Sometimes work, study or a sense of adventure take us out of our familiar
surroundings to go and live in a different culture. The experience can be
difficult, even shocking. Almost everyone who studies, lives or works abroad
has problems adjusting to a new culture. This response is commonly referred
to as 'culture shock'. Culture shock can be defined as 'the physical and
emotional discomfort a person experiences when entering a culture different
from their own' (Weaver, 1993).
For people moving to Australia, Price (2001) has identified certain values
which may give rise to culture shock. Firstly, he argues that Australians place a
high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or
course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of
options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their circumstances.
It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong
and seek out resources and support for themselves. Australians are also
prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth.
This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form
their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the
evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise
the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult
Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with equality
means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are
even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure
time. As a consequence, some students may be critical of others who they
perceive as doing nothing but study.
Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters,
appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While
people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually
asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is
considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it
is also rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they do
not have children. It is also impolite to ask people how much they have paid
for something, unless there is a very good reason for asking.

Vanessa Jakeman)

sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 37 to 41.
Sylvia Earle is an underwater explorer and marine biologist who was born
in the USA in 1935. She became interested in the world's oceans from an early
age. As a child, she liked to stand on the beach for hours and look at the sea,
wondering what it must be like under the surface.
When she was 16, she finally got a chance to make her first dive, which
motivated her to become an underwater explorer. Since then, she has spent
more than 6,500 hours under water, and has led more than seventy expeditions
worldwide. She has also made the deepest dive ever, reaching a record-
breaking depth of 381 meters.
In 1970, she became famous around the world when she became the
captain of the first all-female team to live under water. The team spent two
weeks in an underwater 'house'. The research they carried out showed the
damage that pollution was causing to marine life, and especially to coral reefs.
Her team also studied the problem of over-fishing. Fishing methods meant that
people were catching too many fish. Earle warned, and many species were in
danger of becoming extinct.
Since then she has written several books and magazine articles about ways
of reducing the damage that is being done to the world's oceans. One way, she
believes, is to rely on fish farms for seafood, and reduce the amount of fishing
that is done out at sea. Although she no longer eats seafood herself, she
realises the importance it plays in our diets. However, people need to reduce
the impact they are having on the ocean's supplies.

thường được gọi là “sốc văn hóa”.
Cú sốc văn hóa có thể được định
nghĩa như là “sự khó chịu về thể
chất và cảm xúc mà một người trải
qua khi bước vào một nền văn hóa
khác với nền văn hóa của mình”
(Weaver, 1993).
Đối với những người chuyển đến
Úc, Price (2001) đã xác định được
những giá trị nhất định có thể làm
phát sinh sự sốc văn hóa. Đầu tiên,
ông cho rằng người Úc đề cao sự tự
lập và quyết định cá nhân. Điều này
có nghĩa là một giáo viên hoặc một
gia sư sẽ không bảo học sinh làm gì,
nhưng sẽ đưa cho chúng một vài lựa
chọn và đề nghị chúng tìm xem cái
nào là tốt nhất trong hoàn cảnh của
mình. Nó cũng có nghĩa là họ nên
hành động nếu có chuyện gì đó sai
sót và tìm kiếm các nguồn lực và sự
hỗ trợ cho bản thân.
Người Úc cũng sẵn sàng chấp nhận
nhiều ý kiến hơn là chỉ tin rằng có
một sự thật. Điều này nghĩa là trong
bối cảnh giáo dục, các học
