For them, social life entails going somewhere outside their house or apartment and "doing something", such as drinking in a bar or at a party, participating in some sport or recreational activity (To Americans, the word "drinking" refers to consuming alcoholic beverages.), having a picnic, going to a concert, or at least taking a walk. "Just staying home" and "visiting" or "playing games" would b the last resort of most Americans who want to socialize. A large amount of socializing among American students takes place in bars. Other common gathering places are recreation facilities, parks, and places to eat. Students from other countries generally seem far less interested in drinking, at least in public places. This fact erects a significant barrier to socializing between American and foreign students, and serves to drive foreign students toward each other for social activities. Chinese students who want to socialize with Americans but who do not want to drink alcohol can g to bars for conversation (although the noise level can make it difficult to bear others talking and the cigarette smoke can be irritating). They can drink something non-alcoholic or not drink anything. A good strategy is to order a club soda with a lime twist, which looks like an alcoholic drink, called a gin and tonic, and will give the appearance that you are drinking alcohol. People who are drinking often feel more relaxed talking with other people who they think are also drinking. Gay Life "Gay" is a colloquialism for homosexual, a person whose feelings of sexual attraction are toward members of their own sex. A "lesbian" is a homosexual woman. A "bisexual" is a person who feels attraction toward members of both sexes. On many American campuses gay students are becoming more open and visible. So are gay faculty and staff members. Organized Group Activities Many free or low-cost activities take place on American campuses, and participating in them can lead to conversations with Americans. These include lectures, film showings, readings of literature or poetry, musical performances, and sports. Student organizations form around a wide array of interests, including chess, martial arts, soccer, hiking, biking, folk dancing, various political issues or viewpoints, field-of-study or vocational areas, and many, many others. The web site of the school you will attend probably has a list of student organizations. Many religious organizations have clubs or activities aimed at students. Some groups of students meet regularly for Bible study. Many Chinese students join a Bible-study group, even if they are not Christians, because the group gives opportunities for meeting people, improving English, and getting to know Americans in a setting without alcohol and loud noise.  ,TRX,_>e_f[`Ns^Swww.TingClass.net f[ ~,TR N,TRX00MQ9,TR N}0www.tingclass.net -  PAGE 1 -  0F`Fcke a$$1$CJPJKHmH sH nHtHn`nh 1!dBTXDJYD$$@&*CJ,PJaJ,5KH,mH sH nHtH_H\^`^h 2!dXDYD$$@&CJ OJPJQJaJ 5\R`Rh 3!dXDYD$$@&CJ aJ 5\^`^h 4!dxXD"YD$$@&CJOJPJQJaJ5\d`bdh 6$dXD[$dYD\$a$$1$@&CJOJQJ^JaJ5KH\$A`$؞k=W[SO,a`,HTML _e6])`ux.U`.cB*`Jph>*"X`!":_6]To1T phonetic2*B*`JphfffCJOJQJo(^JaJ5\.oA.caption15\ZoQZ(reply Char Char$CJPJaJKHmH sH nHtH_Hfoaf- bt4 Char Char4B*`Jph3CJPJaJ5KHmH sH nHtH_HXoqX%para Char Char$CJPJaJKHmH sH nHtH_Hfof#TopSage.com Char Char$CJPJaJKHmH sH nHtH_HVoV Char Char*CJ,PJaJ,5KH,mH sH nHtH_H\2o2 cnn_dynone1<\o\'answer Char Char$CJPJaJKHmH sH nHtH_He` HTML .6s\p7I7b\QnzQ"q6"vь ."H"#j]bづpS=1[:}/je+#ZTi ¬ool9" K59j5K, avk k莢v üVL5"\٢:ܽozv1VԬtg+Xe9ӬZM~SWө*j5Fڗ0h ms\]1R9m,Q6+bThEbIъOnh TX.h(M2F&8b,Qoh ThEbF.X.6p"vѶ(Km=bFxO=E IRcCvmT\֍'Vdn۟җs$erW"vm]KbTi LW3x,j%-khZmD@qҺ'*Z cCbcFk]; SyDk0.{f$+ԋj@9XszcAwd/_fG kXu8t{ӴrH׊xZG밸mWofWv޽jg*RK3F:s^eZr7 nZbThYdX}E.xoI"E3mX~m`*]p%7C50+[W4`w?BE}kA&Gj,aKN;נBA\$kAh7h1Y΃aè6YZX]Ƅ|ָs|!(J޻kKTcCjEu #|!N3:j1km8DǠB(cZm7;C{isW` 9pNEbkEQjR u<+pF< 6Ը R$[޹z؀Fǵ1+noW_C~JA(ZѤ ~鰅d!mqֺ֛pC ]u B9BTD&%KhzOO%O²)ZYU:Uܲ'v}fe ԥ,)kIn߸Zd1Ԥ *QW71VQݘ5^On^Eti JcTӛ9tpFOL7 *<9 NqY6Ȼ\VR+.M>kFC[I.Oƌi2o4t ccǨ fE4vH5nzpTR{}(Rcg8>Z[hVţc&HYis#HќCvѶ eNEsN5gfF8k==2Օ4cJKmw˴,O͎+9˱߆J9.kMٌpuf^L è RS +R4M66ub\}==u*Ȱ?6)]/Hs}zHaڄfpIHI}%bh򿈿.B#Fړm.(XmjPm-mvѷҀ"Fڗo4m,E.Z6"FڗnzV}ޡTJ* "|ܷ9mT,{X33隣_PTa\{tw,Ԓ]Jߝc=<]K ]jMJxXES޷2!~2kGh8\V] A>k헶F-62dTk[|'Ј-ILԯp 拭kM\ÊUTt;0 %f9p c3&vZX&F}j-o0-ұ^h0Yu\>%JK6hZyǜ֊O+VEG-/$sX(W'*u:ZvhR.A.UϖB-#<$wkjqO@*4i/X\^z)1KޖC/n̚dc\ME7>s=kv67|`K 2+׆*,hJ6VR>,2i6dOq\楯 gpZ3Z~;7dU,Ij"lR`HN{ip $JAwS]։EiĊ7c\ʐ1wpOznjC? ^2M#[>$m>e ~x}Zx,qںn[)4KqA^Khrpε!E/ym}|״4!ROz׾cj˭g^jcd+晦f=jiX[T p4ru@[PF=+Xg+Ѿ]KFژRm6m徢mQq8pt"i4mc*| EQ-z@j;W:nB<~lMwe;J[&M4bN$I+f1qOϴV'qfyYM= ZDøtEpx:z%\Dt4'Iê, Dtk'W$b\tu Vsg4d]bJ vѶongB].cXЩ((ojMTl|C`۲E]H1 |& s9Ft$En}ԶLF8j-(Fn3s9QU+NQIc HW Mj]{%%լ:IzmYڷuIIBWSjV94}/M!@Mw­gkD{*v)E⍵&]Qx_?S%~JsQ2=j]mv2/cU[sW Jd+}> zpF\ e^T"*`kSmC5`Sʔns(b%ŸMkU`θD&M=cpq \k*HԐt$MTiiS۸lbX|z8)sXF̍9nrr|'J-H9,QJ԰FpV3Tuב\k9<ҭk:\tc(}+4ΥJc ӭ S:_8,tΜѓkÿ5FGZiR10H>L!J_d8=kWU{"#\Ɇpm9l<EWYl>Ϳ=kBA_e]f)eaUt5mbwrX C{⋋O_F;9B1ޝ%%C-O6ppkKDqKK`S|:3nN(G)k 4m<)k!Vn9ou$۹`TUƕ81Sˡ׎F驏2~LӼQ.
