Dear Emma,
I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling homesick and lonely. Don’t worry. This is a normal part of culture shock.
When I first arrived in the UK, I felt nervous and confused, too. But my host family was really kind. They encouraged me to join school clubs, and I soon made friends. Here’s my advice.
First, talk to your host family at dinner. They’re usually happy to help. Second, join school clubs or sports, which is a great way to make friends. Third, try local food and ask your classmates to show you around. Most importantly, be patient with yourself. Culture shock is just a phase. It will pass!
I’m sure you’ll soon feel at home and enjoy every day in China!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
