Soal 1: JET LAG

One of the first adjustments you will have to face after your arrival in the United States is jet lag. Jet
Lag is the physical shock of having to adjust to a new time zone. It is caused by the long airplane flight.
After several days (perhaps as long as a week) of disorientation and sleepiness, you will begin to
function normally. It takes about one day to adjust for each hour difference in time. Most U.S. training
locations are about 9-12 hours different in time. So, do not be surprised if you feel a bit disoriented or
unusually tired for a week or more. It is important to report for the training on the specified date, which
is usually several days prior to when your instruction will actually begin. This will allow you to adjust and
recover from jet lag before the course formally begins.

Soal 2: CULTURE SHOCK

Listen to this lecture on culture shock, given by a university professor. Well, lets start by a brief
definition of culture shock. We can define as the physical and emotional discomfort one suffers when
coming to live in another country or a place different from the place of origin .This term expresses the
lack of direction , the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment, and
not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. Living in a new country can be hard, but sometimes
you just have to adjust to difficult situations. Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages
to culture shock. First of all, discovery stage.

Uh, to the visitor, everything seems new and unusual the food, the surroundings, the buildings. And it
produces a feeling of excitement to be in the new environment a desire to look around, to experiment,
and to explore the new culture. In this stage, the individual feels involved in some kind of fantastic
adventure.
