All of a sudden, you’re sharing everything with new people whom you’ve never seen before. It will take time to learn how to behave in these new surroundings. To get the most out of your time with your temporary family, you can check out the following tips. Be open and communicate If you are allergic to peanuts, don’t like seafood, or have a fear of dogs of all sizes, tell your host family about it right away. Generally speaking, they will have learned the most important facts about you from your paperwork, but some things cannot be stressed enough—especially when it comes to health issues. Attend the family meals Food is a great social lubricant (润滑剂) across cultures. Try to be at home for meals and help set the table or do the dishes. Eating together is a fantastic way to get to know people and sitting around a dinner table is a fun way to pick up new words and practise your conversation skills. If you know how to cook, feel free to prepare something from your home country and take the cultural exchange to the next level. Participate in activities Of course you should get involved in social activities with your new friends from school, but why not spend some quality time with your host family as well? When you’re in a foreign country, going to the supermarket or watching your host sister’s soccer practice can be super exciting. Participating in everyday activities is a great bonding experience that lets you practise your language skills and helps you get to know a new culture. 【主题词句背诵】 1.check out 查看;调查;退房;结账离开 2.be allergic to 对……过敏 3.when it comes to… 当提到……;当谈到…… 4.pick up (不费力地)获得,学会;拿起,拾起,捡起;好转,改善 5.participate in 参加 6.get involved in 参与……;卷入…… 7.Generally speaking, they will have learned the most important facts about you from your paperwork, but some things cannot be stressed enough—especially when it comes to health issues. 一般来说,他们会从你的资料中了解到关于你的最重要的事实,但有些事情再怎么强调也不为过——特别是涉及健康问题时。 8.Participating in everyday activities is a great bonding experience that lets you practise your language skills and helps you get to know a new culture. 参加日常活动是一种很好的联络感情的经历,可以锻炼你的语言技能,帮助你了解一种新的文化。 Period One　Reading and Thinking—Comprehension Task 1: Text Structure Analysing Parts Main ideas Part Ⅰ (Paras.1-2) Xie Lei’s 1.　　　　　　　and the 2. 　　　　　　　for studying abroad  Part Ⅱ (Paras.3-7) Xie Lei overcame different 3. 　　　　　　　in many ways and 4. 　　　　to studying abroad  Part Ⅲ (Para.8) Best 5. 　　　　　　　to Xie Lei  Task 2: Careful Reading (　)1.What is the text mainly about?
