Culture shock is the feeling when people first come to an unusual place or adopt a new culture, which is totally different from where they lived before. People might feel unfamiliar with the weather. They will never expect the cold weather, and dark sky for days since this didn’t happened in their country. For that reason, many new citizens, especially students, could be affected by this climate. The next thing which can make students tired in a new place is food. The food, such as the taste, the recipe or their cooking skill may lead them to eat more fresh fruit, vegetable, and feed themselves the better food. Third, people might feel surprised, afraid, not know what to do in the first time they enter a new social situation in another country. The cause of those things is the life style. For example, people go so fast with a serious, or express their emotion in public such as kissing would make students feel very strange. Otherwise, thinking about relationships between males and females can be one of those reasons, especially if there is a vibrant same sex culture. Fourth, dressing has a small effect in some cases, but it is the easiest thing to be adopted since British clothes are a little unfashionabe. However, there are two different seasons every year, so they should prepare many clothes for both warm and cold climates. Finally, the most difficult thing for student when they go to abroad is language. They may want to use their mother language as in their life everyday before. Because of the pronunciation, students will get more difficulty tiredness with English. The varied accents can make people hard to understand, so the students sometimes feel very disappointed. In short, to avoid culture shock, students can research some factors such as climate, dress, and social life and learn some English, and cooking; therefore, they will have adapted better.
