What problems will immigrants encounter?

The most important thing for international students is safety. Only when you are safe and healthy can your study life be normalized, which is the most fundamental guarantee to ensure your academic success and realize the goal of going abroad for further study. The following mainly provides relevant safety precautions for your reference.

(1) Traffic safety:

(1) In New Zealand, vehicles drive on the left, so when crossing the road, you must look at the right first, then the left and then the right, so as to ensure safe crossing. Where there are crosswalks (or zebra crossings or pedestrian lights), please be sure to use crosswalks (or zebra crossings or pedestrian lights). In Australia and New Zealand, many people have died because they don't obey traffic rules.

(2) For those who need to drive with a driver's license, you must remind yourself that you must drive on the left after getting on the bus. The tragedy of casualties caused by driving on a retrograde road with a foreign driver's license is not uncommon in New Zealand. You can put a big arrow to the left on the dashboard in the car to ensure driving safety. I suggest that even if you have a driver's license in China, you should learn the local traffic rules as soon as possible and get a local driver's license according to relevant procedures.

(3) Don't drive without a license, drunk or speeding, and don't use a fake driver's license. These are all illegal acts, and once they are discovered, they will bear legal responsibility. Besides, the car is a tiger that eats people, and it will hurt people and destroy themselves. Don't challenge the law.

(4) If you drive a car legally, please observe the local traffic laws and pay attention to the road surface changes. Be especially careful when driving on gravel roads. You must slow down and lengthen the distance so that you can brake at any time in an emergency. Due to the change of road surface, students in our country failed to comply with the requirements of road management and deal with them properly in time, resulting in car accidents, crashes and deaths. Please cherish life.

(5) According to the law, all passengers in the car must wear seat belts. Therefore, whether you are a passenger or a driver, you should fasten your seat belt. Motorcyclists and cyclists must wear safety helmets.

(2) Pay attention to personal safety protection:

(1) Don't hitchhike or pick up strangers at will.

(2) Avoid walking in remote and dimly lit places.

(3) If you are afraid of certain situations, you should try to stay calm, so that the situation may get better.

(4) At any time, if you feel suspicious or afraid, please ask the police for help in time. You just need to dial11anywhere in New Zealand.

(5) If a stranger sells goods to you, please don't buy them casually, so as not to become the target of drug dealers. In case of any relevant situation, please contact the police as soon as possible and inform the school and the embassy or consulate of the relevant situation.

(6) Improve self-protection awareness and ability. When a stranger or a group of teenagers pass by you, you should be vigilant and prepare for protection to avoid being caught off guard by a sudden attack.

(7) don't go to the bar to dance freely? Massage parlors and all kinds of gambling? In New Zealand, incidents of being drugged and raped in bars occur from time to time, and some girls get pregnant and have abortions, which are physically and mentally damaging.

(8) Don't borrow money from each other. The tragedy caused by the contradiction between students because they don't pay back the money is worth pondering. Some people borrow money everywhere because of gambling, fail to pay their debts, and even extort money from freshmen or girls. If you are forced to borrow money or extort money, please contact the police for help and protection. In this regard, the Chinese and New Zealand governments are very concerned, and are constantly improving their systems and cooperation to give the greatest protection to new international students. If you really need to borrow money, you should also sign the document in the presence of witnesses.

(9) Don't tell others your account number and password casually, lest your account number be impersonated or used for criminal activities. If there is a problem, the individual can only bear the loss or even bear legal responsibility.

(10) Girls should learn to say "no". When other boys ask too much of you, I hope you can keep your dignity and don't let others live in your place easily. You'd better not live in other people's places at will.

(1 1) Domestic violence is illegal in New Zealand. For male and female students who live together, if one party is abused by the other party, they should call the police or ask for help in time. New Zealand has strong legal provisions to protect women and children. Violators will be punished by law.

(12) When dogs, especially fierce hunting dogs, appear, you should first show calmness, and at the same time be vigilant and be prepared for self-protection. China students should pay attention to safety.

(3) Property custody:

(1) Please don't carry with you or store huge amounts of cash in your residence. The money should be in the bank. Tuition can be paid by transfer. You can put the cash in your pocket if necessary.

(2) When traveling abroad, please don't leave valuables such as cameras, passports and wallets in cars or mobile homes.

(3) Please copy important documents, such as passports and credit cards, and take a copy of your passport with you when you go to school or go out to prevent the original documents from being lost or stolen.

(4) When traveling abroad, please don't let your eyes leave your luggage. Don't entrust others to look after your luggage at will.

(5) Do not accept any luggage or articles entrusted by others, especially when traveling internationally. Don't change luggage and articles with other people's money and wealth.

(6) Comply with the relevant regulations of New Zealand Customs and other departments on prohibited or controlled products, including weapons and illegal articles.

(4) Other safety suggestions:

If you want to go hiking in the jungle, please tell your friends where you want to go and when you will return. If students living in host families go out to play or visit classmates and friends, you should tell them in advance. If you want to go back in the future, you should also contact them in time to inform the situation.

(5) handle all kinds of relationships:

It is very important for students to go abroad, start a new life and study, and handle all kinds of relationships well. In this regard, according to the common problems among students, the following suggestions are put forward:

(a) handle the relationship with the host family? Usually, the conflicts between students and host families mainly focus on cultural differences. To deal with the relationship with host families, first of all, every student should learn to respect others and be able to participate in family work, instead of holding the concept that "I have to wait on me when I spend money". You should say "thank you" more for the service provided by the other party. When you want to eat fruit, you should first ask the parents of the host family for advice, just like their children. Don't just open the refrigerator to get food without saying hello. It's very uncultured and rude. Through the observation of daily life, we can better understand the local culture.

