Thinking Academic challenges Cultural loneliness Daily life adaptation Cross-cultural communication 参考句型： I think...is the most difficult because... She coped with it by... This shows that... Which challenge do you think is most difficult for Xie Lei? Why? Thinking Discussion 16 Group 1: "Academic challenges are the most difficult" I think the academic requirements were the toughest for Xie Lei because British universities emphasize critical thinking, which is different from Chinese education. For example, when she first wrote an essay, she was confused about balancing others’ ideas with her own. She solved this by reading extensively and consulting her tutor. This shows that proactive learning is key to overcoming academic barriers. Group 2: "Cultural loneliness poses the biggest challenge" Living far from family in a new culture must be extremely lonely. Xie Lei chose a host family, but even so, she missed home. Sharing Chinese food (like stir-fried tomatoes and eggs) helped her connect with the host family and ease homesickness. This teaches us that cultural exchange can turn loneliness into belonging. Suggested Answers: Group 3: "Daily life adaptation as the primary challenge" Adapting to public transport and language barriers in daily life was most challenging. Imagine not understanding bus routes or asking for groceries! Xie Lei coped by practicing asking for help repeatedly. Her progress—from nervous to independent—shows that patience with small steps leads to big changes. Group 4: "Cross-cultural communication as the hidden challenge" Beyond obvious challenges, Xie Lei had to navigate social norms, like speaking up in class. At first, she was hesitant, but participating in presentations boosted her confidence. This proves that stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for cultural integration. Suggested Answers: VS Thinking Debate: Is Studying Abroad Overrated? I strongly believe that studying abroad is / isn’t overrated because... As Xie Lei’s experience shows, studying abroad helps students... Research has shown that students who study abroad are more likely to...  While my opponent claims..., they fail to consider...  Compared to studying domestically, studying abroad can actually be seen as... The idea that... is based on the assumption that..., but in reality... In conclusion, studying abroad is /isn’t overrated because...  VS 05. Summary Summary 07.
