【正确答案】Topic: I would give my friend two suggestions.
Reason 1: Firstly, assimilating into the culture as much as possible is very important. Almost always, when foreign students come to China, they still speak their mother tongue and stay in the foreigners' dorms. To really understand China, my friend should talk to locals, go to parties, see films in the theater, try the food, and maybe even get a part-time job.
Reason 2: Secondly, I would suggest that my friend stay safe and cautious. I would never want to see my friend get pick-pocketed, robbed, or cheated. One must be careful around strangers in a new environment.
