Things only people who have worked overseas can understand
If you have ever worked or lived overseas, I'm pretty sure you can understand the following things!
We do not automatically become fluent (流利的) in another language. A lot of people believe that changing your geographic location can improve your language learning skills quickly. Language application takes time and has a number of factors that play into a person's level of fluency.
We feel extremely lonely at times. Yes, living abroad can be wonderful. Sometimes, we think that no one back at home understands our true feelings and life challenges, but a lot of other people travel long term and work abroad. Maybe they are not facing the same problems as you, but they know exactly how you feel.
We don't really like our birthdays. Usually, your special day ends with the last phone call you get from home and then you can look through all your greetings on social media. You may throw a small party with some of your new friends, but it's going to be nothing compared with the goodold feasts you used to have with your loved ones back at home.
Too often we simply can't tell you if we will be coming home for holidays this season. Sometimes, our working/living permits require us to stay in the country for at least a year. Adding up the flight costs and additional travel expenses, traveling home becomes quite a challenge for us.
We will change. You become more mature, independent and openminded. Usually, you return home as a better person than the one you left as.
A. The truth is: it isn't like that.
B. We may not plan to move back home.
C. We don't know when we'll come home next.
D. However, it can get extremely lonely on some days too.
E. Living abroad makes us value the little things a lot.
F. Living and working abroad shape your personality a lot.
G. After that, you just act as if it's another ordinary day in your life yet.
