Foreign life safety common sense question bank

1. What common sense do you have about studying abroad?

Students who want to study abroad must be prepared for safety knowledge, which is a concern of every parent. America is a very free country. To study in the United States, you must know about American safety knowledge. Many people go abroad for consultation. Here, I will introduce you to the safety knowledge of studying in the United States to help you spend your study time happily and safely.

The first step is to report to the international student office after you arrive at the campus and complete the registration. At the same time, a notification list will be created. During your study abroad, you will get relevant safety warning notices to help you avoid dangerous environment in advance. Second, don't ignore the orientation training organized by the school. In this process, you will make a systematic introduction to the security situation around the school. You can also directly ask about the security situation in and around the campus.

Third, the night is a time when the crime rate is frequent, so students must avoid walking around the campus alone at night. Of course, when they have to go alone because of study delay, remember to use the campus escort phone and ask the campus police for special escort. This service is completely free. Remember to call if you need it! Of course, if you unfortunately encounter some unexpected situations, you should also put personal safety first. For example, many students have experienced it. Some people ask for money directly, but most of them are not robberies. About $20 is enough for them, so if you have such an unfortunate experience, don't give him cash directly, don't fight unnecessarily, and ensure safety is the most important thing. Of course, I remember the crime and tell the police afterwards.

2. What is the common sense of living in America?

1 Banquet Etiquette Americans like to hold all kinds of parties, including dinners, picnics, Bar-B-Q and home-cooked meals.

If you take home-cooked meals, you must bring food to show your sincerity in participating. If not, it will be rude. The dress for the banquet depends on the banquet form, at least neat and generous, but for formal occasions, if the venue is in a high-end restaurant, don't be too casual. It's impolite to wear jeans and sneakers, but it's too abrupt to wear a suit and tie in Bar-B-Q B-Q.

Don't wolf down when eating, but also avoid burping. Americans think this is very impolite. After the meeting, you should send a thank-you card or call the host to thank him for arranging such a pleasant banquet.

2. Accommodation safety. Living in big cities and schools with poor public security, we should always be vigilant and deal with them carefully. If it is not necessary, stay out as little as possible at night. If you have something to go out, you'd better go together. If you are on campus, you can make full use of the safety facilities provided by the school, such as school bus and escort. Usually, the school will give a special explanation and make a booklet during the freshman training, requiring students to read it in detail. If you can carry an emergency phone number or a self-defense whistle and tear gas with you, you can strengthen your self-defense.

But in fact, as long as you pay more attention and be more vigilant on weekdays, you will not make your life tense. Another point is that racial discrimination should not be caused by security guards. Black campus is dangerous, but it does not mean that all public security problems are caused by blacks.

In the United States, being labeled as "racial discrimination" is a very serious matter, so we must handle it carefully. 3. General Office Hours Most stores in the United States are open from Monday to Saturday at 9: 30 am or 10 to 5: 00 pm or around 6: 00 pm.

Some shops in the shopping center are open until 9 pm. Sunday will also be open from noon to 6 o'clock.

Generally, companies work from nine to five and have holidays on Saturday and Sunday. The business hours of banks are relatively short, mostly from 9 am to 3 pm from Monday to Friday. Some banks will extend their business hours until 6 pm on Friday and 9 am on Saturday to 12.

No matter the company number, shopping center or school, there is generally no lunch break. At school, classes are held as usual at noon.

This is more difficult for students who are used to taking a nap. 4. Tip: You must tip anyone who takes a taxi, eats in a restaurant, or the waiter or airport staff who carries his luggage.

Although tipping is an act of free evaluation, there is a deep-rooted habit. You'd better ask the customs to avoid making a fool of yourself. Generally speaking, when eating in a restaurant, the tip is about 10% to 15%.

Generally speaking, there is no need to tip when eating in the canteen, but if someone pours tea and asks politely about the demand, you can tip according to the number of people. You need to tip more at dinner than during the day.

Tipping is an evaluation of service quality. Some waiters are very enthusiastic and ask questions from time to time in order to earn more tips. No matter what the waiter thinks, you can tip according to your satisfaction with the restaurant and the waiter. No one will interfere if you give more or less.

