Passage D
    Following the customs and traditions of a new place may help newcomers adapt to their new life.People who try to follow the ways of their new environment will gain an understanding of both their new neighbors and their surroundings，and with this understanding comes a feeling of comfort and belonging.For instance，when I first came here，I was confused about how to greet people and say hello or start a conversation.I watched people on the street and saw many different ways people did this，such as shaking hands，hugging，and even kissing one another.I learned from my friends at school how to greet people of my age as well as my elders.I also learned it is important in this country to try to look people in the eye when I talk to them.As a result，since I started to follow some of the local customs when meeting and greeting people，I have not felt like such a stranger or outsider.
    Living in a new country can be overwhelming（令人不知所措的） and confusing at times.Some people may feel lost and uncomfortable and may want to stick to the customs and traditions that they are used to from their own culture.In my opinion，it is good to keep some of these；however，it is important to try to get familiar with some new ways as well.Keeping some old ways and at the same time keeping an open mind about following some of the new ones may be the best way to help people feel comfortable and fulfilled in a new country.
