Interpretation of Common Sense of Studying in Korea

# Chinese, Chinese and Chinese # Introduction With the increasing popularity of Korean culture in China, many students choose to study in Korea in order to feel the traditional and authentic Korean culture. The following is a shared interpretation of the common sense of studying in South Korea. Welcome to read the reference! 1.

climate

South Korea has a temperate maritime climate, with four distinct seasons from China. It is the hottest from July to August every year, with an average temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius and a temperature of about 38 to 40 degrees Celsius. February to February, 65438 was the coldest, with an average temperature of about minus 5 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius.

Summer in Korea is hot, with rainy season and high temperature and humidity. In winter, the temperature is cold and windy. Only in spring and autumn, the temperature is pleasant, and the weather is sunny and livable. Because the four seasons in Korea change obviously, China students studying in Korea should be prepared to take clothes with reference to the weather in Beijing, so as to spend winter and summer smoothly.

2. Price

South Korea's overall price level is relatively high, which is similar to the consumption level of developed cities in China.

Prices in Korea vary from region to region. Prices in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, are higher than those in other regions, including accommodation, rent, tuition and catering.

Step 3 prescribe diet

Koreans mainly eat rice and pasta, and like to eat thick and spicy foods, such as kimchi and Chili sauce, which are the main side dishes or seasonings in Korean daily life. Koreans love to drink soup, especially pickled vegetable soup and bean curd soup, which are all necessary soups in Korea.

The Korean market is rich in spices and raw materials, so it is easy for China students to buy what they need if they cook by themselves. In addition, South Korea's fast food industry is also very popular, such as bread, hamburgers, pizza, fried chicken and other western-style fast food is extremely common. Of course, China restaurants are also appearing around us more and more.

4. Transportation method

South Korea has developed public transportation. Despite the traffic jam in Seoul, the developed subway lines and bus-only expressway can get anywhere you want quickly. If you use a transportation card uniformly throughout the country, you can enjoy the discount of free transfer.

2. Learn the common sense of studying in Korea.

First, South Korea's etiquette and taboos

Matters needing attention in Korean etiquette:

1. Koreans advocate Confucianism and respect their elders. When the elders enter the house, everyone should stand up and ask them how long they will live. Take off your sunglasses when talking to the old man. Get up in the morning and greet your parents after dinner; When parents go out and come back, the children have to see him before they can eat. When riding a bike, make way for the old man. When eating, you should serve food to the elderly or elders first. Only when the old man moves chopsticks can others eat. When riding a bike, make way for the old man.

Generally speaking, Korean women don't shake hands with men, and nodding or bowing is a common etiquette. More honorifics and honorifics are used in addressing, and it is rare to directly address each other by their first names. If the other party has a position and title in society, Koreans must. South Korea generally does not hold hands as a courtesy to meet. Once you want to shake hands, be careful to use both hands, or just use your right hand. When the younger generation and subordinates shake hands with their elders and superiors, after the latter reaches out, the former must first shake hands with the right hand, and then casually put themselves on the latter's right hand. Will be used repeatedly.

When giving gifts to Koreans, it should be noted that Korean men like textiles, ties, lighters and electric razors. Women like cosmetics, bags, gloves, scarves and spices used in the kitchen. Children like food. If you send money, you should put it in an envelope. Koreans accept gifts with both hands, but they don't open them in front of guests. It is not appropriate to send foreign cigarettes to Korean friends. Wine is a gift for Korean men, but you can't send wine to a woman unless you make it clear that the wine is for her husband.

4, elders are present, do not smoke, do not wear sunglasses. Use both hands when accepting items, and don't open gifts in person. Gift money should be put in a white gift bag, not a red one.

Taboo culture in Korea;

1, Koreans cherish white. The national flower is hibiscus, the pine tree is the national tree, the sparrow is the national bird, and the tiger is the national animal. Taboo numbers are "4" and "13". Because the pronunciation is the same as "death", Koreans should not use similar "private", "teacher" and "thing".

When we meet on holidays, we can't say unlucky words, let alone get angry and quarrel. On the third day of the first lunar month, you can't take out the garbage, sweep the floor, and kill chickens and pigs. Avoid lighting a fire at the Cold Food Festival. The zodiac is a marriage, and the wedding date is not a day. Fishermen are not allowed to turn over when eating fish for fear of capsizing. Don't go to someone else's house to have your nails cut, or the two families will have a grudge after their death. Don't wear a hat when eating, or you will be poor for life. Avoid pillow books when you sleep, or you will accomplish nothing. Avoid killing dogs born in the first month, or accidents will occur within three years.

In Korea, men are superior to women. When entering a room, women should not walk in front of men. Women should help men take off their coats. When sitting down, women should take the initiative to sit behind men. Don't speak loudly in front of men.

Second, South Korea should pay attention to taking public transportation.

