How do freshmen integrate into American social circles?

First of all, I don’t think it’s possible to fully integrate, after all, with different cultural backgrounds, it’s difficult for you to have a relationship with othersOne VoiceThe resonance. However, this does not mean that we do not work hard and do not approach.

The common problem of many Chinese students is that they only like to hang out with Chinese people, because it is easy to communicate and Americans don't play with us. actually not. Many students may have tried to say a few words to the Americans.Hello/How are youAfter that, they do not know how to continue. , the Americans had no choice but to deal with it with a smile. In the final analysis, it is a communication barrier caused by cultural differences.


My personal suggestion is:


1) try to be assigned to a study group with Americans to complete a group project together; in the process of cooperation, there will be many Contact and communication, work hard for the same subject. During this process, the intensity of English conversation increased, mutual understanding and revolutionary friendship also strengthened, and it was easy to become friends.



2) try to apply for some part-time jobs offered by the school and learn from work to communicate with Americans. Maybe for some classmates, the tough and American group is awkward. I feel the same way too. But didn't our parents send us abroad just because they wanted us to gain more? What's the point of going abroad to practice Chinese? In some things, you have to force yourself to understand how powerful you are.



This is the second display screen I work at the front desk of the library, and I will never forget Zhang Zhilin, my cool magician. 💕💕💕


In addition to part-time work, when I first started working in the school library, I was very nervous and panicked, afraid that I would not understand and that others would not understand what I said. I lived in this fear for three months. Later, I plucked up the courage to keep challenging myself, and asked again if I didn’t understand. Americans speak very fast, and many times I had never heard the titles of the books they reported, so I had to ask them to write them down. All roads lead to Rome; After a year, I have been able to deal with American students at the front desk of the library with ease. I have made one or two American friends myself, and I have learned a lot of American-style attitudes towards people and things while getting along with them.


These are the bosses I know at work! 👇

3) attend more school-organizednetworking events, you can meet a lot of new friends there, and you can also make private appointments to chat, party, go out to play, drink coffee, enhance mutual understanding, and gradually become friends in life.



Finally, I sincerely wish all freshmen to quickly integrate into American culture, speak English well, and make many friends!

新生如何融入美国社交圈?

首先,要想完全融入,我认为是不可能的,毕竟文化背景不同,你就很难和人家有同声同气的共鸣。但是,这并不代表我们不去努力,不去靠近。

很多中国留学生的通病是只喜欢与中国人聚在一起,理由是沟通方便,而且美国人也不和咱们玩。其实不然。很多同学也许就尝试了跟美国人说了几句Hello/How are you之后就不知道怎么继续下去了,美国人也只好笑笑应付一下就没有下文了。归根到底还是文化差异导致的沟通障碍。


我个人的建议是:


1)尝试与美国人人分到一个学习小组,共同完成一次小组项目;合作过程中,会有很多的联系和沟通,为了同一个课题努力。在这个过程中,英语对话强度增强,彼此的了解和革命友谊也加强,很容易就成为了朋友。



2)尽量申请到学校提供的一些打工职位,从工作中学习与美国人的交流。也许对于一些同学来说,强硬和美国人一组很别扭。我也有相同的感受。但是爸妈送我们出国不就是想我们收获更多吗?如果出国就为了练习中文,那有什么意思呢?有些事情,必须要逼自己一把,你才能明白自己到底有多厉害。

再说打工,我刚开始在学校图书馆上班的时候,十分紧张和惊慌,怕自己听不懂,也怕自己说的别人听不懂。就在这恐惧中生存了三个月。后来,我是鼓起勇气不断挑战自己,听不懂的话就再问一遍,美国人说话都很快,很多时候报的书名我压根没听过,只好让他们写下来。条条大路通罗马,一条路行不通就多想办法与人沟通。一年下来,我已经能在图书馆前台和美国学生游刃有余地打交道。我自己也交下了一两个美国朋友,在与他们的相处中,我学会了很多美式待人处事的态度。


这些都是我在上班时候认识的上司们!👇

3)多参加学校组织的networking event,可以在那里认识很多新朋友,私下也可以约出来聊天、聚会、出去玩、喝咖啡,增强对互相的了解,慢慢地成为生活中的朋友。



最后,衷心祝愿所有的新生都能够快速融入美国文化,英文说得溜溜滴,朋友交的多多的!
