12、p a business in China after graduation,she explained.At first,Xie Lei had to adapt to life in a different country.“You have to get used to a whole new life.”she said.I had to earn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didnt know the English names for.When I got lost,I had to ask pa

18、 Chinese art was a great success,which boosted my confidence,”she said.“Ill use these skills back home for presentations.They ll help me build a strong business in the future.”Now halfway through her exchange year,Xie Lei feels much more at home in the UK.What seemed strange before now appears quite

19、 normal to her.Engaging in British culture has helped,she said.As well as studying hard,Ive been involved in social activities.British people are fascinated by our culture and eager to learn more about it,so Im keen to share my culture with them.While Im learning about business Im also acting as a c
