Do you want to know anything about my staying in America? Well, let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.

In China, I have had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However, I didn't know textbook English was very different 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 am 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 the US cultures. To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler(白的).

I am also surprised by how hard-working the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time. But here, an “excellent” 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.
