①Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress. This feeling is often called "culture shock (文化冲击)". It is important to understand it and learn how to deal with it if you want to adapt successfully to your new home's culture.
②There are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the "excitement" stage. When arriving in a new environment, you'll be interested in the new culture; everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly.
③But it won't be long before you move from the "excitement" stage to the second stage. The excitement you felt before changes to stress. 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 challenge. It is at this "stress" stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is referred to as "culture shock".
④However, culture shock doesn't last for very long. If you are one of those who solve it successfully, you'll move to the "recovery" stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.
⑤The 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 something of the new culture better than those of your own culture.
⑥Culture shock is normal. Everyone in a new situation will go through some form of it. Continue to be brave! And overcoming culture shock will be a piece of cake.

In a recent small group activity in Mrs. Johnson's 9th-grade class, students came together to discuss how a growth mindset (思维模式) can greatly influence our life. Here are the opinions on developing a growth mindset shared by the students.
Steps | Opinions from Group Discussions |
Believe in Yourself | Start by believing yourself that you have the power to change your habits. Your habits are shaped by your beliefs and strengths. Use positive statements to welcome changes into your life and prepare your mind for a new way of thinking. |
Accept and Overcome Weaknesses | Whatever your weakness is, accept and explore different approaches (方法) to overcome it. Be kind to yourself and focus on finding solutions instead of being angry with yourself. If you have to get out of bed early in the morning, try setting the alarm earlier or preparing things in advance to make mornings easier. |
Welcome Challenges for Growth | Stepping out of your comfort zone (区)and taking on new challenges helps you improve your skills and broaden your knowledge and experiences. Whether it's learning a new sports skill or making progress in your studies, look for challenges that push you to grow. Appreciate the unexpected challenges along the way. |
Work with Your Learning Styles | Find out how you learn best, as it will help you learn more effectively. Some learners need to see things to understand them, while others do better with listening or talking. Take your time to learn and look for excellence by practicing and repeating. Accept applying what you learn, even if you make mistakes, as they help you become more skilled. |
Developing a growth mindset not only reduces worry but also brings happiness. By celebrating your achievements and enjoying the journey of growth and learning, you can create a satisfying and successful life.
