听写 the 4 Stages of Culture shock

Living abroad can be an exhilarating that encourages world views-increases cultural curiosity and supports willingness to explore unfamiliar terrains. However, it also invite a sense of feeling a little lost in the world. Cultural shock generally moves through four different phases—honeymoon, frustration, adjustment and acceptance.

1.The Honeymoon stage

The first stage of cultural shock is often overwhelmingly positive during which travelers become infatuated with the language, people and food in their new surroundings.

2.The frustration stage

At this stage, the fatigue of not understanding gestures, signs, the language sets in and and miscommunications may be happening frequently.

3.The adjustment Stage

Frustrations are often subdued as travels begin to feel more familiar and comfortable with the cultures, people, food, and languages of new environments.

4.The accepting stage

During the acceptance stage, travelers develop the similarity and are able to draw together the resources they need to feel at ease.

Though it can be one of the hardest part of traveling, is just as integral to the experience as food, people and scenery. By recognizing for what it is and finding ways to cope, you can prevent culture shock from ruining an otherwise fantastic experience abroad.

总结：今天听写的也不是很好，因为貌似难的，简单的单词有些还是听不出来的，但是比起第一次听写，感觉自己还是有进步的，有进步就很好了，感觉就是这样啊，因为每天进步一点点，那么过段时间，就会有进步的，在这个追求速成的世界里，我们慢慢来的话，可能会比较快，因为基础打牢了，这样就很好啊。姚天成想到自己还在努力学习的时候，就感觉自己很棒哦，所以才会不断努力啊。
