“WELCOME, XIE LEI!” BUSINESS STUDENT BUILDING BRIDGES
Six months ______, 19-year-old Xie Lei said goodbye to her family and friends and __________(board) a plane for London. It was the first time that she __________(leave) China. “I was very excited but also quite nervous. I didn’t know __________ to expect,” Xie Lei recalled.
Xie Lei is studying for a business __________(qualify) at ____ 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 __________(globe) business and improve my English. My ambition is to set __________ a business in China after _________(graduate),” she explained.
At first, Xie Lei had to adapt ________ 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 __________ how to ask for things I didn’t know the English names for. When I got lost, I had to ask __________(passer-by) for help, but people here speak fast and use words I’m not familiar __________. I ask them___________ ( 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 __________(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 __________(learn) about China. Laura, the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future. We take turns __________(cook) each evening. They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs! Laura says she always feels __________(hunger) when she smells it, so I taught her __________ to cook it, too.”
Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements. The first time _______ she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge ________ other people had said if she cited their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused _______ she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her _________ ( read) lots of information in order to form a wise opinion of her own.
Xie Lei also found many courses included students’ participation __________ class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, __________ raise questions, as well as give presentations. At first, Xie Lei had no idea __________ she should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself __________(speak) up in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was __________ great success, which boosted my confidence,” she said. “I’ll use these skills back home for presentations. __________ 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. __________ seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. “__________(engage) in British culture has helped,” she said. “As well as studying hard, I’ve been involved ____ social activities. British people are fascinated by our culture __________ eager to learn more about it, so I’m keen to share my culture ______ them. While I’m learning about business, I’m also acting_____ a cultural messenger __________(build) a bridge between us.
We will follow Xie Lei’s progress in later editions, but for now we wish her all the best.