The problem that students still have in host families is that they don't have enough food. There are many reasons. First of all, the eating habits of China people are very different from those of New Zealanders. New Zealanders mainly rely on butter and cheese and eat more meals a day (breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner), while most students in China are not used to eating bread, butter and cheese all the time and only eat three meals a day. For those students who live in vegetarian families, it is not enough not to eat meat every day. In this case, you can communicate frankly with the host family, and at the same time, you can also take the initiative to help cook. On the one hand, you can let your host family know about your eating habits, on the other hand, you can teach them to cook some meals that suit your taste and effectively improve the living environment and conditions.

Some students think that I don't have enough to eat after paying the money, so I am very resistant. Some students even make small moves to vent their dissatisfaction by abusing pets or children of host families and destroying items. First of all, it is illegal to do so, which violates New Zealand's animal protection law and relevant laws on child protection. In addition, it is easy to intensify contradictions.

Bathing time and the use of heating are also a focus of contradiction between students and host families. Regarding the bathing time, it is mainly caused by the limited cost of water heater storage and gas. It takes too long for others to take a bath without hot water. If you live in a host family, I suggest you look at this problem from the perspective of considering everyone, so that you may better understand and develop a new living habit. With regard to the use of heating, because the local people have been accustomed to living in this climate for generations, they don't feel the need to use electric heating except to save money. Strengthening communication and explaining the situation may make the relationship between the two sides harmonious.

For those families with serious racial discrimination and sexual harassment, you should communicate with the school in time and ask for a new host family. If this problem has not been satisfactorily solved, you can complain to the International Education Complaints Office of New Zealand, or you can report it to the Education Department (Section) of the embassy (consulate), and the relevant complaints should be accompanied by written materials.

(2) handle the relationship with the school? In the western concept, the quality of academic performance often depends on the students themselves. Therefore, university study is mainly the students' own efforts. In this regard, students should have this idea, change the influence of passive teaching mode in the past, and cultivate themselves to adapt to western learning methods.

For language schools, because they are all run by companies, there are indeed some problems in profitability. It is difficult to have a clear standard to measure the quality of a language school, but students can evaluate the school from the aspects of teacher level, teacher stability, systematic course content and whether the school meets the requirements of the New Zealand government. If the school does have many problems, you can complain to the New Zealand International Education Complaints Office and the New Zealand Qualification Certification Agency.

(3) handle the relationship between classmates? In quite a few language schools, most students come from China, which makes students feel unbalanced, because such a teaching environment is no different from studying in China. In addition, the quality of teaching in some schools is really low, and students' confidence and enthusiasm for learning are frustrated. In addition, students from different places of origin have certain differences in culture, and everyone has differences in personality. These reasons often lead to contradictions among students, and even the phenomenon of cliques. It is very important for every student to deal with the relationship between classmates and create a harmonious living and learning environment. Don't deviate from the purpose and direction of your coming to New Zealand.

In view of the intimidation, extortion, deception and other acts in those gangs, please call the police as soon as possible and protect your own safety with the law.

(d) handle the relationship between men and women.

After overseas students go abroad, their life and cultural environment have undergone fundamental changes. Without the constraints of family and school, they are like herding sheep. They don't know how to spend a lot of time every day. Psychological and cultural loneliness has brought many students together and formed a cohabitation family. Because of psychological lag behind physiological age and lack of knowledge and consciousness of self-protection, pregnancy abortion occurs from time to time, causing adverse effects in society. In this regard, it is suggested that students can grasp themselves well, focus on their studies, make friends, establish normal and extensive friendship with everyone, and don't enter the relationship between two people too early.

Throughout the development of civilization in China and other countries in the world, you can easily find that the chaotic lifestyle is contrary to human civilization. I hope everyone will cherish their feelings and life, and don't leave lifelong regrets for themselves.

Refuse to gamble?

Some China students studying in New Zealand have got into the bad habit of gambling. Young China children often gamble in the big casinos in Auckland and Christchurch, which can be described as spending money like water. Some clubs and small casinos in Wellington and other places are also visited by China students. Some people borrow money everywhere after gambling, and even engage in illegal activities at the expense of extortion. In this regard, it has aroused social concern. Gambling not only ruined many people's future, but also brought tragedy to their families and others.

Parents work hard to send their children to study abroad, so that their children can receive better education and have a bright future in today's ever-changing development era. They either scrimp and save, move around, or take other measures to create conditions for their children to study abroad. The investment in you should be said to be the biggest investment in your parents' life, with great risks. What is peace of mind if you don't study hard but spend a lot of money in casinos?

I hope China students stay away from casinos, for you and your family. We sincerely recommend that you:

(1) You are advised not to patronize such places. Cherish parents' high hopes and hard work, and put managers on learning. You can organize useful activities after school.

If everyone around you is gambling, I suggest that you don't lend him money. If you are blackmailed, you can call the police in time and protect yourself with the law.

Every student in China should consciously study local laws, regulations and culture. In order to protect their rights and interests, they should first pay attention to observing laws, regulations and cultural norms, and only by using laws can they protect their legitimate rights and interests.