But remember never to tip penny. When pennies are left on the table, even if you give a lot of tips, it is likely to be misunderstood by the waiter as dissatisfied with the service, which is a humiliating act. Therefore, unless the service is really poor, you must never put a penny in the tip, unless, of course, you pay with a credit card and add the tip to the meal.

5. Get used to using payment cards. 5. Get all kinds of information through newspapers. Make good use of community news and school newspaper. From this information, you can learn about the latest developments and activities of the community and schools, and sometimes there are auction advertisements in nearby shops or garages. Usually, these newspapers can be read for free in the supermarket. 6. On weekdays, discount coupons are sometimes sent to the mailbox from manufacturers, or discount coupons from clubs such as car rental and air tickets are used to attract members. If they are widely collected, sometimes considerable money can be saved.

7. Leisure and entertainment You can learn about the latest development through newspapers and magazines. For example, the Sunday editions of the Los Angeles Times, Village Voice and New Yorker magazine will all be accompanied by entertainment guides, including movies, concerts, Broadway plays, street fairs and restaurants.

Wait, it won't make you have nowhere to go on vacation.

3. Common sense of studying abroad safety. It is understood that it is not uncommon for international students to encounter security risks in overseas life.

It is not uncommon for international students to encounter security risks when living abroad, so international students must pay special attention.

When studying abroad, we should always pay attention to personal safety and reassure parents who are far away from home. Safety awareness should start from the dribs and drabs of life.

Let's take a look at the safety issues that need attention in life. One: Be good at seeking help locally. Different countries have different customs and religious beliefs, so international students need to do their homework before studying abroad to eliminate some misunderstandings and help them better integrate into the local area.

2. Filing experts at the embassy suggest that after arriving in the destination country, they should file a record at the Chinese embassy abroad so as to get timely protection in case of disasters like the tsunami in Libya and Japan. At present, many schools also require students to report to the local embassy and fill in the details of individuals and contacts at home and abroad.

Luo Kunrong, an exchange student at the University of Malta, said: "This work is very important and essential. If a person is not at home, anything can be notified to the school and home in time.

In case of war, natural disasters and other special circumstances, the embassy can also contact us in time and send us back to China. 3. Students who study abroad and are diligent in studying law, who choose to study abroad, should have an understanding of the local laws, regulations and relevant policies of the countries where they study, and learn to bravely use the law to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests when encountering problems.

International students' lives abroad encounter security risks from time to time. Liu Peiwen, a student at Concordia University in Canada, still remembers that when the lock of the house he rented was pried open, he was at a loss and had to call the police. The police told him that in this case, there is no need to be too alarmed and appropriate defensive measures can be taken in time. If he had hurt the thief, he wouldn't have broken the local laws.

"Foreign countries attach great importance to the protection of individual rights. There are differences between domestic laws and foreign laws, which need to be understood.

However, many foreign students in China have not cultivated a good sense of use at home, and they don't know how to use the law to protect themselves abroad. Before going abroad, he suggested that domestic students "must first understand foreign laws, although sometimes it will be very cumbersome, but at least they should understand some laws related to their own vital interests."

When I do things, I will also consult my elders who have been abroad for many years, such as the Chinese in Chinatown, who know the local laws better. If you want to know more about studying abroad, you can call 400-0 19-0038 for consultation, or you can directly click the online consultation button on the right side of the page to talk to the consultant directly.

4. What should international students pay attention to in all aspects of their life abroad?

Accommodation for international students: There are many special personnel to manage the school dormitory. If there is an accident, there is usually an emergency notification system or security personnel who can help them quickly, so you don't have to worry too much about living safety.

However, although living in the school dormitory is relatively safe, you should be careful with your belongings. Most university dormitories in Britain have four to twelve people, so it is more complicated for many people to associate with visitors. If you are assigned to a dormitory shared by many people, or you haven't fully met your roommate, you should take your key and lock the door whether you go to the toilet or answer the phone. In Lunda dormitory, some students left the door unlocked and went to the corridor to answer the phone. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of pounds disappeared from the room.

