How do new immigrants quickly integrate into the local society?

Many people in China think it is very difficult to integrate into the local "mainstream society" as immigrants. In fact, many people here have fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, what is the "mainstream society"? Many people see the scenes of social gatherings in American movies and think that it is the mainstream society to be able to integrate into such a society. But the question is whether the scenes in American movies are consistent with the actual situation in the West. Furthermore, can those westerners who are born and bred quickly enter such a so-called "mainstream society"? Furthermore, can a native of China enter the "mainstream society" like China in China? Therefore, rather than the illusory "mainstream society", it is better to say how to integrate into the local society, into the community, into the neighbors, into the people nearby, become friends, and start your own social circle. Speaking of this, we should think about our strengths and weaknesses as new immigrants. Let's talk about the advantages first. As immigrants, most of us have a good educational background and a good family education background. We dare to take root in a strange land, which shows that we have a positive attitude towards life. What about our disadvantages? Our English must be poor. As immigrants, our English is international English no matter how good it is. Frankly speaking, this problem is very difficult and cannot be solved. Many people think that their English is excellent at home, but in social occasions, they put themselves in the audience's perspective when they encounter totally unprepared things, jokes, slang or things related to cultural ideology, English problems and the usual silence of orientals. Another disadvantage is that our manners and manners are not exactly the same as those in the west, and all kinds of embarrassment in the process of contact are very interesting and inevitable. What we have to do is to face it frankly and learn their language and behavior habits as soon as possible. Some very simple words, thank you, please, cheers, try; Simply praise great, you look great today, actually what you learned in China. Don't be embarrassed to say it. Don't be habitually modest when being praised by others, thank them first and then find the place where others praise you. Even a beautiful lie is not too much. Meeting a smile from others, even a simple hey can leave a good impression on others. In fact, most local people with basic education are quite simple and kind. Cooking something delicious or inviting them to eat Chinese food at home can turn them into our friends. In return, they may invite us to their home for a barbecue party at the weekend. Of course, we can meet more people. . It's never wrong to be too polite and too friendly. Oh, I forgot to say that if you cook well, you will surely make many friends soon. . Alas, I can't help it. Many westerners are as simple as small animals. . This is also good, isn't it? After all, we are all straight men and women. In addition, it is undoubtedly helpful to join some local associations and become a part of the local society. You don't need any complicated clubs. The simplest thing that costs nothing and the members of the other community must be very friendly is the religious community, such as the traditional Christian community and Jehovah's Witnesses. In religious societies, you can meet the kindest local friends, which will help you the most and improve your English greatly. Because generally speaking, religious people are people with higher education and income in the local area. With them, they can really get to know the local area quickly and integrate into it. Of course, if someone feels sorry for themselves, conscience can also choose sports and interest-related clubs. But frankly, most people will change their beliefs after joining religious groups. After all, they are in contact with many kind people all day. Speaking of sports and interest-related clubs, don't think that such clubs don't exist without schools and local communities, especially sports-related clubs can help new immigrants with poor English find like-minded friends in the local area. Oh, I remember there will be markets in most places on weekends. These places can not only buy local specialties very cheaply, but also have the opportunity to meet all the people around them. Not a standard social occasion, but it's easy to get acquainted. It's easy to be friends when we meet again. In fact, westerners prefer to go to bars to find like-minded people. But this place is relatively complicated. Of course, what I want to say is that for the first generation of immigrants, the bar environment may not be the best social place. Because there are many terrible western teenagers there, who are not bound by the law, do whatever they want and have no good education. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't find friends there. In short, be careful. In addition, I want to tell you that if you see a five-color flag sign hanging on the door or door frame of a bar, and people look at you with strange eyes after you enter, then I congratulate you. You have just entered the legendary gay bar. Generally speaking, face the people around you positively and choose your English language more politely. Don't worry about other problems. To local people, you are a "foreigner" after all. They can forgive your unintentional mistakes, as long as you kindly tell others whether it is difficult to integrate into society quickly.
