走出本国的圈子
留学中国已成为各国学生的向往。本人凭多年与留学生交往的经验，深深感到：来中国留学的学生，需要走出本国的圈子，在留学时期去融入中国人群、去参与中国的社会生活。这不仅有助于语言和课程学习，更重要是理解接受中国文化、懂得如何与中国人交往、如何与中国人做生意。
Decided to Choose This Country
Study to China has become the choice a lot of foreign students. According my experience i have get from communicate with foreign students : foreign students who come to China need a adapt to Chinese daily life, participate to Chinese group, and socialize with Chinese people. Not only learn about Chinese language or school lesson, the important think is must understand about Chinese culture, understand how to communicate with Chinese people, and how to business with Chinese people.
来中国前，就要学习中文
到中国羞于开口，不如在国内先学中文，费用也低。来到中国，当很多学生刻苦学习中文时，他已经与中国老师和同学交流自如，有的直接进入中国学生班学习专业，有的在各种场合请他翻译，他学的东西就比别人多的多。
4年或3年学制的中国大学，都有1年时间学习中文。在招生时，并不要求具有中文水平。但是，零起步的外国学生往往1年学习中文是不够的，造成第2年进入专业学习很多听不懂。因此，外国留学生学习专业时间比中国学生少了2年，没有中文基础就吃了大亏。
留学中国硕士、博士研究生有所不同。中国的大学录取时，就要求申请硕士或博士学习的学生，已经具备中文HSK 5级水平；如果是英文授课，要求英文雅思6级水平。很多学生不具备语言成绩，需要单独学习汉语。入学时的中文起点不同，学习效果就大不相同。
Learn Chinese Language Before Come to China
Better if you learn Chinese language in your country of origin, les fees of Chinese language also very cheap. When you has arrived in China, when the other students learn Chinese language, you can communicate with the teacher, or directly study your majors, sometimes become a translator can make have a lot of experience.
Study in China universites 3 or 4 years, usually in the first year must learn about Chinese language. When the registration there is no requirement can speak Chinese, however learn Chinese language for 1 year is not enough, especially in the second year will studied about the major will difficult to understand it.
However if for Magister or Phd in Chinese, they will ask you for HSK 5, if the course use English language, they will ask you for TOEFL 6. A lot of students can't speak Chinese and must learning it self. If how to learn Chinese language is different, the the result also not same.
心理准备比物质准备更重要
出国留学不仅要过语言关，还要在国内做好心理准备，为自己找准定位。有些家长有一种误区，以为给孩子很多的钱，什么都不缺就会过得很好，其实心理上的准备更重要，学什么专业？学习的阶段目标？今后的发展方向？有了思想准备，就不会随波逐流，自己主宰自己。留学生活，往往是三阶段。第一阶段是第1年，学习语言，适应中国生活。第二阶段是第2、3年学习专业知识（3年制学生只有1年），参与中国社会活动。第三阶段是第4年为毕业就业或升学做准备。自己的行为，在每个阶段一定不能一样。
Psychological Preparation is More Important than Finance Preparation
Studying to other country is not only about how to learn the language, also need prepare your psychological, choose personal purpose. Many parents think if it's enough if we give a lot of money surely all will be good. But psychological is more tha important, choosing what majors, purpose of study, or developments in the future. Should be considered, can't be arbitrarily. Become a foreign students, through definitely 3 steps. The first one is learn Chinese language, the second one is learn the major for 2 or 3 years, and follow Chinese culture activity, and the third one is graduation and preparation after it. Each steps should be adjusted with personal person.
走出本国人的圈子是最大挑战
到中国留学，完全陌生的环境，如何才能尽快适应、融入，其最大的挑战是如何走出本国人的圈子。我发现很多留学生，与本国留学生同进、同出、同睡，课外与本国留学生一起玩的很痛快，自己在中国走进了本国人的圈子。几年下来，一定没有大的进步。第一年如果直接跟中国人在一些学习生活，虽然沟通困难，从完全不懂——有点懂——很多懂，这就是学习。与其他国家同学的交往，实际上是双方价值观的碰撞，对方很可能有很多习惯和理念与自己不相符，有些学生一般会选择忍耐，而缺乏相互沟通和相互表达的态度。
Life in this world is Greatest Challenge
Life in this world is greatest challenge for foreign students, adjust to the new environment, how as soon as possible in order to adapt. I have found a lot of student which has successful adapt, study together, and playing together with Chinese student. If not like that, then there is no significant progress. If from the first year can communicate though difficult include learning. Communicate with other countries actually can exchange opinions, different perspective, there is also a more relented and reduced communicate.
三个阶段适应中国生活
留学生走出自己的圈子，同时也是自我成长的过程。所有留学生出国后在心态方面基本上都要经历探索期、迷茫期和平衡期三个阶段，第一个阶段很新鲜，很兴奋，到一个新的环境，发现很多东西都跟原来生活的环境不一样，特别是头半年就像一个小孩子在探索世界一样。但是之后就进入一个迷茫期，因为自己意识到不同的价值观、世界观体系的存在，与原有的体系发生了冲突，迷茫期是最痛苦的，而走不出自己圈子的留学生，就不太能接受中国的观念。在最后平衡期，已经找到了自己的位置，这时既能保有原来的传统价值观，又能比较好地接受中国新的价值体系，这是一个人的成长过程。
All of Three Steps Adjusted With Chinese Daily Life
Foreign students entering into their choice, directly is the steep for maturation self. All of foreign students basically through of phase of consideration, confused to combine 3 steps, the first phase is something new, very interesting, come to the new world, realized a lot of things are not the same. The second phase is began to feel the difference with Chinese culture, if you can't adjust, then the next will be more difficult and boring. And the last phase is have found a suitable place for him is probably the same as the perspective of Chinese culture or have found other life concept, all is the maturing process.
学习来自身边点点滴滴
对大学来说真正重要的并不是图书馆有多少书，网上有多少资料，而是校友，是周围的同学和老师，这些人都是良师益友。虽然有文化的隔阂，但人就是最大的资源，留学其实是一种人与人之间的交换过程，不同文化下的人交流的过程，留学收获关键不在于读过很多书，如果不交流只是自己埋头苦学，其实和国内学习没有什么区别。在有限的几年里，只要有机会参加的活动、接触的人，要尽量去做，有机会充实知识和眼界，最终目的不是为了拿一个很好的成绩。
Learning Arises from The Willingness Yourself
According a students, study is not only limited in the library, in the internet, through a friend, learn from teacher, or from so many friends. Typical of these people receive much more science.Although culture is the most important, but humans are the most important resource. Become a foreign students is learn how to communicate, communicate in different culture. If only learn in the class room, then there is no different with study in your origin country. In a very short time, when there is a chance joined in Chinese social activity, adding new knowledge, the ultimate goal is not to get good grades at school.