In addition, dormitories in Britain are not always divided into gender dormitories, so female students must also be alert to sexual harassment or abuse. If they have any concerns in this respect, they'd better report them to the school immediately. In addition to school dormitories, if you want to experience real British family life, or if you can't apply for a school dormitory for some reason and need to rent a house outside, then the choice of off-campus dormitory is a decision that needs to be cautious and can't be ignored.

In addition to understanding roommates, the safety and convenience near the house, as well as the relevant rights and norms of renting a house, are personal and practical topics. Generally speaking, the accommodation information office in the school may provide rental information near the campus. Students are advised to make more use of this service. In addition to obtaining first-hand information quickly, the landlords of these houses registered for rent in the school also keep close contact with the school, which provides an extra layer of protection for their rights and security.

In addition, students are advised to keep in touch with the international office of the school. If there are any disputes or related problems, they should also report them immediately. The school is the most direct support for students studying abroad. Don't lose too much because of a little negligence.

As far as the situation in Britain is concerned, the public security in rural areas is better than that in metropolis, and the public security in small and medium-sized towns will be better than that in metropolis. In a metropolis like London or Manchester, the poor security area is usually the parliament building near the industrial zone, where the residents are mainly working-class and immigrant minorities, or the area called innercity.

When looking for a place to live on your own, you should try to avoid the aforementioned areas with poor public security. As for those places in the city with poor public security, you should consult your senior sister, accommodation consulting office or international affairs office as soon as possible.

It is inevitable for international students to study abroad and travel abroad. During studying in the UK, in addition to schools, communities and neighboring cities, traveling inside or outside the UK is also a major event for studying abroad.

Just like living in China, whether living in a big city or a small town, it is very important to be familiar with and know your own environment. When you go out for a walk, you should walk in a bright place with a brisk and confident pace. Don't take out too much cash at ordinary times and put it in different places. If you are used to carrying a handbag, it is best not to put important documents such as cash and passport in your bag, and you should be vigilant when getting on and off the means of transportation. Whether boys or girls go out at night, they must be vigilant. It is best to walk together and try to avoid passing through dark places with few people, or crossing parks and forests alone.

You must also pay attention to the movements of pedestrians before and after walking in the city at night. If you find someone with ulterior motives, try to speed up your steps or walk around in crowded places. In Britain, the sunshine time is shortened in spring and summer, with an average of only about nine to ten hours. At this time, try to avoid going out at night and avoid unnecessary dangers.

5. What are the safety awareness of international students living abroad?

After arriving in the destination country, you should go to the foreign embassy in China for filing, so that you can get timely protection in case of disasters like the tsunami in Libya and Japan.

6. What are the safety manuals that you must know when studying abroad?

Avoid going out of the campus alone at night. All schools in America have their own security guards or policemen. It's safe inside the campus, but you need to be careful outside the campus.

International students should establish a sense of self-protection, read the admission rules of the school carefully when entering the school, carefully understand and abide by the contents involving personal safety, generally do not leave the campus, especially do not leave the campus alone, and avoid leaving the campus alone at night. If you really need to come out, you can report to the school, and the school security guard is responsible for safety.

In American colleges and universities, you can live in dormitories provided by the school or rent a house outside by yourself. People who have just started studying abroad should try to live in dormitories on campus and do not advocate renting houses outside campus. Don't go to bars, game halls and other places in the city center, especially at night, you are more likely to encounter the growing danger of violence caused by drunkenness and drug abuse.

If you stay in game halls and Internet cafes, the real danger is that you will be regarded as a potential target of fraud or extortion by the bad guys. These people will keep an eye on you and find your address and mobile phone number.

They may threaten you to offend another gang member, and if you pay them, they will protect you. The longer you stay in this type of place, the more likely you are to become a victim of this type.

Women shouldn't walk alone at night. The more people you are with, the less likely you are to become a victim of opportunistic crimes. Young women should be more careful when walking alone at night.

Learn the knowledge of natural disasters in advance. Some students from New Zealand and Japan were attacked by earthquakes and natural disasters this year. They suffered personal injuries and even lost their lives. When studying in countries and regions with more natural disasters, you must learn and master the necessary knowledge of disaster avoidance in advance, and seriously face the relevant study and escape training arranged by the school.

