London. It was the first time that she 2. （leave）China. “I was very excited but also quite nervous. I didn’t know 3. to expect,” Xie Lei recalled. Xie Lei is studying for a business qualification at a university in China and has come to our university on a year-long exchange programme. “I chose the exchange programme 4. I wanted to learn about 5. (globe) business and improve my English. My ambition is to set up a business in China 6. graduation,” she explained. At first, Xie Lei had to adapt 7. life in a different country. “You have to get used to a whole new life,” she said. “I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn’t know the English names for. When I got lost, I had to ask passers-by 8. help, but people here speak fast and use words I’m not familiar 9. . I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!” Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation, Xie Lei chose to live with a host family, 10. can help with her adaptation to the new culture. “When I miss home, I feel comforted to have a second family,” Xie Lei said. “When there’s something I don’t know or understand, I can ask them. They are also keen 11. learn about China. Laura, the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future. We take turns to cook each evening. They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs! Laura says she always feels 12. (hunger) when she smells it, so I taught her how to cook it, too.” Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements. The first time that she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge 13. other people had said if she cited their ideas, but 14. he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was 15. (confuse) because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read lots of 16. (information) in order to form a wise opinion 17. her own. Xie Lei also found that many courses included students’ 18. (participate) in class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, and raise questions, as well as give presentations. At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say, but what surprised her was 19. she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation 20. traditional Chinese art was a great success, 21. boosted my confidence,” she said. “I’ll use these skills back home for presentations. They’ll help me build a strong business in the future.” Now halfway through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more at home in the UK. What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. “22. (engage) in British culture has helped,” she said. “As well as studying hard, I’ve been involved 23. social activities. British people are 24. (fascinate) by our culture and eager to learn more about it, so I’m keen to share my culture 25. them. While I’m learning about business, I’m also acting 26. a cultural messenger building a bridge between us.” We will follow Xie Lei’s progress in later editions, but for now, we wish her all the best! Studying Abroad Is it a Good or a Bad Idea (P20) Dear Editor, In the past few decades, there 1. (be) a dramatic increase in the number of people 2. (study) abroad. Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are 3. (great). To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive than at home and could end up 4. (cost) most families an arm and a leg. Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save money. Another important factor 5. (consider) is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an 6. (familiar) environment with 7. (limit) language skills. Some may struggle and suffer 8. culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become 9 (depress). Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches 10. teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students. A final point to consider is 11. while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people 12. study in China also have a great future to look forward to! As China has boomed, the educational environment has improved significantly, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities and outstanding professors, 13. (help) to educate young people who will contribute 14. the economy and further strengthen our country. To sum up, one cannot deny the fact 15. studying abroad has its disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad, you should consider these many factors. Kind regards, Wang Li (mother of twin girls) Dear Editor, Is studying abroad a good idea or not? There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great difficulties for a person who is brave, optimistic, and willing to work hard! The first advantage of studying abroad is personal 1. (grow). The education you gain and the experiences you have will change you 2. the better. For example, you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal 3. all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general 4. (competent). Another advantage is the 5. (increase) chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoys 6. (promote) friendship between nations. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. Cooperating 7. people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight 8. our own culture. Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity 9. contribute to the development of our motherland China's global outlook, with projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative, has helped us make connections 10. the world. Therefore, China needs more 11. (talent) young people 12. a global perspective who are highly competent with languages, have leadership and 13. (organisation) skills, and have strong cultural awareness. Students who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities. and these in turn will provide them 14. better career opportunities. All in all, studying abroad helps to build character and increase people's understanding of cultural diversity while strengthening China and building a 15. (share) future for all. I think this life-changing experience is certain worthwhile, and I hope my child will study abroad in the future. 张家口第一中学六年一贯制高三年级 文化交流主题课文集锦 班级： 姓名： 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
