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 fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different between textbook English and 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(困惑的). 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 possib le way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.”I also surprised by how hard-working. 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 playssports or music.The kids here are so talented, I feel sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.31.