Bring as little cash as possible. If your money is lost or stolen, it will never come back. Never carry a lot of cash with you, especially students in China, and don't leave money at home or with host families.

New students should deposit cash into the bank account immediately. Previously, students' schoolbags and wallets were stolen in schools, restaurants and trains.

If there is not much money in the wallet, it is not a big loss. Usually, it is enough to put 100 in your wallet.

Try not to bring ATMs or credit cards. By using your ATM or credit card, others can get a lot of money from you. If your wallet is stolen or threatened by a password, you need to report it to the bank immediately.

Try not to lend money to others and borrow less. Never tell anyone how much money you have in the bank. Be careful that the person you are talking to asks what your parents do and how much property they have.

If someone asks you for money, even if it's just a loan, you should report it to the staff of your school immediately.

7. What are the common sense of life when studying abroad?

First, try new things. University always gives you many opportunities to try new things.

If you haven't joined any clubs, it's not too late. Take part in a sports activity, join a debate club, or learn how to knit.

If what you want to do is not available in the present university, why not set up your own club? Ask some friends about the student union application. Everything is not as difficult as you think! Second, plan your budget. Just like managing time, you need to manage your own money. If you have made a spending plan for a whole year, always check whether you have adhered to every step.

A big week is generally more expensive and needs to be adjusted as soon as possible. Make sure you have enough money to buy food. If you feel that money is tight, look at all aspects and think about what needs to be cut.

Third, learn to cook. When you come back from the party at night, baked beans and microwave food may make you have a full meal, but nutritionally, it is definitely a disaster. Find a student cookbook from the local bookstore! You can also discuss with your roommates, make a weekly task list, take turns cooking, and teach each other new dishes.

4. Reject frequent home calls. In this respect, it doesn't mean to completely block the phone at home, but if you start to feel homesick, look for every possible opportunity to go home, which is the worst solution. Some people will be homesick in the first few weeks, and some people may fall into this mood in the middle of the semester.

In any case, the best solution is to devote yourself to student life. When you are busy enough, you don't have much leisure to think about how much you miss your home.

Don't neglect your homework. When you enjoy the happy time of college life, always remember that the purpose of your coming to college is to study. Keep in mind the deadline of your studies and the review tasks you need to do for the exam.

Use the first year to cultivate good habits and learn time management skills. You can make a weekly plan for yourself to ensure that you have enough time to read and take part in physical exercise.

6. Don't neglect your health. It's easy to be indifferent to your health when your parents are not around. Learning to cook nutritious food is a good way.

Be careful of catching a cold, because it is easy to catch on in the dormitory. In addition, pay attention to your weight figures. A good and healthy figure will help you spend every semester better.

Make your roommate happy. Since you will be with your roommates for more than a year, it is important to keep a proper distance from them. Whether you can become real close friends or not, it is a fact that you need to spend a year or more with your roommate.

So, let's make a "cohabitation code"! Through these, we can know what others want and related taboos. If you are dissatisfied with some behaviors of your roommates, don't be afraid to communicate with them.

Eight, observe the surrounding environment. There are all kinds of universities in the world, and different people may study in areas with different customs. Use your spare time to explore all this. If you plan to stay here for several years, you need to find a place where you feel most comfortable.

Find a favorite bar or a good place to study. Some local characteristic venues are also good choices.

If international students choose to study abroad, they should face it bravely and adapt to overseas life. Studying abroad is not only for a "foreign diploma", but this experience of studying abroad will surely become a rare and precious asset in your life.

8. Some common sense about living abroad can be summarized, thank you.

It seems that you are going to work or travel abroad. If you are abroad for a long time, I suggest you put English first. Always charge yourself. Especially in oral expression, you can also use simple body language if you encounter English that you can't express.

In some countries, people's quality is relatively high, while in others, people's quality is relatively low. When you go out, you must be cautious, cautious, and cautious. Pay attention to personal safety and property safety and put an end to bad hobbies.

Communicate with your family in time. When you meet something you don't understand abroad, ask more and learn more.

In fact, life abroad is no different from my own country, but the local customs are different. After a long time, you will get used to it. Hmm. How interesting
