Chatting with a foreign friend, who is Estonian. I said that I like to watch American dramas, and I don't like to watch domestic dramas or anything like that. He said, I heard that there was a monthly rumor recently, isn't it quite popular.

I don't know how this thing knows. So I rammed the rampage, which basically meant that it was not good-looking, plus what the clothes were unreasonable, and what I said did not conform to the speaking habits of the time. He said, if that's the case, it means that the director doesn't care, I said, yes, but after all, it was more than 2,000 years ago, and the director may have been too lazy to check carefully.

He froze on the spot, thought for a long time and asked me: Do you still know how your ancestors dressed 2,000 years ago? I nodded, "Yes, we also memorize poems from more than 3,000 years ago."

The story of the red string bracelet (which is also seen in the Xi'an train station) about the so-called charity that asks you for your signature and then asks you for money. I've seen stories about old Italians who give flowers and then ask for money, but I've been lucky enough to get away with them.

I have friends who met thieves in Brussels, who were robbed by a group of blacks in the Chinese quarter of Paris, who lost their mobile phones and whose phone bills were inexplicably consumed 1,000 euros, and I also saw a little brother in Nantes, France, who was slapped on the tram platform for refusing to give money to a woman, causing his glasses to poke into the corners of his eyes and bleeding nonstop.

I've never been abroad, so I haven't encountered any embarrassing things. However, I have encountered many things, both at home and outside, and many of them have made me feel embarrassed. But for me, it's not like being ridiculed by the girl I liked when I was a child.,Although so much time has passed.,But every time I recall it, I still feel a little embarrassed.。

I remember when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, it was an unusually sensitive age. At the beginning of the love season, I fell in love with a girl who seemed to be perfect at the time, good at studying, and handsome The crush of almost all the boys in our class. But I don't have much communication with me, but every time I communicate, I will be happy for a long time.

I didn't pay much attention to personal hygiene at that time, and because I lived at my grandparents' house, I didn't pay much attention to my personal hygiene habits, so I usually changed my clothes every few times and showered once every few months.

In the blink of an eye, summer has arrived, the amount of sweat on the body has risen sharply, and the clothes have unfriendly "patterns" and exude an unfriendly smell. But I was happy during that time because my goddess finally sat next to me. She didn't have any repulsion towards me at first, but a bunch of open-mouthed stinky boys liked to point out my personal hygiene, and they weren't much the same.

But if I'm in front of her, I'm going to be very uncomfortable. But the most hateful thing is that her other tablemate, a girl I hated very much, always liked to tease me with some particularly unkind words, but the main thing was that whenever she mocked me, my goddess would occasionally laugh and sometimes say a few words in passing, which made me very embarrassed.

The sun is like a shuttle, and we have gone our separate ways for various reasons, and now the number of times we have met is even more handful, and the memories of the past have been lost, but those best and worst things are deeply imprinted in my heart. Although I have encountered many embarrassing things, being ridiculed in front of the girl I like is the most embarrassing for me, and I later found that it is from this time that I began to pay attention to personal living.

If Chinese go to live abroad, they will encounter many problems:

1.The first is the issue of language. Language communication is an indispensable means and demand for human life, and language barriers will encounter various problems in life, so first of all, language must be passed;

2.The language barrier is solved, that is, the problem of work and life, unless there is an extremely special talent, you can only do low-level work abroad, low income, tired, of course, local tyrants can not work;

3.The question of life philosophy. The ideological and cultural differences between China and the West are still relatively large, and there will be some conflicts in cultural concepts.

4.Problems of social integration. Many people who go abroad find it difficult to integrate into the society at that time even after many years, and lack a sense of belonging, and this feeling will always make you feel adrift and helpless;

5.You must have an understanding of local laws and regulations, community norms, medical and health care, and other daily life needs, otherwise it will cause a lot of inconvenience to yourself;

6.Security issues. In foreign countries, especially in developed Western countries, racial discrimination is still very serious, and there are many anti-China and actually Chinese phenomena in many countries.

After an awkward day at the airport, I had to think about the awkward things that happened this year on the plane. section).

1.I was playing in New York with my friends on Thanksgiving, and the driver was black when I took an Uber. While we were chatting, I accidentally said "that", and then he patted me and told me not to say it, and then I panicked and said, "That, that, that."

2.The door to the outside of the university cafeteria is always clean. One day the sun was shining and I wanted to eat out. I held the plate thinking the door was open, and then I walked up and hit my face and plate directly against the glass, and the food was stuck to it.

3.Go camping in the wilderness and stay in a tent with a friend. She asked me what kind of girls I liked, and I said it briefly. Then she asked me if I liked her like that, and I didn't even think about it and said, no.

4.Countless times people greet me and say hello back, and then I find out that they are not actually saying hello to me. Then I just walked straight over and pretended I wasn't greeting him.

5.A person wore his crotch while playing basketball, and a group of foreigners watching from the balcony screamed. As a result, I went to the layup unguarded, didn't score, and the screaming from above stopped abruptly.

6.Still playing basketball, a girl hit me in the back, I thought it was nothing, and then I was knocked off. Then she looked at me and said, "Do you often feel like you're not strong enough?" ”

7.When I went to play at the foreign senior's house, I saw the strange purple color of the wallpaper in his living room, and I blurted out "oh!". that's gay purple.

He said" we don't say gay purple here".

8.I borrowed a friend's bicycle and went to the bank to deposit money, but his helmet was missing. Helmets are required to ride in the United States, so I rode on the road in fear.

I saw a police car on the road, and I rode into the alley like an outlaw. If they had come to arrest me and found out that I had a lot of cash in my bag, I would have been cold.

9.I would sing the wrong lyrics in all the performances about singing.

10.Got the names of two classmates wrong and kept calling them by the wrong names. No wonder they ignored me when they said hello later.

When I was in Japan, I went to a restaurant without hot water, I had difficulty communicating with the language, I got lost...But it's basically not embarrassing to think about, it can only be said to be inconvenient. The most embarrassing thing is to see compatriots do things that disgrace the country.

I don't want to talk about the behaviors of tourists such as littering, not queuing, and making noise on the train, but I believe that these will improve as the quality of the people improves. What I don't understand even more is why some people who have lived here for many years still have a huge sense of rejection.

Although I am Chinese, I have only had the experience of going to other provinces once, let alone abroad.

I would love to travel abroad.

But this ** really discouraged me.

Language barriers, cultural differences.

Not to mention the embarrassing things abroad, what makes me embarrassed is that I have never stepped out of the gate of the motherland, you say that it is embarrassing hahaha

So far, I haven't been abroad.

Pre-language courses are always the same.

Usually, if you don't have a good English score when you are in China, but you want to apply for a university in the United States, you can also apply for dual enrollment, that is, you can first go to a language class in a college in the United States for language training, and after passing the exam, you can participate in college courses as normal as other students. However, there is an embarrassment that cannot be spoken. What is it?

Okay, when you were in China, you didn't get good grades in English, but you were excellent in other aspects, and you were admitted by luck. So, you take their language preparatory course. But your English is poor, even in such an English-speaking environment.

You listen to them speak English every day, and you speak English every day, but you just can't pass your English, what should I do? Don't think it's impossible. In fact, there are a large number of Chinese students, and there are not a few students who cannot pass the language barrier and stay in the United States.

Xiao Yuer knew several of them, and they took language preparatory classes there for three years or even longer, but there were still no qualified people, and there were many people. However, they are all children of rich families, and they are not afraid to spend that idea.
