On the basis of what you have read in this chapter, what additional changes will be necessary when you go abroad to study?

-
Interview someone who has returned from study abroad about the difficulties he or she met. You might find it helpful to base your questions on the headings we have used in this chapter: Language, Daily Life, and Study Habits. Find out how this person coped with those difficulties. Make notes on the interview and discuss these with other members of your class.
(Alternatively, you might invite one or more returned students to give a brief talk to your class and then answer your question) always been successful
