让你留学生活事半功倍的小贴士

Set goals for yourself

Studying and navigating your way in a foreign country, as well as getting used to new cultures, accents and foods is undoubtedly daunting. But rather than letting fear and anxiety hold you back, remember that you’re in a new place where nobody knows you.

给自己订立目标

在一个陌生的国家开始学习和生活，还要适应新的文化、口音和食物，当然会让人无所适从。不过，与其把时间浪费在焦虑不安的情绪中，不如换个角度想想，记住这可是个崭新的开始。

Volunteer

Volunteering is not only a great way to do some good, it’s also a great way to network and build your skills outside the classroom. By volunteering, you’ll come into contact with locals from diverse backgrounds, encouraging you to keep an open mind about people, learn about their social mores and become a global citizen, a crucial skill in our increasingly interconnected world.

做志愿者

志愿者活动不仅能让你做些有意义的事，也能建立人脉和社会实践技能。你可以从中接触到具有不同生活背景的当地人，助你学会换位思考，学习他们的社会观念，成为一名国际公民。在如今这个地球村，这项技能十分关键。

Travel

According to research, people who spend their money on experiences rather than material things are happier. However, this doesn’t mean spending beyond your means and blowing money at the pub or splashing out on shiny new gadgets. Instead, why not consider travelling – if your budget permits it – before you graduate and get stuck in a rut of work and commitments?

去旅行

研究表明相比花钱买东西，把钱花在生活体验上的人更快乐。当然，这不是说让你去酒馆或在各种闪闪发亮的新玩意儿上乱花钱。如果预算允许，在你毕业前，趁着还不用纠结于工作和承诺，为何不考虑旅行呢？

Socialise

It’s tempting to only socialise with students from your native country as there’s comfort in familiarity. After all, you’ll feel less overwhelmed when in the presence of others who speak the same language as you, who share similar cultures and relate to the things.

走出社交舒适圈

你可能不自觉地就只与来自本国的学生交朋友，毕竟与讲母语的人交流压力小多了，你们文化背景相似，可以产生更多共鸣。

英语“cultural shock”译为“文化冲击”，当一个人身处陌生的文化环境中或突然转变到另一种生活方式时，由于一时无法适应不同的语言、文化、观念、食物和生活习惯等因素带来的冲击，可能会产生焦虑不安的心理状态，其程度和影响因人而异。虽然文化冲击是个不小的挑战，但有研究表明它也有“许多正面影响”，例如能提升自信心，助力自我成长等。
