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.
你的责任
　　还有请记住，你应该了解你的寄宿家庭是寄宿家庭，而不是旅馆！这是一个家，他们对你打开他们的大门及他们的心，他们希望你在他们的家庭里有正面的积极经历。

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.

　　另外一点很重要的是，你的寄宿家庭将你认为他们家庭中的一员，也就是说对你的规定是与他们家里的孩子是一样的，或者说他们将按照学校的要求去做。例如，你需要与他们家里讨论你的作息时间。他们希望你能够按照你说的去做，希望你能诚实并且告诉他们你去哪里，去做什么。你需要与你的寄宿家庭谈清楚，希望你什么时候回家，这包括在平时的时候以及周末。最好的情况是，在平时的时间里花时间学习，但如果有例外，请告诉寄宿家庭你是否可以允许在平时的时候也出去。

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.

　　请认真听你寄宿家庭给你说过的家庭的作息及要求，这些包括如：关上电暖气、关上计算机、清理你的床、挂上你的湿毛巾、洗澡后清理浴室、垃圾放进垃圾箱等等。如果你的寄宿家庭不断地和你说这些问题，就是说明你已经给家里带来了一些不便。再有，你的寄宿家庭也是你的家，你需要遵守这些规则并尊重寄宿家庭。

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.

　　你需要与寄宿家庭明确及诚实地沟通 ，如果你的寄宿家庭觉得这些时间可能对你来说太晚了，如果是这样，你需要尊重并接受他们的意见。

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.

　　你需要及时与你的寄宿家庭沟通，如果你不断地回家太晚，寄宿家庭就会与学校联系，学校就会对你采取措施，也同时会告之你的中介及家长，进一步的措施将会采取。

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
　　在新西兰18岁以下喝酒是违法的，如果你因为喝酒开画或在校时间喝洒，这可能导致严重的后果，学校已告之你的寄宿家庭：如果怀疑你有饮酒或其它违法事宜，他们需要立即通知学校。在过去的一些年里，一些学生因为饮酒及其它违法事宜，被谴返回国。对这样的事情，你自己负全部责任。

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.

在新西兰合法的性行为是在16岁以上。但在任何情况下你都不能在寄宿家庭里和你的男朋友或女朋友关上门单独留在房间里。学校已通知你的寄宿家庭有关这些规定，所以请不要将你的寄宿家庭置于这种难堪的处境，否则他们将会通知学校。

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).

洗澡及废弃物

　　在新西兰，水及电都是很贵的。你可以每天冲一次澡，一次最多五分钟。在家里还有其它家庭成员也可能要用洗手间（特别是在早上），所以请确认不要在洗手间呆太久。女生要问一下寄宿家庭将你用完的废纸扔到哪里，请不要将这些废弃物扔进便池并冲走。在晚于晚上九点以后再洗澡是不全适的。

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.

　　你自己处理你自己的废弃纸，问一下寄宿家庭东西需要放在哪儿里，如香波、护发素、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!!
