Dear Betty,

I hope you’re well. I’m on holiday in London with my friend Jenny. We arrived by plane on Monday and took a taxi to our hotel. I went for a walk in Hyde Park but Jenny didn’t come with me because she was tired.

Then on Tuesday we saw the clock, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth lives in the Palace, but we didn’t see her! I bought some presents but Jenny didn’t buy anything!

The next day we visited the British Museum and had dinner in a Chinese restaurant!

On Thursday morning we relaxed. Then we went to Tower Bridge on the River Thames and looked at the city. It’s very big!

Finally today I did some shopping and Jenny listened to a concert in the park. I came back to the hotel and read the newspaper. Then I wrote some postcards and sent some emails. I took lots of photos and I’m sending them with this email to you!

Tomorrow we’re going to fly home. It was a short holiday, but it was great! Say hello to your mum and dad.

Love,

Gran

I dreamed of going to the USA when I was a middle school student. When I was in high school, I made up my   【小题1】  to go to America.
I wanted to study English and American culture. And I didn’t want to study in college in Japan at all. In Japan, it is very   【小题2】 to enter a famous college or university but easy to graduate, so students don’t study hard after they enter the college or university. This was one of the reasons why I came to America.
I came to America last September. I have been here for eight months. When I first came here, I was very surprised. There are many differences   【小题3】 Japan and America. I felt it was very strange and interesting.
I was also very upset because I heard English   【小题4】 . Whenever I watched TV, went shopping, or even   【小题5】  a walk, I heard only English. Everything was very hard for me because I could hardly understand English. Now I am used to hearing English and I can talk with Americans more easily,   【小题6】  things are getting better.
After I came here, I realized how much I love my family, how difficult it is to live by   【小题7】 , how exciting it is to live in another country, and how important it is to do   【小题8】  I want to do. If I didn’t come here, maybe I didn’t realize these things. This is the most important experience in my life. I’m going to stay here for about three years. I’ll never forget the life in the USA.
