Beijing West Railway Station is the biggest railway station I have ever seen．I once joked, "You will never know how many people there are in China unless you go to Beijing West Railway Station．"
I usually bought hard - berth （硬卧） tickets when I traveled by tram in China．The first thing I noticed is that Chinese berths are much smaller than those in other countries．Though I had to crouch on the berth, I could still manage to sleep on it, as I'm not that tall．
China's trains operate efficiently．The work is distributed well among the attendants and trains depart punctually．The friendly nature of the Chinese passengers turns a trip on the train into a big family gathering, and they often share their food with other passengers．Foreigners, on the other hand, will say "hi" to each other, but rarely go further than that．On Chinese trains, I often saw such a funny ritual: old couples would argue about whether they should put their luggage on or under the rack; young people would begin to fiddle with their mobile phones as soon as they were settled in their seats．
I like traveling by train in China because it is cheap, safe and comfortable．In India and Spain, people are always knocking off the metal parts of the train to sell them for money．Bit by bit, the train is destroyed．That's why there are signs on the train, warning, "Stop stealing the train" ! There are signs on Dutch and French trains which read " No Sticking" to stop people from sticking pictures on the trains．On the other hand, on Chinese trains you can find signs like this, "Welcome to take our train．"

| Most people who travel from China to the US find that, despite having studied English for years, they have to "re-learn" it 1 arriving. Words that we learned in English classes are not 2 the same way here. To truly be part of the "melting pot", 3 in English is not enough. You need an accent to stand out. When I first came to the US for graduate school, I was a 4 foreigner. I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was " 5 ". To talk like an American became one of my goals. During my first term as a teaching assistant (TA), my students 6 they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was 7 among US students with an international TA. It is called the "Oh, no!" syndrome (综合征):"Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that 8 again!" So I imitated (模仿) the way 9 speakers talk and, over time, I made 10 good progress that American friends started to 11 my English as having "almost no accent". I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often 12 me for someone from many 13 : the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most frequently, people think I am from California. But then suddenly, conformity (一致) was 14 a praise: If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent, do I also lose my cultural identity? Am I denying my past by being 15 into a new culture? Now I 16 that a person's accent is a permanent record of their past cultural experience and it is a 17 of one's exposure to diverse cultures. As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been 18 by a desire to hold on to my cultural 19 . Now I consciously add some Chinese "accent" when I speak. I do not wish to speak " 20 " English because I am proud of who I am. | ||||
