First, life lessons.
Most of the goods sold in China can be found in Melbourne supermarkets, so don't worry too much. If you want to save money, you can bring more expensive items in Melbourne, such as cosmetics, electronic products and commonly used drugs.
Second, accommodation.
Renting a house in Melbourne is no better than in China. Many landlords in Melbourne have clear rules that smoking is not allowed and pets are not allowed. And you can't change houses. Be sure to clean the house when you check out, otherwise it will be deducted from your deposit. But don't worry about the landlord deliberately not refunding the deposit. When renting a house in Melbourne, international students have a formal contract. Before signing the contract, they will read every clause clearly and live a normal life according to the terms of the contract.
Third, safety.
Safety is the most concerned and key issue for parents. Students must pay attention. As we said above, another advantage of renting a house near the school is safety, because the school is basically a place where international students often live and live, so it will be much safer.
Also, prepare a coin purse when you go out to avoid showing off your money in front of others and being targeted by the bad guys. Try to avoid being alone after dark, save a local 24-hour taxi number and invite a person to take a taxi home at night. Avoid drunks and African blacks on the road and tell you not to promise and ignore any provocation. If there is a crime, please call the police immediately!
Fourth, etiquette
This is the first thing you have to learn when you come to Melbourne. Don't be impatient. A little courtesy will get you more compliments. Don't be accompanied when you need to speak alone. Be present ten minutes before the appointment/class, and don't rummage through other people's belongings. Talk about cheers and apologies, and make up after being helped or disturbed by others. Speak your thoughts in a low voice, and the ridiculed thoughts will come true. Don't speak loudly in public, but you must insist on speaking loudly. Even if you are not confident in your spoken English, don't stop talking in the middle, which will be misunderstood as that you don't want to talk to them. Please reply in time after receiving the email. At present, try to avoid speaking his mother tongue in front of crooked nuts. It's best to clean up after a fast food like McDonald's. Don't insult other people's beliefs. You'd better say sorry before sneezing. Please mute your mobile phone before class and ask others to supplement it.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) knowledge
Please show your high school learning attitude (not energy) to study. As we all know, foreign schools combine leniency with severity. If you are perfunctory with a coping attitude, you can only watch others cry. Every paper or exam result will be related to the degree you got when you graduated. There are many companies that require first honors or first-class or second-class degrees when recruiting, so you can't take any exams lightly. Also, don't share your papers with your classmates before handing them in, but know how to refuse.
Sixth, socializing.
To make friends in England, you need to be more open. If you are outgoing and proactive, it is not a problem to make friends on campus. Courageously say hello to people you often meet. If you don't say hello, they usually don't take the initiative to talk to you. Stop speaking spoken English. Melbourne people divide people into those who can speak English and those who can't speak English at all. Respect each other's customs and don't make wild comments. Melbourne people like to laugh at themselves. Bring gifts when visiting guests and food when attending family gatherings. * * * There is nothing left when you eat. Putting the knife and fork on the same side means that you are full. You can go to the bar in the afternoon to buy beer for an old man, who is usually willing to chat with you.
part-time jobs/work
Some students say that they don't want to do part-time jobs for the purpose of making money, but they want to do volunteer work to expand their social circle, do something meaningful and practice English at the same time. Then students can find volunteers related to their major.
