My ambition is to set up a businessin China after, "she explained. 谢蕾在中国一所大学攻读商科，来我校参加为期一年的交流项目。“之所以选择这个交流项目，是因为我想了解全球商务，并提高我的英语水平。我的志向是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。”她解释道。 1.qualification. n.资格，学历 2.a year-long 为期一年的 3.exchange programme 交流项目 4.want to do sth. 想做某事 5.global adj. 全球的 6.global business 全球商务 7.ambition n. 志向，抱负 8.set up 成立 9. graduation 毕业 At first, Xie Lei had to adapt to 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 for help,but people here speak fast and use words I’m not familiar with. I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!” 起初，谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯种全新的生活。”她说，“我得学会使用公共交通，学会要到我不知道英文名称的东西。迷路时，我得向路人求助但是这里的人讲话语速很快，而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复!” 1.adapt to 适应 2.get used to （doing）sth.习惯于某事 3.public transport公共交通 4.got lost 迷路 5.passers-by 路人 6.ask sb.for help 向某人求助 7. be familiar with sth. 熟悉... 8.repeat v. 重复 Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation, Xie Lei chose to live with a host family，who can help with her adaptation to the new culture.

Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read lots of information in order to form a wise opinion of her own. 谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时，导师跟她解释说，如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明，不过他主要还是想了解她本人的观点!谢蕾困惑不解，因为她觉得自己懂得没有别人多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献，形成自己睿智的观点。 1.challenge n. 挑战 2.academic requirements 学业要求 3.essay n. 文章,论文 4.tutor n. 导师 5.acknowledge v.承认， 认可 6.cite v.引用 7.thought n. 想法 8.confused adj. 困惑的 9.less than 少于 10. advise sb. to do sth. 建议某人做某事 11. in order to 为了 Xie Lei also found many courses included students’ participation in class as part of the final result, as well as give presentations . Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, and raise question. At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks. 此外，谢蕾发现很多课程的最终成绩都包含学生的课堂参与。学生需要形成观点、提供例子、运用概念、提出问题并且还要进行展示。刚开始的时候，谢蕾不知道该说些什么。但令她惊喜的是，仅仅几周时间，她就能在课堂上大胆发言了 1.include v. 包含，包括 2.as well as 也, 还 3.generate v.形成，产生 4.raise v.提出, 提升 5.speak up 大声说，明确表态 “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success, which boosted my confidence,” she said. “I’ll use these skills back home for presentations.
