19．A student's life is never easy．（36）G A lot of preparations are needed so you can be sure to go back home with a diploma and a bright future waiting for you．The following are some basic things you need to do before even seizing that passport and boarding on the plane．
Knowing the country．
You shouldn't bother researching the country's hottest tourist spots or historical places．You won't go there as a tourist，but as a student．It'll be helpful to read the most important points in their history and to read up on their culture．（37）C You surely don't want to face legal problems，especially if you're away from home．
Studying their language．
Don't expect that you can graduate abroad without knowing even the basics of the language．Before leaving your home country，take online lessons to at least master some of their words and sentences．（38）D Doing this will also prepare you in communicating with those who can't speak English．
（39）B
Check the conversion（兑换）of your money to their local currency，set up your bank account so you can use it there，get an insurance，and find an apartment．The Internet or your intended school will be very helpful in finding an apartment and helping you understand local currency．

A．Packing your clothes．
B．Preparing for other needs．
C．Most importantly，read about their laws．
