I went on an exchange program to Australia for a semester and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. During my time in the exchange program, I had to face some challenges. At first, it was stressful to communicate with the locals as my English was not good enough. However, I tried to be positive and open-minded, and I gradually improved my English skills. The cultural differences were also a challenge, but I found it fascinating to learn new customs and traditions. I lived with a host family who treated me like one of their own and showed me around the city. I had the chance to travel around Sydney on the weekends and holidays. To my surprise, I didn’t have to deal with homesickness. Some of my friends were scared of being away from their family for an extended period of time, so they felt lonely and left out throughout the program. I was able to keep in touch with my family and friends through social media, as well as making new friends from around the world. Overall, it was definitely challenging sometimes, but it was worth it in the end.
1.What was his attitude towards their challenges in the program?
A. Negative and upset
B.Indifferent
C. Positive and open-minded
D.Frustrated
Tôi đã tham gia một chương trình trao đổi sang Úc trong một học kỳ và đó là một trong những quyết định đúng đắn nhất mà tôi từng đưa ra. Trong thời gian tham gia chương trình trao đổi, tôi đã phải đối mặt với một số thử thách. Lúc đầu, việc giao tiếp với người dân địa phương rất căng thẳng vì tiếng Anh của tôi không đủ tốt. Tuy nhiên, tôi đã cố gắng sống tích cực và cởi mở và dần dần kỹ năng tiếng Anh của mình được cải thiện. Sự khác biệt về văn hóa cũng là một thách thức, nhưng tôi thấy thật thú vị khi tìm hiểu những phong tục và truyền thống mới. Tôi sống với một gia đình bản xứ, họ đối xử với tôi như con ruột của họ và đưa tôi đi tham quan thành phố. Tôi đã có cơ hội đi du lịch vòng quanh Sydney vào cuối tuần và ngày lễ. Thật ngạc nhiên, tôi không phải đối mặt với nỗi nhớ nhà. Một số người bạn của tôi sợ phải xa gia đình trong thời gian dài nên cảm thấy cô đơn và bị bỏ rơi trong suốt chương trình. Tôi có thể giữ liên lạc với gia đình và bạn bè thông qua mạng xã hội cũng như kết bạn mới từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Nhìn chung, đôi khi nó chắc chắn là một thử thách, nhưng cuối cùng nó cũng có giá trị.

B . thờ ơ
C. Tích cực và cởi mở
