Daily life English
The first problem is for living. A student has to know well about rental words, the names of appliances. For example,
Types of residence:
A room in a house. But shares kitchen and bathroom. Cheap, but not convenient.
An apartment. Single kitchen and bathroom. Rent more expensive and convenient.
A condo (with air-conditioner, swimming pool and gym in the building. Much more expensive and comfortable
Tips: The most important factor is safety. Where you live should be a peaceful and friendly community with direct bus line to university. Higher rent commonly means good community.
Shopping and Dining Out
The most often visited place is supermarket in daily life, where you can buy what you eat and drink, and daily necessaries, paying attention to the price tag for vegetables and fruits are sold for each or pound, which is different from China.
“For here or to go?” is the question you will hear in any fast-food restaurant there is no tips in such place. You have to take your food to the seat and clean your own mess after eating. While when you go to a better restaurant with the service of a waitress or waiter, you have to pay the bills with tips, which is approximately from minimum 10% to higher of the money you spent totally.
Traveling
Taking a bus is the key way for daily commute. So, monthly pass is necessary for a student. Remember, to request a stop before your destination. Pull the yellow line or push the red button for a next stop. Travelling is not very expensive in developed countries. If you go with a tourist group, remember to pay the tips to the guide every day. And remember to take the slippers, toothbrush, tooth-paste, towel with you for they are not prepared in hotels for green purpos
Study Tips
Be cautious that it is very tough to study in the universities abroad. One is the language barrier. Understanding the English lectures with large major vocabulary and writing essays in English are not easy for overseas students. The other one is the completely different system from that of China. If your grade average scores lower than the requirement in the faculty you will be expelled from the school. But in exchange you will have the freedom to change your major to whatever you wish. As long as your grade average meets the minimum requirements of you aimed. The sooner you make the decision, the better situation you will be. Also, always remember to check the important dates and deadlines with your school or your faculty. Normally in the first month, you can change as much course as you want without getting charges or drop out of the course and get a full refund for you payment.
Making Friends and Self Expression
For overseas students, it is often difficult to make friends with local students due to different cultural and educational background. You can find it hard to start a conversation or join into a topic that everyone else to discussing.. But keep the principle of being polite and respectful to others. Do not be too shy and timid to show your appreciation, your regret and your love towards your friends. Or you will be expressed as rude and weird. Don’t be surprised that none of your new friends here will guess what your desire is, or what problems you have. So remember to show yourself and be frank and honest enough. Independence is the key factor to adjust yourself to overseas life and make everything go smoothly and happily. The last one is always being ready to help friends or strangers who are in great need which is a commonly recognized value in local people.
