I had a wish to go abroad for a very long time. Finally a good chance came.

Now I‟m studying in the USA. My wish comes true but I am not happy here. I

want to go back to China because I hate the food in the USA. People in the

USA eat a lot of bread. They also like fast food and fried chicken very much.

But I don‟t like such food. I like Chinese food. There are many different kinds of

food in China. They are all very delicious. So, I often go to the Chinese

restaurants in America. The food there is nice but it is very expensive. The

American people also like Chinese food very much.

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the

truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, 2 I didn‟t know how different textbook English could be from 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‟m 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(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler,

or “whiter”.

I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are.

In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that‟s it.

But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of 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.

You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police.

But have you ever heard of energy-saving(节能) policemen ?

A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing.

They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings,

shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure

that these sites have set their air conditioning(空调) no cooler than 26℃.
