On the first day of school our teacher let us know someone．Looking out, we found an old woman appeared at the door．She said, "Hi, my name is Susan, I'm seventy years old．" While we were 1 what made her take this challenge (挑战) at her age, she said with a smile, "I/m here to meet a rich husband, get 2 , have two children and travel together．"Hearing this, all of us laughed．"In fact," she went on, " I always 3 of having a college education, and now I'm getting one!"
After class we had chocolate and milk together．We became good 4 ．I often listened to this "time machine" as she shared her study with me．
At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a 5 ．When she was stepped up to the front, suddenly she found she took the wrong paper．She felt a little frustrated (沮丧的) and said, "I'm sorry．I'm so nervous that I can't get my ready talk back , so I have to tell you 6 I know．"
In her speech she told us, "We don't stop playing as we are old, we grow old because we stop playing．The secret of staying 7 , being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something 8 every day．I think there is a great 9 between growing old and growing up．I am seventy now．If I lie in bed for one full year and never do anything, I'll become seventy － one．Since anybody can grow older, my idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change．Growing older can't be avoided (避免的), growing up can be 10 , It's never too late to be all you can be possible．"
During the four years' study, it was so easy for Susan to make friends wherever she went．In the end, the wonderful woman got a college degree．

Do you want to know anything about ma staying in America? Well, Let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye－opening experience to study here．
In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade．However 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 hardworking 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．
