Second, make a time management plan. American universities pay more attention to students' self-study ability, so American college students need to spend more time on reading and self-study besides spending time in class! But time management is not only about study and training, you also need to arrange your extracurricular activities, social practice activities, holiday travel and daily chores scientifically! The advice of Leqiao Culture and Education is that you need to plan ahead and arrange the order of each item scientifically.
Third, contact China Students and Scholars Association. The full name of CSSA is China Students and Scholars Association, which is our Students and Scholars Association! Friendship will help foreign students deal with many problems: information exchange platform, including renting houses, second-hand books, making friends and so on.
Fourth, communicate with people Overseas, especially in the United States and other China, it is very important to learn to grasp the consciousness and actively communicate with people. Consciously communicating with others can improve your ability to integrate into overseas life and solve problems. Effective communication skills will help foreign students solve difficulties and contradictions when they encounter difficulties or disputes.
To understand the differences between Chinese and American life cultures, apart from the change and adjustment of learning methods, the greater test for international students is how to integrate into the new environment and cultural conflicts. If you want to integrate into the United States as soon as possible, you'd better know more about the local traditional culture and some daily taboos when interacting with local people. Although Americans are relatively open and free, they also have their own life and cultural taboos, such as private information and beliefs.
Sixth, cultivate critical thinking. What is right and what is not? For adults, you need to distinguish yourself! Different from the traditional new Chinese memory culture education, the ability to learn to think is the American teaching system. Critical thinking is a skill that American college students must master, which is not only of great help to their studies, but also affects their future work.
