  •  If you want to overcome culture shock, the first thing  you need to do is not to be nervous.

  •  My Indian colleague  keeps shaking his head when we discuss some technical topics thus I felt very confused and even a little annoyed.

  • I have not passed through all the stages of the culture shock, because I had  poor English skill. I felt scared to connect with local people, and I kept myself living in the Chinese community.

  • I never felt like emptiness and loneliness, as I did when I arrived in Canada. My only problem was the different language.

  •  My advice is to read more, get more contact with Canadian people, and give more time to  your family.

  • I was in a different place, so I had to rely on myself. I had to find a place to live, register my program, pay my tuition fee, and so on.  At that moment, the language barrier was the major problem.

  • I felt the culture shock from day one. The first stage is called the honeymoon, it was fast. Halifax is inhabited by a few immigrants; the majority of the current population are the descendants of immigrants from Scotland. Even though they are welcoming/cheerful/kind and friendly people,  I faced the second stage of culture shock, which I am Still facing it currently.

  • I totally disagree with the action of EU because of the following reasons:
    • The animal testing can protect humans from the side effects of the new products or medicines. 
    • It has lower financial cost when you compare it  with the human volunteers.
    • It is faster because the animals reproduce multiple times in a year.
