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 the fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to a school in 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 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 also surprised by how hard-working US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything , so we study hard . 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.

In the early 1900s, Carol Ryrie Brink lived with her grandmother Caddie on a tiny farm in Idaho. The farm was a great place to live. Besides wonderful tall trees, it had cats, chickens and a horse. Carol often rode the horse through the streets of town.

Even so, Carol was sometimes lonely. She would climb to the top of her favorite tree and make up stories to cheer herself up. Her favorite part of the day was when Grandmother Caddie would sit with her and tell stories about her and her brothers.

Carol loved the stories so much that when she grew up, she decided to write a book about them. Thousands of children throughout the world have read and loved her book Caddie Woodlawn.
