As I am exchange student, I had to go to pre-departure orientation in order to get a little bit familiar with american culture, so that i can adapt faster and probably avoid culture shock.
I want to make this less complicated. :)
First things that I noticed when i got here were:
1. People don't kiss each other when they meet.
2. People always say: "Please", "Excuse me", "Thank you", "Sorry".
3. School has lots of activities
4. Students can take any classes that want
5. Food is very expensive
6. Clothes are very cheap
7. People are very nice.
8. Almost all people live in houses.
9. Americans are not stupid at all. That's true.
10. All fun stuff is on the weekends.
11. All people use cars, but unfortunately, noone likes walking.
12. Drinking age is 21.
13. Voting age is 18.
14. People say very inappropriate things very often.
15. Almost all girls wear shorts, flip-flops and sweatshirts!
That's all for today!

i would say after the word culture and before the word so put a period and make 2 full sentences
I think you should expand more and write how that helped you to avoid culture shock and tell us what culture shock is.
