Question

【題目】Culture shock isn't a clinical term or medical condition. It's simply a common way to describe the confusing and nervous feelings a person may have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a new and different culture. 【1】

Those can be exciting, but those can also be overwhelming. You may feel sad, anxious, frustrated and want to go home.

Everyone may feel the pressure to change himself to fit in at one time or another—whether they've lived in the area for days or years.【2】All of your experiences before you come to your new home are part of you and what makes you special.

The following tips may help you live in a new culture more easily and make sure the new culture doesn't overpower the old.

Teach people your culture. You're the one who meets the new culture, but it doesn't mean you should be the one doing all the learning. Take the opportunity to teach your classmates and new friends about your culture. 【3】Invite them for traditional dishes from your culture, or show them how you celebrate your holidays.

Find a support group. Find people in your class or neighborhood who have recently moved here, too. You can share experiences, cheer each other up when things get difficult.

Keep in touch with home. You probably left behind your good friends and family when you moved. If it's going to be a long time until your next visit, keep in touch.【4】You not only left behind people, but also other things, like your favorite spots to hang out. Keep pictures around to remind you of home.

Remember, the key to getting over your culture shock is to understand the new culture and find a way to live comfortably within it while keeping true to the parts of your own culture that you value.

It's also important to be yourself. Try not to force yourself to change too fast or too many things all at once.【5】As long as you find a good combination between old and new cultures, you'll be fine.

A. Making friends who aren't new to the culture may help you understand the new culture better.

B. But don't feel that you need to change everything about yourself so you can stand out less.

C. When you move to a new place, you're bound to face a lot of changes.

D. Write letters, send emails, and make phone calls so that you can learn about the things happening there.

E. You will have your own pace of adjusting.

F. But the good news is that culture shock is temporary.

G. It will also help them to learn more about you in the process.
