QUYNH NHU CULTURE SHOCK What is culture shock? 'Culture shock' describes the impact of moving from a familiar culture to one which is unfamiliar. It is an experience described by people who have travelled abroad to work, live or study; it can be felt to certain extent even when abroad on holiday. It includes the shock of a new environment, meeting lots of new people and learning the ways of a dif ferent country. It also includes the shock of being separated from the important people in your life, maybe family, friends, colleagues, teachers: people you would normally talk to at times of uncertainty, people who give you support or guidance. When fami liar sights, sounds, smells or tastes are no longer there you can miss them very much. If you are tired and jet -lagged when you arrive, small things can be upsetting and out of all propor tion to their real significance. Climate Many students find that the British climate affects them a lot. You may be used to a much w armer climate, or you may just find the greyness and damp ness, especially during the winter months, difficult to get used to. Food Y ou may find British food strange. It may taste different, or be cooked differently, or it may seem tasteless or heavy compared with what you are used to. Language Constantly listening and speaking in a foreign language is tiring. Although you may have learned English very thoroughly, it is possible that th e regional accents you discover when you arrive in the UK make the language harder to understand than you thought. People may also speak quickly and you may feel too embarrassed to ask them to repeat what they have said. Dress If you come from a warm climate, you may find it uncomfortable to wear heavy winter clothing. Not all students will find the style of dress different, but for others people's dress may seem immodest, unattractive, comical or simply drab. 'Rules' of behaviour Every culture has unspoken rules which affect the way people treat each other. For example, the British generally have a reputation for punctually. In business and academic life keeping to time is important. You should always be on time for lectures, classes and meetings with academic and administrative staff. Social life is a little more complicated. Arranging to meet and see a film at 8 pm means arriving at 8 pm. But if you are invited to visit someone's home at 8 pm you should probably -aim to arrive at about 8.10, but not later than 8.20. When going to a student party an invitation for 8 pm probably means anytime from 9.30 pm onwards! 61.According to the author, culture shock ________ . a. does happen to people who live in or visit another country b. just happens to people who have traveled abroad to live, work or study c. is a major cause of homesick d. is entirely abnormal and usually avoidable 62.According to the passage, the weather in Britain is ____________ . a. warm and sunny b. wet and cloudy c. cold and humid d. dry and clear 63.Language is one of the biggest problems when you arrive in the UK because ________ . a. people may speak in many different regional accents 4
