At first, Xie Lei had to adapt to life in a different country. “You have to get used to a whole new life.” she said. I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn’t know the English names for. When I got lost, I had to ask passers-by for help, but people here speak fast and use words I’m not familiar with. I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!”
Understand long sentences
English structures are different from those in Chinese, but you can figure out what a long sentence means by following a few simple steps.
If the sentence is compound, you may find out some key words, such as and, but, or ,etc.
If the sentece is complex, you may find out some key words, such as who, what, which, that,when, where, why, how, etc.Then find out the main clause if it is a complex sentence.
Look for other modifiers.

When I miss home, I feel comforted to have a second family，Xie Lei said “When there’s something I don’t know or understand, I can ask them. They are also keen to learn about China. Laura, the daughter of my host family(同位语), wants to study in China in the future. We take turns to cook each evening. They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs!

What other challenges do you think students studying abroad might face？How can students prepare to handle these challenges before going abroad
One big challenge that many students have is the language barrier—they may think they are good at English, but they are not used to hearing English being spoken at a normal speed, they are not used to English being spoken with a heavy accent, and they are not familiar with many English idioms.
The best way to prepare is to try to expose themselves in English before they go abroad. They could watch a variety of English-language films and TV programmes without using subtitles, listen to English songs, and use every opportunity to speak with native English speakers.
