Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of worries. This feeling is often called “culture shock(冲击)”. It is important to understand it and learn what to do with it if you want to
adapt to your new home’s culture successfully.
Generally speaking，there are four stages(阶段) that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually called the “excitement” stage. When you are in a new environment，you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything may seem exciting and everyone may seem friendly.
But it won’t be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the second stage. The excitement you felt at first turns into worries. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn，friends are difficult to make，and even simple things like shopping have become a difficult problem. It is at this “stress” stage that you may feel worried and homesick：This is the stage which is called “culture shock”.
However，culture shock doesn’t last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to get through it，you will move to the “recovery(恢复)” stage. At this stage，you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.
The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like some ways of the new culture better.
Culture shock is common. Everyone in a new situation will go through it. Continue to be brave! And getting through culture shock will be a piece of cake.
