Introduction of China students' life abroad:
1: Loneliness
Dealing with the emotional vacuum by eating, drinking and having fun
On normal days, I don't know what to do except study in class. University education is very independent, choose different courses and meet different students. I left in a hurry after class. We are strangers and seldom communicate with each other. Can some acquaintances, is that a few China students live together. In addition, it is basically a vacuum world. So, when we are bored, we eat and drink together and try our best to fill our stomachs with beer.
More international students, who have no close friends of the same nationality, and are surrounded by a strange language environment, find it difficult to break into other people's circles, and are prone to inferiority and marginalization. Over time, the loneliness that is hard to get rid of makes them very withdrawn.
As a result, some people spend a lot of time playing games, while others even gamble and take drugs. "There is also a common phenomenon, that is, cohabitation! Think of this as a way to get rid of loneliness. " Others, seeking excitement in silence, use high technology to commit crimes.
in a lonely environment, the care of relatives and friends is most needed. People who handle it well, monotonous life has become the best environment for learning.
2. Academic
Broad entrance and strict exit and high elimination make people collapse
In Canada, many schools have an elimination rate of more than 31%, and some subjects even reach as high as 41%. If they fail, they lose the chance to graduate. This has put a lot of pressure on many students who have traveled across the ocean to study abroad with the deep expectations of their relatives and friends. Many people can't bear this pressure, which leads to some tragedies.
Last year, Zhang Zhenyu, a Nanjing student, committed suicide by jumping off a building at Moscow University. With the pressure of school and family changes, he felt unable to bear the burden. So, he jumped from the 7-storey dormitory building and ended his young life.
Similarly, in Britain, Chen Xin also saw that two China students could not bear the pressure of studying and committed suicide by jumping off a building. Analyzing money cannot solve the problem of studying abroad.
Too many cruel lessons have to make people reflect on the necessity of studying abroad blindly! Especially in recent years, many "small international students" have been sent abroad in high schools, junior high schools and even primary schools in order to receive "high-quality" education, but they often backfire and their prospects are worrying. Before they go out, are they prepared, prepared for hardship, and prepared to accept pressure? Some parents just prepare money, which is not enough. We should also prepare more endurance for children to endure hardship and toss. It is obviously irresponsible to send it out blindly and give it away at once!
3: Language
There is no need to use
the language barrier when studying English at home, which also brings a lot of pressure to many foreign students.
There are different accents in different parts of Britain. The aunt who sells tickets has a strong local accent, which is difficult to understand for the first time. Most of what we learn in China is American pronunciation, but in ordinary life in Britain, we often find a variety of accents. Analysis of English differences in different countries
To truly become an excellent international student, you need to integrate into local culture and local life. This brings difficulties to foreign students who have only learned standard English. There are many excellent students who came to study abroad before, but after they came, they found that they were very free and had great psychological pressure.
4: Culture
Good students in China are considered worthless
In China, teachers generally emphasize authoritative conclusions; But in Britain, teachers emphasize the process of argument. British teachers pay attention to cultivating students' innovative consciousness.
Perhaps because of this cultural difference, many China students are not valued by British teachers. In the eyes of British teachers, students who do things according to the teacher's words are worthless and have no training value!
If international students can have systematic training before going abroad, tell them what they may encounter abroad and prepare them, then they will probably take fewer detours.
5: Discrimination
Being bullied by others will be dissuaded by the school
Some overseas students report that there are racists in some areas in Britain, which are very unfriendly to overseas students from China and Viet Nam. One year, as soon as the first semester started, 11 China students were injured. Overseas students who have had personal experience report that those people inadvertently talk to you in Chinese on the road. If you answer and confirm your nationality, you will bully you.
At these times, they dare not call the police. First, people are afraid of retaliation in a foreign land, and at the same time, they are worried that the school will let you drop out of school. Schools usually ignore these things, and they are afraid that you will be seriously injured or even killed by racists. In order not to take responsibility, they would rather let you drop out of school first.
Many foreign students who have experienced this kind of experience are afraid to go out alone at night, leaving eternal pain in their hearts.
6: Jobs
International students are not pleased to find jobs at both ends
The number of international students has increased, and the gold content of their degrees has declined, which makes most international students have to return to China for employment. The employment standards of domestic enterprises are also changing, and they are no longer superstitious about a foreign diploma. Domestic and foreign countries are treated equally. International students have lost their original competitive advantage.
In the face of realistic pressure, what international students need is a good attitude: look at it objectively before going out, face it calmly after going out, don't be eager for quick success and instant benefit, and don't suffer from loss. Society should also actively guide, remove the aura, reduce the pressure and return to its proper standard!
