For students to study in the UK, it is necessary to know the precautions for studying in the UK, which will help us reduce a lot of troubles and help us integrate into the British culture faster.
So go to the UK to study what are the matters needing attention?
Here follow the small make up to see what common sense!
Go to the UK to study abroad what to pay attention to share with you some of the UK study abroad you have to know 20 “common sense” : 1.
I’m sure you won’t jump the queue, but I’d like to remind you that the British really hate people who jump the queue. Don’t touch their bottom line easily.
If you really have something urgent, you can ask the people in front of you one by one. Be polite and ask if you can stand in front of them one by one.
2. Standing on the left side of the escalator Any of you who have travelled on the London Underground will know that Londoners stand very neatly on the right side of the escalator during morning and evening rush hours, leaving the left side for those in a hurry to pass.
If someone stands on the left, they will receive the attention of the British people, and many places in the country will also stand like this, if you have not had this habit before, remember when you go abroad.
3. Don’t brag on the Chinese dinner table, bragging seems to have become a kind of etiquette, but don’t brag in front of British people, it is easy to cause disgust.
British people pay attention to modest, they felt the grandiose Bragging very silly.
Special reminder, go out on the outside do not “show rich” European thieves really a lot, their personal safety, property safety is the first!
4. You can’t take pictures of cute kids in the UK like you can at home.
You have to get parental consent, otherwise you run into legal problems.
If you take a photo of your child without permission, British parents won’t assume it’s because you like the child.
5. Changeable weather The weather in Britain is like a child who always changes when nothing happens.
Sometimes I feel that only the cloud above my head is raining. After walking out of this cloud, the rain stopped. The sun rain can also be said to be common.
If you see someone else behind you, you will hold the door and wait for a while. Of course, polite British people will immediately thank you.
Holding someone’s door for a seemingly casual detail is one of the most highly cultured acts of British people.
7. Often saying “sorry” In the UK, British people often say the word “sorry”, in fact, what they really want to express is that it is inevitable to make some big and small mistakes in life that affect others, and a sincere apology may be able to resolve the embarrassment naturally.
For example, say sorry if you bump into someone, say sorry if you get in the way, say sorry if you sneeze, etc.
But over time, many people find themselves assimilated, and “sorry” has become one of the most common words in everyday life in the UK.
8. We are familiar with ‘Cheers’ meaning’ cheers’, but in Britain it has another meaning ‘thank you’. When I didn’t know what it meant, I was often upset why they used to say ‘cheers’ so often.
Later, when chatting with friends, I learned that it also means “thank you”, and it is used very frequently.
People who study abroad in the UK often hear “Bank Holiday” and the frequency is very high. Every once in a while, there will be this “Bank Holiday”, which is actually a legal public HOLIDAY in the UK, including our common Christmas and Easter are also BANK holidays.
Foreign legal holidays will not have overtime or on duty, so we had better avoid dealing with some urgent things in such holidays or weekends.
It’s not uncommon to see a sign on the street in the UK that says “Off licence” and we wonder, “No licence required?”
Later, I learned that off licence usually refers To a small shop where liquor is sold, where consumers can take away unopened liquor instead of drinking it. 11. “To Let” is a brand that can be seen everywhere in British streets, but the familiar “toilet” is similar to it.
A lot of babies who don’t pay attention to it will think why are there toilets everywhere?
Actually, “To Let” means to rent a house.
12. ketch up has always been a favourite with many people. When we first arrived in the UK, we used to say “tomato sauce”, but this is usually a tomato sauce for cooking, not a dip for chips or fried chicken.
It is actually from Hong Kong to learn the past name, direct transliteration of the Cantonese pronunciation of eggplant juice.
In China, we all know that CCTV refers to our Central Satellite TV, but don’t get too excited when you see such a sign abroad.
It’s a reminder that somewhere there’s a closed circuit television, or camera.
The full name of CCTV in Britain is “CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION”, which is referred to as CCTV for short.
14. No Window Screens before I went abroad, I had no idea that almost all Windows in British houses are not screened, and there are no mosquitoes.
But there are lots of bees in Britain, and lots of spiders, especially the big long-legged spiders.
When I first came here, I wanted to open a window for ventilation. As a result, I was immediately stopped by my roommate. Even though it was very hot in summer, no one opened a window.
Because who knows what flying insects are waiting to come in and make their nests!
15 bus wave to take the bus must wave, get off must ring the bell!
The bus signs in Britain are very small. You have to look for them carefully by the side of the road.
Sometimes when you go to a bus stop, you can only see the bus stop notin use, but you won’t be told where to take the bus.
However, when waiting for the bus, always remember to wave, otherwise, the driver may not stop.
Also, buses don’t announce stops, so be sure to ask in advance.
16.What?
Foreign students may not be able to understand British English when they are just abroad. Please use Pardon me or say that again if you need to repeat yourself.
“What” is very uncultured for British people.
17. Don’t Get too Close Physical social distancing is important!
In Asia, the social distance between people is actually very small, and it’s not unusual if someone is standing next to you.
The British, on the other hand, tend to maintain social distancing even in crowded places, perhaps at arm’s length.
18. The British are very private and it is best not to ask questions about salary/religion/age/sexual orientation/political status/marital status.
They’ll be offended unless you’ve already had a few chats (complaining about the weather and traffic doesn’t count).
19. The teacher will always let you pass the exam, but you must always listen to him, bring books every day, do your homework.
Won’T ALSO WANT TO CALCULATE A WRONG ANSWER, CORRECT EXAMINATION PAPER (THE EXAMINATION OF STATISTICAL CLASS CALCULATES CENT METHOD: YOU WANT TO CHANGE EXAMINATION PAPER SERIOUSLY ONLY.
You can add 50% of the points you missed to your original grade.
For example: I got 40 on the test. If I mark the paper well, I can get 40+60*50%=70 and pass the test.
20, the most important point: learn English well!
Studying abroad is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons and get to know yourself better.
Please cherish having such a good chance when you are a student.
Do what you have to do, then do what you want to do.
Go to work when you work, travel when you travel, practice when you practice English, practice when you practice English, but remember that you are a Full-time student.
