Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
When it comes to preparations for studying abroad, the very first challenge for students is
how to live independently. Stepping out of their comfort zone to live and study in a faraway
country often ingrains an obscure fear of loneliness and helplessness. Therefore, if you have a
plan to earn a degree in a foreign country, you need to equip yourselves with essential skills to
start a truly independent life as soon as possible. First and foremost, you do not need to be an
excellent cook but should know basic cooking skills to feed yourselves. Suppose that you
experienced a pandemic period, you would have to cook at home due to social distancing and
most restaurant closures. Second, clean-up and household skills are of equal importance. To
lower accommodation costs, many students often choose to share apartments with other
mates. Definitely, no one wants to stay with those who are untidy and do not know how to do
simple household tasks, so make sure that you can do daily housework well enough. Third,
money management is a challenging task for most overseas students. Some students are often
flat broke at the end of the month because they cannot handle their budget. It's advisable to be
a smart shopper by making a suitable shopping list and keeping an accurate record of your daily
expenses to avoid pointless debt. In short, the pieces of advice will hopefully make your
independent life easier when you go to university in another country.
