Your Responsibilities:

It is very important that you realise that this homestay you are at is just that, a homestay, and not a Hotel! The family you are with have opened their doors and hearts to you and are hoping for a positive experience.
你的責(zé)任
　　還有請記住，你應(yīng)該了解你的寄宿家庭是寄宿家庭，而不是旅館！這是一個家，他們對你打開他們的大門及他們的心，他們希望你在他們的家庭里有正面的積極經(jīng)歷。

An important thing to remember is that your host family will feel that you are part of their family, and this means that you will have the same rules and expectation that their own children will have, or that the school has asked them to put in place; for example, you must negotiate a curfew with your new family. Your family have been given reasonable guidelines to work with, including curfews – and they will expect you to keep to your word and be honest and open about where you are going and what you are doing. If you feel you must lie about where you are going or how late you will be home; it is probably a good indication that you are not supposed to be in that place, our out that late!! You must talk with your homestay family about what time you are expected to be home, either on the weekend or on week days. Ideally, you should be spending time studying on the week days, but there may be exceptions and again, you must ask your homestay parents if it is acceptable to go out during the week.

　　另外一點很重要的是，你的寄宿家庭將你認(rèn)為他們家庭中的一員，也就是說對你的規(guī)定是與他們家里的孩子是一樣的，或者說他們將按照學(xué)校的要求去做。例如，你需要與他們家里討論你的作息時間。他們希望你能夠按照你說的去做，希望你能誠實并且告訴他們你去哪里，去做什么。你需要與你的寄宿家庭談清楚，希望你什么時候回家，這包括在平時的時候以及周末。最好的情況是，在平時的時間里花時間學(xué)習(xí)，但如果有例外，請告訴寄宿家庭你是否可以允許在平時的時候也出去。

please listen to the instructions that your homestay give you regarding the routine in the home. This includes things such as TURNING OFF YOUR HEATER, TURNING OFF YOUR COMpUTER, MAKING YOUR BED, HANGING Up WET TOWELS, CLEANING Up AFTER YOURSELF, pUTTING RUBBISH IN THE RUBBISH BIN etc. If your homestay has to persistently ask you to do these simple things, this can cause a big problem. Again, although the homestay is your ‘home’, you must be respectful of the rules and requests of your homestay.

　　請認(rèn)真聽你寄宿家庭給你說過的家庭的作息及要求，這些包括如：關(guān)上電暖氣、關(guān)上計算機(jī)、清理你的床、掛上你的濕毛巾、洗澡后清理浴室、垃圾放進(jìn)垃圾箱等等。如果你的寄宿家庭不斷地和你說這些問題，就是說明你已經(jīng)給家里帶來了一些不便。再有，你的寄宿家庭也是你的家，你需要遵守這些規(guī)則并尊重寄宿家庭。

You will need to communicate clearly and honestly with your homestay parents regarding your whereabouts/intended plans, and time you will be home. Your homestay parent may feel that these times are a little too late for you, and if this is the case, you will have to listen to your host parents and respect their guidelines.

　　你需要與寄宿家庭明確及誠實地溝通 ，如果你的寄宿家庭覺得這些時間可能對你來說太晚了，如果是這樣，你需要尊重并接受他們的意見。

You must always communicate with your homestay regarding your whereabouts. If you are continually late home (after your curfew), your homestay will contact the school and action will be taken. Your parents/agent may be informed about this, and further action may be taken by the school.

　　你需要及時與你的寄宿家庭溝通，如果你不斷地回家太晚，寄宿家庭就會與學(xué)校聯(lián)系，學(xué)校就會對你采取措施，也同時會告之你的中介及家長，進(jìn)一步的措施將會采取。

Alcohol, Drugs and other issues

It is illegal to drink alcohol under the age of 18 years in New Zealand. If you are caught drinking or with alcohol during your time here at TGS, there may be serious consequences. Your homestay has been asked to inform the school if they suspect that you are drinking alcohol or taking any illegal substances. There have been incidents in the past where students have been sent home to their country of origin for taking or possessing alcohol/drugs. please be responsible when it comes to these matters.

酒，毒品及其它
　　在新西蘭18歲以下喝酒是違法的，如果你因為喝酒開畫或在校時間喝灑，這可能導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的后果，學(xué)校已告之你的寄宿家庭：如果懷疑你有飲酒或其它違法事宜，他們需要立即通知學(xué)校。在過去的一些年里，一些學(xué)生因為飲酒及其它違法事宜，被譴返回國。對這樣的事情，你自己負(fù)全部責(zé)任。

The legal age for having sex in New Zealand is 16. Under no circumstances are you to take a boyfriend/girlfriend to your homestay bedroom and close the door. Your homestay has also been informed about these rules, so please do not place your homestay in an awkward situation wherein they feel they have to contact the school to inform of such a situation.

在新西蘭合法的性行為是在16歲以上。但在任何情況下你都不能在寄宿家庭里和你的男朋友或女朋友關(guān)上門單獨(dú)留在房間里。學(xué)校已通知你的寄宿家庭有關(guān)這些規(guī)定，所以請不要將你的寄宿家庭置于這種難堪的處境，否則他們將會通知學(xué)校。

Showering and Toiletries:

power and water are very expensive in New Zealand – and it is usual to have one shower per day (approximately 5 minutes). There will probably be other members of the family in the home who want to use the bathroom (especially in the mornings), so please make your time in the bathroom bri. Girls will have to ask their host mother what they should do to dispose of their used personal toiletries. You do not flush used sanitary towels down the toilet.
It is not appropriate to shower very late at night (for example when you arrive home after 9.00pm).

洗澡及廢棄物

　　在新西蘭，水及電都是很貴的。你可以每天沖一次澡，一次最多五分鐘。在家里還有其它家庭成員也可能要用洗手間（特別是在早上），所以請確認(rèn)不要在洗手間呆太久。女生要問一下寄宿家庭將你用完的廢紙扔到哪里，請不要將這些廢棄物扔進(jìn)便池并沖走。在晚于晚上九點以后再洗澡是不全適的。

You are responsible for your own toiletries; shampoo/conditioner/body wash/toothpaste etc, and ask your homestay host where you should keep these items. It is your responsibility to provide your own toiletries during your stay.

　　你自己處理你自己的廢棄紙，問一下寄宿家庭東西需要放在哪兒里，如香波、護(hù)發(fā)素、洗浴液、牙膏等

Meals:

New Zealand food will naturally be quite different than that in your own country. It is important that you try out new foods so please be open minded about what you are eating. The homestay will try to accommodate your requirements, but generally they will be cooking the food that the family likes and you will need to get used to the new styles and types of food provided. You should discuss with your homestay family your likes and dislikes, and they will listen to you and try to accommodate you to a certain degree. However, please remember to try the “kiwi” style food that they provide. It is really quite delicious once you get used to it!!
