How it works

Look at the role badge and arrow. In what role is she talking about daily life? First identify her standpoint.

「として」 means speaking or acting in a certain role, capacity, or from a certain standpoint. It corresponds to “as.”

Attach it to a noun without adding 「だ」: 留学生+として. The noun before it names the role.

留学生として: from an international student’s standpoint, explaining that looking after your health is also an important part of daily life.

予防策として: treating walking in the shade as a measure to prevent heatstroke.
