Studying in a foreign country can be exciting. It can be difficult too, especially if the culture is very different from your own. However, there are often surprises, even if the culture is very similar. When Megan, a British student, first arrived here in the United States she knew that Americans ate their food with a knife and fork. “But they don’t use the knife and fork like we do,” says Megan. “In Britain, we ate with the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. Whereas Americans often just use a fork in the right hand.” Megan is also surprised that Americans tip a lot more than the British do. “We never tip a waiter just for a cup of coffee, but Americans tip 15 percent. The accents can be so different, too! I’m slowly getting used to everything.” For students who come here from more different backgrounds, settling in can take longer. Kit-ken, a student who came from Taiwan only a few months ago, told us “When I first arrived everything was new and exciting. I really liked the differences between here and home. I was happy to be in a new country. Now, though, I miss my family and friends and feel a bit lonely. Sometimes I’m confused about what to do. There are still lots of things that I like, but now there are more things I dislike. I feel really homesick!” Question 30: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.
