You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade.However, I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you? ” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I'm tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What's up? ” It made me confused.I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan.However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.”
I am also surprised by how hard-working US students are.In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that's it.But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
