Question

【题目】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.
