Clearly you may have to learn a new language, and that takes some time to be fluent. In some countries people drive on the other side of the road and that means you have to be extra careful when crossing the road. Going to a new school in a new country can be very worrying too. There are new rules to understand, new teachers, new daily routines and even new subjects to learn. Even learning how to put on a tie is a new experience for some students! When I first went to school in England the biggest lesson I had to learn was how to talk to teachers. In my country we would never dare to look our teachers in the eye when talking to them, it is considered very rude. But when you have to stand in front of a teacher over here the first thing they will say to you is Look at me when I m talking to you!. 3248/01/M/J/15
