B
When 14-year-old Lin Xia from Shanghai first arrived in London for a student exchange program, she was both excited and nervous. Her host family, the Thompsons, welcomed her warmly, but cultural misunderstandings soon appeared.
On her first morning, Mrs. Thompson served baked beans and toast for breakfast. Xia politely ate a few bites, though the salty beans couldn’t satisfy her taste buds. Later, she whispered to her roommate Emma, “Do British people eat beans every morning?” Emma burst out laughing. “No! Mum thought you might miss Chinese breakfasts. She read online that beans are popular in Shanghai!” Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet red bean desserts with British baked beans.
Another challenge turned up during a school project. Xia’s team needed to design a poster about climate solutions. While her British teammates freely debated (辩论) ideas, Xia hesitated to disagree with others, remembering her teachers’ advice in China: “Group harmony matters most.” Noticing her silence, the teacher Ms. Wilkins came up to her. “Your opinion is valuable, Xia. In Britain, respectful debates often lead to better solutions.” Taking a deep breath, Xia shared her idea of using algae (藻类) to take in carbon dioxide — a concept she’d learned from her scientist father. The team loved it and won the first prize.
By the trip’s end, Xia had grown bolder. She even taught the Thompsons to make dumplings, laughing as Mr. Thompson accidentally dropped one on the cat. “Cultural exchange isn’t about being perfect,” she wrote in her diary. “It’s about listening, adapting, and finding joy in the messy middle.”
