PART B_2

Culture Shock

Culture shock is a feeling that a person experiences when facing something that is totally different from what he or she is used to. Students who study abroad are likely to get culture shock. Almost all of them go through the same experiences.

In the first few weeks, they are amazed by the new place. They believe the culture there is much better. But after a few months, this is when things get challenging. They have been used to their new habits, so they find troubles such as using a different language and getting used to dealing with the people around them. At this time, most of them start to miss their own culture. When about 6 months have passed, they finally start to get comfortable in their new place. It is said that it takes a year to fully get used to a new culture. By this time, they think of the foreign culture as their own culture.

What is even more interesting is that most students who study abroad experience culture shock when they return to their own country because they have been used to the foreign culture. This proves that even the common things could cause culture shock a few years later.
