　　Sunday 2nd July

　　It’s amazing that I can stand on the New York City now．I can hardly believe my eyes even if I see the famous Statue of Liberty．I come from Perth, a quiet town in Scotland, and I haven’t seen much of the world．Luckily I can be one of the exchanged program students．We can stay here for 2 weeks．I am really excited about the following weeks．But before I came to New York, my instructor told me some differences between the English we and they speak．I am a little bit nervous．

　　Monday 3rd July

　　I’m really tired of the difference．I woke up at 2 o’clock and went out to have some food and sat at a table．Oil the pavement－or sidewalk, as they call it here．I was happy to sit and watch people．Sometimes I can overhear some American accent．I entered a small coffee shop and ordered something to eat．But the problem is that I couldn’t understand the waitress’ New York accent and she couldn’t understand mine．Later, I got a hamburger with crisps but I wanted chips．Then I walked back to my hotel and went to my room, which I knew was on the first floor．But in America, they say first floor instead of ground floor so I went into the wrong room．I felt so embarrassed! That was the worst moment for me．I felt far away from home even though Americans and British speak the same language．I was like a foreigner．But the American woman who was in the room laughed and said she had had the same problem in England．

　　Sunday 16th July

　　How time flies! I still remember the first day I came to New York but now I must leave her．The embarrassment was gone when I got used to the life here．I met some many friends and took Dart in lots of activities．My American friends made a fuss of me(大惊小怪)and they said my accent was so cute．Yesterday we held a goodbye party in their International Student Center－that’s “centre” where I come from．I will miss you, New York．

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　No wonder English poses(构成)such a challenge to non-native speakers．This most global of languages has more words than any other, over 1 million according to the Global Language Monitor．Out of this number, the average American college student has mastered between 8,000-15,000．

　　Realizing that words are the building blocks of language, many Chinese students try hard to catch up．They make out long lists of words－often in alphabetical order－and simply memorize their definitions(释义)and Chinese meanings．

　　The bad news is that definition memorization does them little good when it comes to college entrance tests like the SATs．For these tests, a student needs to understand, not simply parrot words studied．

　　The good news is that there are better ways to build an academic English vocabulary．

　　Vocabulary learning system

　　The first thing to do is to develop an organized, but easy means of collecting and learning new words．We recommend a card system that includes the following information：

　　Word－Simple Definition in English－Phrase or Sentence－Related Words－Synonyms(同义词)and Antonyms(反义词)－with a Chinese translation on the reverse(背面)of the card．

　　The advantage of this system is that with a single card, a student can learn not just one word but a group of related words．

　　Keep your cards on a detachable(可分离的)metal ring, so you can carry them around and add to your collection daily．

　　My dear son,

　　The day when you see me old and I am already not young, have patience and try to understand me…If I get dirty when eating…if I cannot dress…have patience．Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you．If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things one thousand and one times…do not interrupt me…listen to me．When you were small, I had to read to you one thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep…When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me…Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath…When you see my ignorance on new technologies…give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile…I taught you how to do so many things…to eat good, to dress well…to confront life…When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation…let me have the necessary time to remember…and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous…as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…
