In the school

1. The teacher does sit on the desk in class.

Teachers in Australia are like friends. They have no teacher's airs when they talk and communicate. They often sit at desks and communicate with students. Sometimes I even kneel next to you to answer students' questions.

You must make an appointment to see the teacher.

Teachers in Australian universities usually hold several jobs, teach in different schools and have their own research projects, so if you have any questions, you can't find anyone in the office. You must make an appointment to meet by email first.

You can call the teacher by his first name.

Teachers, tutors and professors in both high schools and universities can call them by their first names, such as David and James, without adding special titles such as teachers and lectures. If you don't know the teacher's name, just call him sir.

4. No copying homework

Most schools in Australia have plagiarism inquiry systems. Each student's homework is uploaded to the campus intranet, and the percentage of the same information in the homework can be queried online immediately. This software will draw which sentence is plagiarized, down to which chapter of the book is plagiarized. If students don't mark the extracted content, it will be regarded as plagiarism. When plagiarism reaches a certain proportion, it will be rated as zero homework by the teacher, and will be expelled from school in serious cases.

off campus

1. Yes, please. No, thank you

Western countries pay attention to etiquette. Yes, please and no, thank you. You must remember to combine them. For example, if the teacher asks you if you need to explain this question to you, we must say yes, but we must remember to add please. If you have understood the problem and don't need help, then naturally say no and thank you to express your gratitude.

drive

Australia drives on the left. You'd better have a lesson on road regulations before you go on the road and get familiar with the driving rules. Pay special attention to courtesy when driving in Australia. When you meet pedestrians, you must stop slowly. Trains/trams/buses have priority, so they should always be polite. When leaving the station, you should give way, and when entering the station, you should slow down and follow, and you must not overtake.

Don't make any noise when eating in the restaurant? Waiter?

Unlike China World Hotel, the waiters in Australian hotels are all international students from China. They work hard every day to earn their living expenses. Don't shout when you need to order? Waiter? Raise your hand to show that they will all come. They are all children of China, so we should respect each other and help each other.

host family

1. Be polite when eating with the parents of the host family.

Don't eat your mouth before you speak. If you have to answer in a hurry, cover your hands first and say you're sorry before you answer. Can't chew with your mouth? Biabia? Sound. Don't bump the plate loudly when using the knife and fork. Use the tableware in each plate to put food on your plate. Don't lean your elbow on the table. If you don't pay attention to the above behavior, it will be considered impolite.

Say hello before doing sth.

Boarding students often encounter the situation that the food in the host family is not delicious and hungry. Then say hello to the landlord before eating and say that you are hungry and want to eat. The landlord will be happy to let you eat. But if you eat it directly, the landlord will be angry and tell you directly that you are not doing it right.
