Most people who move to a foreign country may ex

p

erience a period of
time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress.This feeling is often
called “ culture shock ".It is important to understand it and learn how to deal
with it if you want to adapt(适应)successfully to your new home's culture.
Generally s

p

eaking,there are four stages that you will ex

p

erience after
you move to a foreign country..The first stage is usually referred to as the
“ excitement " stage.When going to a new environment,you'll be interested in
the new culture ; everything wil 1 seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly.
But it won't be long before you move from the “ excitement " stage to the
second stage.The excitement you felt before changes to stress.It seems that
everything is difficult.The language is hard to learn,and friends are difficult to
make and even simple things like shopping have become a challenge.It is at this
“ stress ” stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick.This is the stage
which is referred to as “ culture shock ".
However,culture shock doesn't last for very long.If you are one of those
who manage to overcome it,you'll move to the “ recovery ” stage.At this stage,
you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people
behave in your new environment.
The last stage is the “ home ” stage.This is the stage when you start to feel
at home in the new culture.You start to learn from your new home and to like
certain as

p

ects of the new culture better than those of your own culture.
Culture shock is normal.Everyone in a new situation will go through some
form of it.Continue to be brave ! And overcoming culture shock will be a piece
of cake.
