3.I grew up in London,a place where there are so many people of different nationalities and races.So when I left London to start university,it came as a surprise that the student community was so divided.Chinese students,especially,stood apart.They cooked Chinese food every day and only socialized with their Chinese friends.
At first I wondered"Why are Chinese students so eager to come to the UK,yet not willing to make friends with the local students and learn about their culture?"
But then I studied in China for a year,and I realized that all the foreign students there behaved in exactly the same way.They ate in foreign restaurants and only socialized with students from their own countries.It was a shock.Why were so many foreigners going to China if they didn't want to meet local people and learn about their culture?
Our natural instinct (本能) when we move abroad into an unfamiliar environment is to seek out the things we know and distance ourselves from those we don't.So we look for friends of the same nationality or race,and eat the food from our home country.
I was not different from other foreign students in the beginning,but I tried to change.So every day I played basketball with my Chinese peers after class,I had meals with them in the campus canteen and I joined a band with other Asian students.
Those are probably the three best ways to make friends when there is a risk of language or cultural barriers getting in the way:play together,embrace (欣然接受) each other's food and share your passions.
