Precautions for studying in Canada

Students who are going to study in Canada need to know about life in Canada in advance because they don't know much about it. Let's look at the details!

1.

time management

This is a very important ability. At first glance, it is not difficult to allocate time reasonably, but you will soon find that some things take much more time than you planned in advance. If you have several small papers to hand in at the end of the semester and you plan to leave them in the next few weeks, you will probably find that there is not enough time at that time unless you start early.

Take less computers to the classroom and write more.

Maybe you can type faster than you can write, but the most effective class notes are comprehensive and accurate, not many and fast, which requires you to record while thinking. It is easier to achieve this goal by writing on paper than by inputting it into a computer. In addition, the wireless Internet access function of the laptop is likely to distract your attention in class.

Choose your roommate carefully.

Universities in Canada often only provide dormitories for freshmen, and after the second year, they will rent a house off campus with their classmates. Remember, a good friend is not necessarily a good roommate. Differences in hygiene habits, schedule, personality and temper may all affect the relationship between roommates. Before looking for a house together, we must make clear the problems of rent sharing and health division of labor.

Maintain a harmonious relationship with teachers.

Ask more questions, discuss more in class and speak more; Stay in the church for a few more minutes after class and ask the professor questions you don't understand in class. In short, let the professor remember you and like you, and he (she) will give you important help when you are looking for a job or going to graduate school.

Modesty is not a virtue.

China people regard modesty as a virtue, but foreigners regard modesty as a synonym for hypocrisy. If a fluent English speaker apologizes for not speaking English well, and then speaks fluent English, foreigners will think that he lied and is a hypocritical person. Therefore, when dealing with foreign countries, we should boldly speak out our abilities. One is one, ten is ten. There is no need to be modest and polite, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Don't stick out your tongue in front of others

Foreigners think sticking out your tongue in front of others is an unsightly and impolite behavior, which gives people a vulgar and indecent feeling and can even be interpreted as looking down on others. Children can stick out their tongues when they make mistakes, which makes them look innocent and lovely. Adults must not do this.

Second, the safety instructions for studying in Canada

1. Whether you are attacked by robbers at home or in the street, the best choice is to escape as soon as possible, protect your own safety and fight back when necessary.

2. Don't ride with strangers.

You'd better take a flashlight when you go out in the dark. In case of an attack, you can use a flashlight to illuminate the attacker's eyes, so you can escape.

Don't call for help in a phone booth in a quiet street, lest you be stopped by gangsters in the phone booth.

5, a person lives in a room, a stranger visits, you have to find out the identity of the visitor through the cat's eye of the security door before making a decision.

6. Try not to go to bars and other places where people are complicated, especially don't spend the night in bars and other places.
