① Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress. This feeling is often called “culture shock (文化冲击)”. It is important to understand it and learn how to deal with it if you want to adapt successfully to your new home's culture.
② There are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you'll be interested in the new culture; everything seems exciting and everyone seems friendly.
③ But it won't be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the “stress” stage. The excitement you felt before changes to stress. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, 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”.
④ However, culture shock doesn't last for very long. If you are one of those who solve it successfully, 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.
⑤ 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 adapt to your new home and like some aspects of the new culture better than those of your own.
⑥ 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.
