It was the fi rst tim e she had ever l eft her motherl and. “After getti ng m y visa I was very excited because I had dream ed of thi s day for so l ong. But I was also very nervous as I di dn’t know what to expect, ” Xi e Lei tol d m e when I saw her wai ti ng i n a queue at the student cafeteri a between l ectures. Xi e Lei, who i s 21 years ol d, has e to our uni versi ty to study for a business quali fi cati on.

Xi e Lei hi ghl y rem ends it. “The preparati on course i s m ost benefi ci al ,” she sai d. “Studyi ng here i s qui te di fferent from studying i n Chi na, so you need som e preparati on fi rst. ” “It’s not just study that’s di ffi cul t. You have to get used to a whol e new way of l i fe, whi ch can take up al l your concentrati on in the begi nning,” expl ai ned Xi e Lei , who had l i ved al l her li fe i n the sam e ci ty i n China. She tol d me that she had had to l earn al m ost everythi ng agai n. “Som eti m es I fel t l i ke a chil d,” she sai d. “I had to l earn how to use the phone, how to pay bus fare, and how to ask a shopkeeper for thi ngs I di dn’t know the Engli sh for.

Li vi ng wi th host fam il y, i n whi ch there m any be other col l ege students, gi ves her the chance to l earn m ore about the new culture. “When I hear an i di om that I don’t understand, I can ask m y host fami l y for help, ” expl ains Xi e Lei . “Al so, when I m iss m y fam il y, i t’s a great fort to have a substi tute fami l y to be wi th. ” Xi e Lei’s preparati on course i s hel pi ng her to get used to the academi c requi rem ents of a Western uni versi ty. “I rem em ber the first essay I di d for m y tutor,” She told m e. “I found an arti cl e on the Inter that seem ed to have exactl y the i nform ation I needed. So I m ade a sum m ary of the arti cl e, revi sed my draft and handed the essay i n. I thought I woul d get a real y good m ark but I got an E. I was num b wi th shock!
