Do you want to know anything about staying in America? Well, Let me 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 the fifth grade. However didn’t know textbook English was very different 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 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 the US cultures. To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan （曬黑）. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler（白的）.

I am also surprised by how hardworking the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time. But here, an “excellent” 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.

The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter. One day the man punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper(一卷金色包裝紙).

Money was tight(緊) and he became angry when the child tried to decorate(裝飾) a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless(盡管如此), the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction(過度反應)，but he was angry again when he found out the box was empty. He shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a gift, there is supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears(眼淚) in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”

The father was surprised. He put his arm around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness(懇求她的原諒).
