Be careful about making friends when studying abroad.

Not long ago, Lin Jun, who was studying in Canada, was killed and shocked the whole world. Shocked, the study abroad industry can't help but reflect on whether the safety precautions and careful friends-making work of international students are in place. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed some international students and experts to make suggestions for students' overseas safety.

Not addicted to social networking sites

In response to this incident, Tang Wen, who is studying at Deansa Community College in the United States, believes that even if students study abroad, it is best not to rely on social networking sites, because many people with ulterior motives just "fish" on social networking sites.

When you meet an unfamiliar person for the first time, you should know how to observe the words and deeds, conversation and temper of the other person. Don't casually disclose personal information to strangers or unfamiliar friends, including telephone number, address, number of guests in the room, etc.

Before going out, it is best to leave a message to your roommate, trusted friend or nearest family member (immigrants or relatives studying or working in the same country), explaining where you are going and when you will come back, and telling him to call the police if you lose contact for 24 hours.

Don't spend the night easily

Tang Wen also reminded that overseas students must have one or two close and trustworthy friends, let them know where you usually go, keep in touch, and tell them how to contact their family in time if anything happens.

International students should be careful when making friends, and remember not to leave unfamiliar friends for the night. In the process of making friends, if you find something wrong with the other person, such as taking drugs and being violent, you should pay attention, and it is best not to associate with him again. Remember, there is no race or gender difference between good people and bad people. Sometimes, "fellow villagers" are not necessarily "good people".

Enrich one's social experience

Zhang Yun, an expert studying abroad in Kai Tak Education, is a British returnee. He believes that this incident is an example, which cannot explain how serious the social security problem in Canada is, but it is necessary for students to be vigilant and cautious when living abroad.

Zhang Yun believes that it is necessary to have reliable friends and circles when studying abroad. To do this, we must improve our foreign language ability, learn more about the mainstream social trends outside the Chinese community, and enhance our life experience abroad. Only in this way can we keep an open mind and avoid danger in the social process.

Zhang Yun said that studying abroad is the best opportunity to improve experience and social skills. International students can consciously make use of various student associations on campus, get to know influential people from all walks of life in the local society, actively participate in local social and cultural activities through volunteer service or voluntary activities, make friends and enhance their experience. In foreign countries, a few local people take advantage of some foreign students' unfamiliarity, ignorance of local conditions, poor foreign language and timidity to commit fraud or even extreme crimes, but such incidents generally do not happen to China foreign students who are good at foreign languages and experienced.
