“WELCOME, XIE LEI!”  BUSINESS STUDENT BUILDING BRIDGES

Six months ago, 19-year-old Xie Lei said goodbye to her family and friends and 1.________(board) a plane for 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 4.________(qualify) at a university in China and has come to our university on a year-long exchange programme. “I chose the exchange programme because I wanted to learn about 5.________(globe) business and improve my English. My ambition is to set 6.________ a business in China after 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 8. _____ how to ask for things I didn’t know the English names for. When I got lost, I had to ask 9.______(passer-by) for help, but people here speak fast and use words I’m not familiar 10._______. 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, who can help with her 11._______(adapt) 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 12._____(learn) about China. Laura, the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future. We take turns 13.________(cook) each evening. They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs! Laura says she always feels 14.______(hunger) when she smells it, so I taught her 15.______ to cook it, too.”

Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements. The first time 16.______ she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge 17._________ other people had said if she cited their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused 18._________ 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.

Xie Lei also found many courses included students’ participation 19._______class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, 20.________ raise questions, as well as give presentations. At first, Xie Lei had no idea 21.________she should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself 22.________(speak) up in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was 23._______great success, which boosted my confidence,” she said. “I’ll use these skills back home for presentations. 24._______will 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. 25.________ seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. “26.________(engage) in British culture has helped,” she said. “As well as studying hard, I’ve been involved in social activities. British people are fascinated by our culture 27._______eager to learn more about it, so I’m keen to share my culture with them. While I’m learning about business, I’m also acting as a cultural messenger 28._______(build) a bridge between us.

We will follow Xie Lei’s progress in later editions, but for now we wish her all the best.
