Many international students, after going abroad, still stay with their native-speaking compatriots every day, just like moving to another place to continue their life in China.
The most wonderful thing is their explanation:
A, a little shy, I don't know how to make friends with foreigners.
B, disdain to make friends with foreigners
Those who choose B can basically conclude that their trip to study abroad is similar to that of tourism, and most slag groups are like this.
The person who chooses A will still be saved!
So if you want to integrate into foreign life and get rid of shyness, you should do this:
Social software is an essential hardware for making friends abroad. Remember to download Facebook in advance before boarding. There is even a saying among North American students: Without facebook, there would be no friends.
In addition to Facebook, there are whatsup, Instagram, snapchat, twitter and other software that can help you better integrate into foreign life.
If you want to make good friends, your mentality is very important.
treat sb equally
When going abroad, there is no need to worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries, and don't be pretentious. Making friends is based on equality. Without equality, making friends will lose sincerity and will not last long.
In the process of communicating with foreign friends, we will gradually learn more about foreign life and think of what we have heard before, which are rumors and which are facts. Try to look at these differences from a neutral standpoint and seek common ground while reserving differences in the process of getting along.
