and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as
being more open and hospitable. Ask someone form St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will
politely give you directions. A New Yorker might eye your at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you
a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some
different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.

What is culture shock?
“Culture shock” describes the impact of moving from a farmilar culture to one which is unfamiliar .It is an experience described
by people who have travelled abroad to work,live or study;it can be felt to certain extent even when abroad on holiday.It includes
the shock of a new environment,meeting lots of new people and learning the ways of a different country.It also includes the
shock of being separated from the important people in your life,maybe family,friends,collea-
Gues,teachers:people you would normally talk to at times of uncertainty,people who give support or guidance.When familiar
sights,sounds,smells or tastes are no longer there you can miss them very much.If you are tired and jet-lagged when you
arrive,small things can be upsetting and out of all propotion to their real significance.
Climate:Many students find that the British climate affects them a lot.You may be used to a much warmer climate,or you may
just find the greyness and dampness,especially during the winter months,difficult to get used to.
Food:You may find British food strange.It may taste different,or be cooked differently,or it may seem tasteless or heavy
compared with what you are used to.
Language:Constantly listening and speaking in a foreign language is tiring.Although you may have learned English very
thoroughly,it is possible that the regional accents you discover when you arrive in the UK make the language harderto
understand than you thought.People may also speak quickly and you may feel too embarrassed to ask them to repeat what they
have said
Dress:If you come from a warm climate,you may find it uncomfortable to wear heavy winter clothing.Not all students will find
the style of dress different but for others people ‘s dress may seem immodest,unattractive,comical or simply drab.
“Rules”of behaviour: Every culture has unspoken rules which affect the way people treat each other.For example,the British
generally have a reputation for punctually.In business and academic life keeping to time is important.you should always be on
time for lectures,classes and meetings with academic and administrative staff.Social life is a little more complicated.Arraning to
meet and see a film at 8 p.m means arriving at 8 p.m.But if you are invited someone’s home at 8 p.m you should probably aim to
arrive at about 8.10,but not later than 8.20.When going to a student party an invitation for 8 p.m probably means any time from
9.30 p.m onwards!
