long sentence means by following a few simple steps.1.Decide if the sentence is compound (look for and,but,or,etc.)or complex(look for who,when,where,etc.).2.Find the main clause if it is a complex sentence.3.Look for modifiers.Sentence 1:I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn’t know the English names for.Sentence 2:Although some foreign students live in

How can students prepare to handle these challenges before going abroad?3.What do you think of the significance of acting as a cultural messenger?Suggested answers:1.As well as studying in the UK,she acts as a cultural messenger sharing Chinese culture with people around her by giving presentation on traditional Chinese art,teaching people how to cook Chinese food,and involving herself in social activities.2.One big challenge that many students have is the language—they may think they are good at English,but they are not used to hearing English being spoken at a normal speed,they are not used to English being spoken with a strong accent,and they are not familiar with many English idioms.The best way to prepare is to try to immerse themselves in English before they go abroad.They should watch a variety of English-language films and TV programmes without using subtitles,listen to English songs,and use every opportunity to speak with native English speakers.Another challenge may be coming from terms with the differences in a culture that is different from their own.Locals,however,will generally understand that the student is new to the country,and will appreciate attempts to learn and understand more about their culture.That is why it is best to be kind,respectful,and enthusiastic to try new things when in a foreign country—locals will be more willing to help new students and will be patient.It can also be scary to try to fit into the new lifestyle,since it is so different from their own.Maybe students will face times when they don’t understand the proper way to do something,such as paying utility bills.In this case,there is always someone who is willing to help—either at the university campus or even in a local shop.3.First,it helps strengthen the spread of the traditional Chinese culture;second,it helps pass on the core values of Chinese socialism;third,it helps us draw on cultural achievements of other countries;last but not least,being a cultural messenger especially helps showcase China’s soft power to the rest of the world through interactions in various forms,thus to enhance China’s global image and its worldwide influence.StepⅣ Role-playRole-play an interview with Xie Lei.1.Work in pairs.One student acts as a reporter of the school newspaper and the other acts as Xie Lei.Use the information from the article and add details if necessary.2.Present your interview before the whole class.StepⅤ SummaryComplete the passage with the proper forms of the given words.Xie Lei is now living with a host family whose members always help 1.________(she),after boarding a plane for London to complete 2._________ business qualification.It was the first time that she 3.　　　　　(leave) her motherland.At the beginning,she 4.　　　　　(face) with difficulties of daily life such as how to use the phone,how to pay on the bus and so on.5.　　　　　 (study) there was quite different from 6.　　　　　 in China and her strict tutor recommended that she shouldn’t write down 7.　　　　　 other people had said without 8._______　　(acknowledge) their ideas and that she should carefully read lots of different texts containing different opinions.Though 9.　　　　　(occupy) with work,she thinks it’s important to have a balance between study and social life.Getting used to the new way of life and fulfill academic 10.____________(require),she deserves to fit in and succeed in the end. Suggested answers:1.her　2.a　3.had left　4.was faced　5.Studying　6.that　7.what　8.acknowledging　9.occupied　10.requirements
