When I first arrived in Australia at 16, I was ecstatic about everything. The plane touching down in Sydney ____ me, and I soon realized that no amount of preparation could have prevented the culture shock I experienced. Culture shock goes beyond discomfort and homesickness; it includes a "novelty ____" where everything feels new and exciting. However, this feeling doesn't last forever. After a couple of months, differences became more ____, and I started missing home. Frustrating thoughts would ____ on me (move to me without being noticed), ____ with feelings of disorientation and frustration. Over time, I entered the "____ phase," where my sense of belonging ____ (took the place of sth. that came before) my displacement. I learned to adapt, made new friends, and understood Australian culture better. This process, known as the "mastery phase," led to a ____ where I felt comfortable and avoided social ____. By putting myself out there, talking, developing routines, staying positive, and using humor, I overcame culture shock and gained intercultural skills.