1. Vacant "pregnant seats for the elderly, the sick and the disabled" and "nursing seats for pregnant women"

About 30% of all subway cars in Korea are "special seats for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled". The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled include not only the elderly, but also the disabled, pregnant women, infant caregivers, children, patients and other temporary traffic vulnerable groups. In the subway, there are special seats for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled in about four places before and after a car. The yellow seats for the elderly, the sick and the disabled and the pink seats for caring for pregnant women are the seats that must be vacated. The purpose of setting up a special nursing seat for pregnant women is to take care of pregnant women who are not easily distinguished from pregnant women, so that they can sit down safely and don't care about other people's eyes. If we keep an open mind and leave a special seat for the elderly, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women, we can use public transport more comfortably and safely.

2. Backpack on your chest

Backpacks are very important and valuable for tourists, but please don't forget that backpacks may cause obstacles to others on public transport. In particular, the word "backpacker" has even appeared in South Korea, and people who take public transport with huge backpacks have been accused more and more. Passengers carrying big backpacks in a narrow space, sometimes their unconscious actions will cause other passengers' belongings to get stuck or their clothes to be torn. If you put a big backpack on your chest or on the ground, or avoid turning quickly when carrying the bag, passengers can spend the day in a happy mood by taking care of each other.

3. Take-away drinks are forbidden on buses.

In order to cool down with cold drinks in hot summer, or to keep warm with hot drinks in cold winter, passengers often take take-away drinks with them. Take-away drinks are not tightly sealed and will spill out if you are not careful. In addition to avoiding drinks, you must also avoid carrying strong-smelling food. In particular, from June 20 18 to June 20 18, passengers were forbidden to carry take-away coffee in Seoul. This is to prevent passengers from accidentally knocking over the cup containing hot drinks or ice cubes when taking the bus, endangering passengers' safety or causing disputes. For yourself, this drink is cold or warm, but it may be an unpleasant food for other passengers on the bus.

4. The subway gets off first and then gets on.

Buses are different from subways. Most buses get off and get on separately, so there is no problem. However, the subway has only one door and gets on and off at the same time. As the most basic etiquette of the subway, the first thing that must be observed is to wait for all passengers to get off before getting on the bus. In addition, in order to prevent passengers from rushing to get off the bus, they should queue up when waiting for the bus. When the train doors open, please step back and take care of the passengers who want to get off, and then get on one by one. For the sake of safety and a good day's mood, please take good care of others and wait until all passengers get off before getting on the bus.

Please pay attention to these ways of renting when living in Korea.

1, semi-underground

Semi-underground, as the name implies, is half underground and half on the ground. I believe that friends who have seen the Korean movie "Parasites" are no strangers to semi-underground. This kind of house has windows. The advantage is that the price will be very cheap and the area will be large.

But the disadvantage is that it is easy to get wet, especially when it is exchanged in spring and summer! If you go back to China during the summer vacation, you may find that the clothes in your closet are hairy ... and from time to time, there are all kinds of bugs that grow because of humidity. Moreover, the semi-underground is still poorly ventilated, and it is easy to feel gloomy when there is little sunshine.

2. Examination institutions

In fact, the price of the examination institute is actually not very cheap. The examination center near the school in Seoul is almost 350,000 to 400,000 won, which is about 2,400 yuan. The advantage of the examination institute is that there is no deposit, no contract, freedom to live and leave if you want, and free rice and kimchi will be provided.

However, there are many shortcomings, especially the poor sound insulation effect. Even many examination rooms have no windows and the environment is relatively general. And the most important thing is that the living environment is particularly small, and an examination room is about 5 square meters. Of course, there are also many examination institutes with superior environment. When choosing a house, you must remember to make a field trip.

3. Tower

Many students who love watching Korean dramas seem to have a wonderful imagination of tower houses and balconies. The night is romantic, but the reality is that Leng Xia is hot in winter.

As a matter of fact, as you can see, many Korean manners are similar to those of China. Anyway, it is right to pay more attention to going out.

3. South Korea saves money by studying abroad

First, study.

1. Scholarship

Korean universities need to pay tuition and registration fees at the same time. Scholarships can reduce tuition fees, and reduce tuition fees by 20%-80% according to students' grades.

Everyone can reduce their tuition expenses through this, and freshmen need to provide their own language scores when applying; Students at school need to provide their own test scores, and scholarships need to wait for about one month.

2. Teaching material fee

The school will not uniformly order the teaching materials needed for the course study, and everyone needs to buy them according to the bibliography provided by the teacher. It is very uneconomical to buy new books, because many books will not be used after the course.

At this time, it is suggested that you can buy old books from seniors or seniors, or go to second-hand shopping malls and surrounding bookstores. It will be much cheaper to buy second-hand books. Of course, the school library may have donated books, but it is generally less.

Second, life.

1. Residence

In addition, the choice of accommodation, cost-effective, is undoubtedly the dormitory provided by the school for students. When applying for fees, everyone should keep this matter in mind and submit it together with the application of the institution.

Although students' dormitories share bathrooms and bathrooms, there is no kitchen, but the price is at least one-third cheaper than renting. For most students, this is undoubtedly the way.

Eat something

For catering, I suggest you solve it in the school cafeteria. Because the canteen is subsidized, the price of a meal is much cheaper than going out to eat, and the choices are also very rich, which can basically meet everyone's needs.

But you can also bring your own simple electric kitchen utensils and cook some simple dishes, which will be cheaper. Of course, this method has security risks and is not recommended.
