Ⅳ.阅读理解
When it comes to learning abroad,you may feel uncertain and nervous.Then a supportive host family can be hugely significant in making you feel comfortable in a new country and a new culture.Here are some reasons.
Imagine if you could find a warm greeting upon arrival at your chosen destination.Your homesickness will be cured by the quality time you spend with your host family.Sharing conversations,trying each other's hobbies or enjoying a movie in the evening together can create bonds and friendships that last a lifetime.
While you live with a local family,you can make the most out of everyday conversations in a relaxing environment,which will encourage you to learn new words in new ways that you cannot always pick up in the classroom.You will make much faster progress in your learning as you'll be putting your skills to use outside the classroom as well as with native speakers.
While you live with your host family,you will eat the local cuisine and get to know the true character of the local food culture.Although each family does it differently,this will give you invaluable insights into local life.You may even learn some delicious family recipes and should also share yours.
While exploring unknown pathways can be exciting,sometimes you just have to be somewhere on time.Living with a host family will teach you how to travel like a local and navigate the London Underground like a pro (老手) and read a train schedule with so much confidence that a native speaker asks you for direction.
Daily life with your host family will teach you so much about the culture and traditions of the country you are living in.It will also teach you to embrace cultural differences.Not only will you return home with new language skills,but also you will hopefully come home with a second family abroad—a true home away from home.
