Looks beautiful! There are many emergencies for Chinese students studying abroad. It is important to understand the law. Yu Yang, a sophomore from Shanghai, came to New York for a summer study tour. However, he was robbed twice at his boarding house in just half a month, resulting in a loss of thousands of dollars. After reporting the crime, the police ignored him. This encounter made him decide to end his study tour early and return to China today. The lost computer, camera, and many of the treasured college imaging materials inside are gone forever. Fortunately, the agency, EF Education First, attaches great importance to this matter. After consulting with the insurance company, it will compensate for Yang's property losses. The reporter recently dialed the phone number of EF Education First in China and asked questions about the choice of homestay families. To confirm whether they meet some of our requirements, including how to provide accommodation, meals, and other assistance, he can submit a complete application. After the application, the school will do a final review. She also said that the school will improve the review standards for the selection of homestay families in the future to avoid similar incidents from happening again, and will strongly recommend students to purchase insurance during the study tour to prevent problems in the future. Regarding safety matters during the study tour, we also consulted a lawyer. The lawyer suggested that it is best to choose to live in the school dormitory when registering. After getting familiar with the situation and inspecting it personally, you can then adjust to live with a host family. After living on campus, if you want to experience the American customs and culture, you can consider a homestay, but you should check in advance to see if it is suitable for you. The lawyer also reminded that if property is stolen or other cases occur, the parties involved must report to the police as soon as possible. Students who are not good at English must find friends to provide translation help, protect the scene before the police arrive, and take photos to collect evidence. Applying for a summer study tour is a good thing, but the differences in language and culture when coming to different countries can cause difficulties or some unexpected things. Therefore, the traveling students themselves also need to understand the laws of the countries they have visited and improve their adaptability.
