Going to study and live in the UK, in a completely unfamiliar new environment, whether you can make new friends faster will probably determine whether you can adapt to this new environment faster, so how can you get acquainted with the classmates around you faster?

?Let’s take a look at how senior students who have studied abroad teach new students to integrate into the life of studying in the UK more quickly.

I like British fish and chips, it is a very delicious food. The only thing I am not used to and dislike about British local food is that there is a lot of cheese and butter in their food, so I will ask them to put less cheese and butter.

butter.

I like the British culture very much. The people are very friendly, love to laugh, are very innocent, childish and simple, and I feel very comfortable getting along with them.

I chose to study in the UK because the profound cultural heritage of the UK attracted me. I remember that when I first arrived in the UK, I was deeply impressed by the gentlemanly demeanor of British men. When I was at the airport, there was a British man who helped me unpack my luggage.

I took my luggage from the rack and put it neatly on the luggage trolley for me. When I was waiting for my classmate to pick me up, I didn’t have any coins to make a phone call. A British guy gave me a one-pound coin. Now I still have it.

I’m thinking about how to repay him! I feel that when I first arrived in the UK, everything went very smoothly and there were many people who helped me! The first time I set foot on this land, I fell in love with this country.

, fell in love with the country’s architecture and friendly people.

?Li Aizhu, undergraduate student at Coventry University I grew up in New Zealand, so when I first chose to come to the UK to study as an undergraduate, I didn’t see the new environment as a challenge. I thought that Western countries were similar.

When I came here, I discovered that the streets in England are quite dirty, it rains a lot, and the food is not that delicious.

But I learned to remember to bring an umbrella when I go out, and I also learned to cook.

I love making curry because it's easy to make and tastes good.

I also buy frozen food or instant noodles when I’m busy. Although it’s not healthy, it has become a part of my life in London.

I think for freshmen, as long as they can find China Town in your city, eating will not be a big problem.

In addition, there is a reliable restaurant recommendation agency in the UK called Michelin Restaurants. New students can check online and the recommended restaurants are all quite good.

? Sally Zhu, undergraduate graduate from the London School of Economics and Political Science When I first came to the UK, I was actually quite used to the weather and food.

It rains a lot in the UK, so I always bring a raincoat when I go out. Firstly, the raincoat is relatively light, and secondly, it is easier to ride a bicycle with a raincoat.

However, I can clearly feel the language barrier. In addition, many of my local British classmates already know each other, so it is more difficult for me, a foreign child, to integrate into their circle.

The solution I took was to participate in more group sports activities. Over time, I became acquaintances with my classmates, and they didn't care much about my poor English.

The activities I participate in are tennis, football and table tennis.

Our school's football team also plays games with other schools every weekend, which broadens my social circle.

? Yan Su, undergraduate student of science and engineering at Imperial College The weather in the UK is actually somewhat similar to that in southern China, so I adapted quickly.

When I get up every morning, I use my mobile phone to check the humidity of the day. If it exceeds 80%, I will take an umbrella and go out.

In winter, a sweater is enough for me, plus a thick coat on top, which I can take off as soon as I enter the classroom because the school has central air conditioning.

The water in London is quite heavy. Not only does it taste bad if you drink it straight, but I also find that it can easily cause hair loss.

So I always use filtered water when making tea and cooking.

Filters can be bought from Robert Dyers for around ￡20.

Speaking of food, I’m quite ashamed. I’ve been abroad for so many years and I still haven’t learned how to cook delicious food. I usually cook some cabbage at most. But haven’t I been here after all these years? I’m pretty successful in making friends because SOAS has

Many foreign students want to learn Chinese, so I often interact with them, and my English level has improved rapidly.

? Shirley, a master's degree graduate from the School of Oriental and African Studies: I studied in an international class in China, and many of my classmates were foreign exchange students.

Associating with them gave me some understanding of foreign cultures, and I quickly adapted to the environment after coming to the UK.

I think the most important thing when going abroad is to be mentally prepared.

Although my English is not very good, I am willing to speak boldly and will not be afraid that others will think my words are not good.

But the food in the UK is really not that good. I liked to buy takeaways at first, but then I got used to terrible food.

I like to go to Chinatown and buy Laoganma chili sauce. It tastes like home when used with rice.

?Wang Zhao, a graduate of the School of Oriental and African Studies, actually, the weather in the UK is not as bad as I thought.

Although the winter in the first year was quite unaccustomed to me and I had to wrap myself up thickly every time before going out, but later I learned to stay healthy through exercise, and I no longer feel so cold in winter.

Making friends can be said to be the biggest obstacle for me after coming to the UK.
