出国留学生住接待家庭的相处方式

行前邮件培训 第七讲 接待家庭TIPS

Dear AFSers,

大家还好吗？紧张的期末考试已经结束，进入暑假，终于有更多时间为出国交流做准备了！而成功的交流年，与接待家庭的相处起到最重要的作用，因为你不但朝夕与接待家庭相处，他们更是你在国外期间的后盾和依靠。那么今天来跟大家分享下一些TIPS，给大家些建议，如何与接待家庭相处好，遇到问题该怎么办。

1. 约法三章

第一次与接待家庭见面，先给他们微笑和大大的拥抱吧！一般接待家庭会向你介绍成员名字和房间的设置。为了消除陌生感，并为你的交流年确定好家规，以下几个问题你需要与接待家庭在一开始就沟通好并且始终遵守家规：

QUESTIONS FOR THE FIRST DAYS WITH THE HOST FAMILY

(1) How should I call you: mom, dad or first names?

(2) What else am I expected to do daily other than making my bed, keeping my room tidy, cleaning the bathroom every time I use it,...?

(3) Where should I keep my dirty clothes until wash day?

(4) Should I wash my own underclothes?

(5) May I use the washing machine at any time?If yes, how does it work?

(6) What is the procedure about using the bathroom? May I take a shower every day and at what time?

(7) What time do you usually have meals?

(8) Do I have permanent chores at meal times (set the table, clean up, do the dishes,... )?

(9) May I watch TV, listen to the radio or stereo If I want?

(10) May I use: the computer, the piano, the bicycle, etc.?

(11) What time should I usually go to bed on week days?

(12) What are your rules about going out at night?

(13) May I invite my friends to the house to eat or to sleep over? In this case, how much in advance should I tell you?

(14) May I personalize my room moving the furniture or hanging up pictures and posters?

(15) May I help myself for food and drinks between meals or must I ask first

(16) What are the rules about using the phone, making local and long distance phone calls and the e-mail?

2. 兄弟姐妹

大部分同学都是独生子女，虽然有表兄弟姐妹，但是很少有跟兄弟姐妹朝夕相处在同一屋檐下的经验。接待家庭的兄弟姐妹，可能有比你大很多已经离开家上大学或工作的，也有跟你差不多同龄也在一个学校上学的，也有比你小几岁甚至还是小BABY的，要与各个年龄层不同的兄弟姐妹相处。

主动了解兄弟姐妹的爱好和习惯
