【推荐2】Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress. This feeling is often called “culture shock”.
Generally speaking, there are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture-everything will seem exciting.
But it won’t be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the second stage. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make and even simple things like shopping have become challenges. It is at this “stress” stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is referred to as “culture shock”.
However, “culture shock” doesn’t last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to deal with it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people act in your new environment.
The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like certain aspects of the new culture better than those of your own culture.
“Culture shock” is common. Everyone in a new situation will go through some forms of it. Continue to be brave! And dealing with “culture shock” will be a piece of cake.
1. According to the text, what makes people experience “culture shock”?A.Being homesick. | B.Having much stress. | C.Living in new homes. | D.Moving abroad. |
A.nervous | B.interested | C.stressful | D.moved |
