Reference Words: ➢ to strike sb as new, to come across, to stand, to leave sb behind, to take care of, to feel sick about, little command of Sample Answers ❖ When many foreign students first arrived in America, everything struck them as new. But things, as those who have had such an experience say, are not always so easy. These students will have to come across a number of problems and challenges: Firstly , they face such problems as finding a place to live. Secondly, they must stand the pain caused by their leaving family behind and learning to take care of themselves. Thirdly, the strange food and the failure to adapt to the new environment make them feel sick about their homes. Finally, some of them are even troubled by their little command of English. ❖ Owing to the differences in social systems, beliefs, and values, people, once transplanted into a new culture, may suffer from the culture shock and can’t adapt themselves to the new environment. This can be best emphasized by the experience of Randy in the USA, a promising youth coming from Taiwan. Randy’s ambition is to do his college work in America, but when he entered one of the best USA universities, it was nothing like he thought. To be concrete, he could not communicate with his roommates, neither could he get used to the food and American way of being a student. Consequently, he felt homesick and even thought of giving up his study. ❖ As a matter of fact, it is nothing strange for new comers to go through these sufferings. To deal with these problems successfully, first of all, they must be mentally prepared, long before they leave home, for the problems they are likely to meet with in the new land. Besides, they must respond to the culture shock with positive action. When in the new culture, they will find all or most of the familiar signs at home removed from their daily life, thus suffering from anxiety and frustration, just like fish out of water. But as long as they make active adjustments to the new, they will shift into step with the flow of life there and finally become a part of it. 2.
