These all help students familiarize themselves with the area straightforwardly,withoutanytrouble. The school provides an open space serving as a platform for the visually-challenged students to play, perform, or celebrate festivals and the students are easy to orient themselves according to sound, smell, sight and touch. “The idea behind the design was to make the school more accessible to the students,” Sonecha says, “They come from remote villages and towns in Gujarat,andIameagertohelpthem.” During the construction, Sonecha used contrasting colors so that students could easily distinguishbetweentheelements.Bluewasusedforallclassroomdoors,yellowfortheentrance gate, black for switch buttons, and yellow an green for the furniture.All these colors contrasted with the white walls of theschool,helping thestudents locate differentelements. Differentareas are of different height and width, which makes the sounds and noises change according to the echo (回音) produced in these spaces. Furthermore, he cooperated with fellow landscape architect Lokendra Balasaria to plant more than 1,000 plants of 37 species. These sweet plants have been grown not only to lead the children to move the school through smell but also to attractbutterfliesandbirds,andprovideshade. “The structure of the building is designed similarly to any other school building, only with a few clever elements. My intention was to avoid making it look distinct from other schools,” Sonecha explains, “I hope that there are no different schools for such students.

Scientists have studied culture shock for over a century.Rather than focusing on the purely negative aspects, psychologists describe it as a process of stress and adjustment. The first stage is the honeymoon phase, when we are filled with excitement about being in another country. Eventually, as daily challenges arise, we enter a state of crisis and anxiety with unfriendly feelingsaboutthehostculture.Thelongerweareimmersedintheculture,weadjustandrecover from those negative feelings. Finally, after some time we adjust even more and fully accept the newculture. One of the factors that determine how we react to cultural stress is our personality. Not surprisingly, extraverts (外向者) tend to have an easier time adjusting to new cultures. That is because being in a new country means meeting many new people and spending a lot of time around them, and extraverts thrive in these situations. But introverts simply prefer to be alone afterspendingtimeingroups,andonlyhavelimitedenergytospendinsocialsettings. Cultural intelligence, or CQ, also plays its part. Cultural intelligence is defined as the capabilityofanindividualtofunctioneffectivelyinsituationscharacterizedbyculturaldiversity. It hasto do with our interestin interacting with peoplefrom culturally diverse backgrounds,and our ability to adapt to new cultural context. It is argued that the higher our CQ, the lesser the effectofcultureshockonourabilitytocopeinnewsituations. Many effective coping strategies are interpersonal. A recent study found that relating to others with empathy is significantly associated with lower stress levels abroad.The more we are able to take on other people’s points of view, the more positive our interpersonal relationships andthusouradaptationtothestressofcultureshock. 28.Whatisthefunctionofthefirstparagraph?

But there I was, pronouncingeachcharacterjustasanative speakerwould.“Myfavoritefoodissushi,”Isaid— wozuixihuandeshiwushishousi.

No machine canreplace such a profoundly human experience. DeborahCohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures. Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言 辞)remainsamystery.

Disappointment entered our car like a dark cloud, putting an end to the chat. Arriving home, I switched on my laptop, went through pictures taken in Uganda (乌干达). A few months before, I’d been there, working with local schools.As an officer for Teams4u, a charity that provides resources to people in need, I’d seen what life was like there. I went there twice a year and loved it. “You must bring your family next time,” one of the local teachers had said to me. My girls hadnever beenouttoAfrica with me before,butwere always wide-eyed as Itoldmyadventures. Life in Uganda was very different from what we were used to. Children there had little to eatforlunch.Therewerenoproperdesks andchairsintheclassroom.I’dbeenouttheretohelp, buttherewasstillalotofworktodoinsomeremoteschools. During dinner, Nia asked me, “Mum, can we dine out?” “Homemade food is boring,” Robyncomplained.Ididn’tsayaword. That night in bed, I thought about the invitation from the teacher in Uganda. By the following morning, I’d made my decision. “Girls, we’re going to Uganda! For Two weeks!” I announced. Nia and Robyn were surprised at first but soon became excited!
