningaboutbusiness,I’malsoactingasaculturalmessenger

我們會(huì)在隨后的幾期中跟蹤報(bào)道謝蕾的進(jìn)展情況，但現(xiàn)在我們祝她一切順利。
