Learn to be self-reliant when studying abroad.

In recent years, with the continuous development of society, the trend of globalization has been obviously enhanced, the domestic environment is getting worse and worse, and the degree of smog is getting heavier and heavier. More and more China people choose to immigrate to Canada. However, many students and parents are obviously not very clear about the living customs of Canada and even the overall situation of the country. Do students who want to study abroad know about Canada? Do you know their living habits? Can you cook? How about independence? The answer is almost always no. Next, I give some suggestions to students and parents, hoping that students and parents can make full preparations before going abroad. 1, study abroad and live on your own.

Studying abroad is really a good opportunity to exercise students' self-reliance. It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but difficult to go out for half a day? No one is around to be caring and attentive, and daily life and meals are cooked by themselves. In the process of dealing with these trivial matters, it is freedom and pain to get rid of the shackles of parents, but more should be growth; On the other hand, international students have great freedom of movement, and no one asks what to study, what to eat, when to travel there, when to sleep and so on.

Therefore, international students must know self-discipline when they live and study abroad. They must not play with their friends every day, stay up late, skip classes and sleep during the day. In the long run, it will not only affect your health, but also hinder your studies, which is not good for yourself and your family.

Step 2 learn to cook

Besides reading and doing homework, students spend the most time cooking, three meals a day, and it takes at least two hours to wash, cut, cook and eat. In order to save time, some people simply eat simple foods such as instant noodles and bread, and some people patronize the university cafeteria every meal. The former lacks nutrition, and the latter is too expensive, which is not a good choice. It's best to eat with roommates. If you don't have a roommate, you can eat with friends who live nearby. Everyone is responsible for cooking for one or two days a week. This has many advantages:

save

gain time

When cooking, put down your books and homework and relax.

Take care of each other and enhance friendship.

On a cold winter night, someone prepares hot meals and hot dishes for you to eat at home after school. That warmth is beyond words.

Step 3 rent a house

The rented house will be equipped with refrigerator and cooking facilities. The refrigerator is big enough to store food for a week. There is no need to go to the supermarket to buy food every day. Canada's large supermarkets such as Saveway, supermarket, Sobey? S and so on. Offer different goods at reduced prices every week, and the price is very cheap. Chicken is usually the cheapest and can be bought in large quantities. When you get home, you can divide them into several small packets according to the amount of each meal and keep them in the refrigerator. Take out one or two packs at a time to thaw and cook, which saves time and is convenient.

There is no laundry equipment in the rented house, so residents should use the laundry room in the building (or patronize the laundromat nearby, and it costs 1 yuan to 1.5 yuan Canadian dollars to wash a bucket of clothes. In terms of clothes drying, only a few laundries let customers use dryers for free, and most of them are charged. Because the dryer uses heat to dry clothes, cotton clothes will? Shrinkage? So cotton-padded jacket will hang it at home to dry. There is heating at home in winter, and it dries after drying. Because of the heating, the indoor humidity is very low and dry. Many students wake up with sore throats, dry tongues and even nosebleeds. The solution is simple. Buy one? Humidifier? Or put a bowl of water in the heating outlet to keep the indoor humidity.

4. Driving test

In Canada, it is easier to get a driver's license, and most international students have a driver's license. At the same time, local used cars are cheap, and many students buy cars instead of walking. During the long vacation, many foreign students meet in go on road trip, which can not only relax, but also see other cities. There are expressways between cities, and the traffic is very convenient. But driving on the highway is much more dangerous than in the urban area, because the speed is high and the average speed is over 100 meters per hour. Once you crash, you will be killed or seriously injured. Therefore, there is still a lot of knowledge about speeding safely on the expressway. You should consult more experienced people, or go to a driving school to take related courses.

5, holiday travel

Besides visiting other cities, many people go there on purpose? Border shopping? (Border shopping), many famous fashion brands are located on the American border? Export factory commodity store? (Factory direct sales), wholesale and retail, very popular with female students. However, it is not easy for girls of marriageable age to obtain American tourist visas anywhere. Generally speaking, students applying for a tourist visa in the United States need to show a valid passport and a written certificate issued by the university to prove that you are a student of the university. When submitting the form, it is best to tell the official clearly that it is sightseeing and shopping. If he believes, he will give you a visa for three months to one year.
