1. Become a member of the family. Australian parents will cultivate their children's self-control ability from an early age. Their children will help the family with some simple housework from an early age, such as placing tableware, cleaning, etc. If they want to better integrate into the Australian family, international students

It is necessary to help families do some housework within their capabilities, including tidying up their own rooms, and learning to work and live independently will also be helpful for future social development.

2. Learn to be polite and respect others. I don’t need to pay attention to being polite. It is also a basic principle to say goodbye in the morning, after school, and when going out. I firmly believe that no one will reject someone who greets you with a reserved smile.

On the premise of respecting others, it will also alleviate embarrassment. In Australia, knowing some personal issues can also cause embarrassment, such as age, income, etc. This is very impolite behavior. In addition, many people in Australia have ethnic and religious beliefs, and international students must learn

respect.

3. Familiarize yourself with the environment as soon as possible. Each host family can provide international students with an independent room and basic furniture, including beds, tables, chairs, benches, etc. The host family will also prepare three meals a day for the children. When international students first arrive at the host family,

You should understand the building structure as soon as possible, the public areas that you can use, and the personal areas of the owner of the house that you cannot enter.

4. Pay attention to the bathroom usage time. Water resources are very scarce all over the world, and the same is true in Australia. Local students in Australia have been saving water resources since childhood and advocated "3-minute showers". In addition, there are some domestic hot water systems in Australia. If the previous

If too much boiling water is used, the people behind may not have hot water to use. Therefore, when international students move in, they must carefully understand the owner's usage time of the bathroom. In this regard, Chinese international students also need to adapt.

5. Regarding the visit of relatives and friends. If you have relatives and friends visiting Australia, you cannot directly invite them to the homestay without asking the host and friends in advance. This is also for safety reasons. It is generally not recommended to invite visitors without permission.

Or stay overnight.

6. Internet traffic should be moderate. Not every family in Australia has a WIFI data network with unlimited traffic. In particular, the owners of some families are older people. They usually do not need the Internet. In many cases, in order to be able to

International students especially have access to the Internet, but many families have limited traffic. Students must understand it carefully after arriving at the host family to prevent excessive traffic and high expenses. This is generally borne by the students themselves.

.

7. Differences in food culture. Australia is a multicultural European country made up of immigrants from several different countries. This has resulted in different types of food culture. As we all know, Chinese people have a "Chinese stomach"

There are many kinds of Chinese specialties, but in Australia, the diet is very simple. The most typical breakfast in Australia generally includes fruit juice, oatmeal, milk, toast, applesauce, tea or freshly ground coffee. Lunch is usually a sandwich and fruit.

Dinner is usually a cooked staple food. Depending on the host family, these immigrants may come from the United States, North America, Europe, or Asia, so the diet will be quite different. Therefore, when applying for a homestay,

Generally, one question should be about dietary requirements. If Chinese students are not used to eating in Western restaurants, they can also mention that they live in a Chinese family. On the application form, you can clearly state the dietary structure and requirements, which will be beneficial to the hospital.

The school works diligently to find suitable host families for primary school students.

If you don't like some of the ingredients carefully prepared by your host family, don't feel embarrassed. You can communicate with them politely. Honest students will be loved by their host families.

8. The most important thing is how to communicate and communicate as the locals do when you go to the country. Try to understand as much as possible about their way of life and don’t shut yourself into the house.

When you arrive at a host family, they will usually explain the family's rules and habits to you. If there is anything you don't understand, be sure to ask.

Through constant communication, you can learn the local people's lifestyle, way of doing things, communication methods, and customs.

9. The Necessity of Integrating into the Family When it comes to integrating, finding a sense of trust, and a friendly and safe family atmosphere, it also requires mutual efforts to cooperate with each other to reach an ultimate state. During this process, there will be misunderstandings and differences, and we must learn to resolve them.

Many situations are caused by poor communication. Spending more time getting to know your home will help improve your English and ability to get along with others.
