Tuesday, September 13

I arrived in New York two weeks ago. I am writing my diary in English because my English teacher Rachel says it is a good way to practice English. So far, I like New York and my school. I have three classes a day. Most of my classmates come from Japan, South Korea, Spain, Germany and Australia. There aren't many Chinese students, so I have to use English most of the time. I am learning a lot! I am living in student housing, and I have my own comfortable room.

Thursday, October 20

My English is hopeless! I was on the bus this morning and a man spoke to me, but I hardly understood him. I was so embarrassed (尴尬的). Why is my English improving so slowly? I want to make lots of American friends, but this isn't happening so easily. I'm a shy girl. It is hard for me to talk to some people, even my classmates! I like them, but sometimes I can't understand them very well. I think I'm feeling homesick (想家的). I miss my friends and family.

Thursday, October 27

I went to a school party last Friday and it was great. I talked with a Japanese boy named Kenji, a German girl named Wendy and an Italian girl named Carla.

Anna: My parents have kept lots of pets since I was little. We've experienced many things together, good and bad, happy and sad. Those stories have always stayed in my mind. One day, I will share them with others by drawing and writing books. Billy: Though my mom and two sisters are all doctors, I'm sure I will stay as far away from a hospital as I can.

The Meeting
