How do we adapt when we first arrive at the board duck?

Many people who study abroad for the first time are full of imagination about the external environment and full of expectations for everything, but when a person really leaves his hometown to study in a distant place, he will always face various problems. So, how should you improve your adaptability and be truly independent when you study abroad for the first time?

1. Living and living

First of all, the first thing to do when you first arrive in a country is to adapt to local habits as soon as possible and try to integrate into the local area, learning to take care of yourself. When I first came to Spain, although I was embraced by new cuisines, I would unconsciously miss the eight major domestic cuisines when I ate more paella. What hot pot, roast lamb, roast duck, soup buns... Challenge your endurance all the time. Especially when it comes to traditional festivals, I always miss the taste of my hometown. If it is because the Chinese stomach is not accustomed to eating local dishes, it is recommended that you go to the city's Chinatown to walk around, not only can you eat more authentic Chinese food, but the atmosphere of Chinatown will also make you feel like you are returning to China in an instant. In addition, learning to make Chinese food is also a good choice, even if only the old mother, you can also fry a new trick; a rice cooker, you can cook everything. If your roommate happens to like Chinese food, you can cook together, cheap and delicious.

2. Living environment

Arriving in an unfamiliar environment means leaving our comfort zone. Studying abroad is to face a variety of cultural differences, and often some students feel that the circle of Spanish classmates has not been integrated. At the same time, especially late at night when you are still nibbling on materials to write essays, loneliness can always surround international students. At this time, it is recommended that you try to harvest new friendships and find new social circles.

For example, in Spanish universities, societies are an important part of campus culture. If you can join the community that interests you and meet like-minded people in various countries, you can add a lot of color to your study abroad life. In addition, when you have time, you can participate in some social practice activities, such as volunteers, internships, etc., which can not only expand the social circle, but also add a strong ink to the resume. There have been international students who have met industry leaders in the process of volunteering, and later got internship opportunities. Why not?

Loneliness is always the main theme of life, even if you live alone, you must enjoy it.

3. Language issues

Although many international students go out with Dele B2, when they really go to another country, they will still have various problems due to language problems. However, many schools are no longer B2 for language, but the native C1 level, so in terms of language, whether it is before or after going abroad, you should not give up learning. Show your self-confidence, communicate more with the locals, and later you will find that although you still seem to make mistakes, you are no longer afraid of making mistakes.

What should I do if I can't keep up with my studies? Originally, the language was stumbling, and I had to read so much literature, write so much material, and do so much pre, and many people felt that they could not cope with it. If the purpose of your study abroad is to learn solid knowledge, then honestly nibbling on books is the best solution. If you can't chew on the book, try to talk to the professors and ask them for solutions. Sometimes, what you think of as a small topic is discussed by an interesting professor, and the soul of scholarship is instantly rekindled.

Here are some tips: learn to talk and release stress. Talk to your family, friends at home, or do stress-relieving things like exercise, travel, or meditation. Be sure not to hold it in your heart and learn to release your own pressure. When you encounter difficulties, seek help from a psychological institution or similar organization. Professional people can always give professional advice.
