        Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting? Certainly, it is a new experience, which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom.  You will experience culture shock. Evidently, at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur.

        The first stage is called "the honeymoon". In this stage, you feel excitement about living in a different place, and everything seems to be marvelous.

        Eventually, however, the second stage of culture shock appears. This is the "hostility stage".  You become tired of many things about the new culture. Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore. Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful, and everything makes you feel distressed and tired.

        Then you come to the third stage called "recovery". You start feeling more positive, and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand. The whole situation starts to become more favorable.

        The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment".  The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you feel comfortable; you have adjusted to the new culture.

    A. Actually, culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country.

    B. You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture.

    C. You like everything  and everybody seems to be so nice to you.

    D. You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages.

    E. In spite of these advantages, however, there are also some challenges you will encounter.

    F. However, when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it.

    G. You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was.
