阅读下面短文，回答问题。

When we make a big move that requires us to get used to a new environment, we can go through a roller coaster of feelings. When the new environment is a different country, that roller coaster has a more specific name: culture shock.

Culture shock starts with the excitement of being in a new country. You’ll find everything in the new place amazing and you are more likely to recognize cultural similarities and be confused by the differences. But when the “honeymoon stage” phases out, reality sets in. You’ll get lost. You’ll get mad at the “disorganization” of things. You’ll become very busy with all the things you have to get used to. You will feel angry or annoyed. Next comes the gradual understanding stage. You have achieved a balance of feelings. Instead of feeling angry, you understand the differences. You’ll start to have a more positive outlook, interest in learning more about your new environment, and make more effort to fit in. Reaching a high level of comfort in your new place is the final stage of culture shock. The order of things makes sense, you can talk to strangers with ease, and you understand small cultural differences. Your everyday life is more natural. Sure, you still miss your friends and family, but your new friends and activities have become part of your daily life.

It is not easy to overcome culture shock. But there are some tips to help.

· Keep an open mind. Do not automatically recognize something that is different as “wrong” or negative. · Get out of your comfort zone and make friends. Get to know your classmates by attending as many social events as you can. This helps with getting used to a new environment, especially in the beginning.

· When you come across things you do not like, write them down and then ask yourself: can I change them? If not, then you can find a way of living with them.

Do not let the culture shock lock you in a state of loneliness, boredom, frustration and negative feelings. Instead, choose to accept change, laugh at your mistakes, and make new friends. You will find yourself learning and enjoying your new life.
