　　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, 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．

　　I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco．I began to live in San Francisco when I was two．I began to live in London 25 years ago．If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London．But I will always be American．

　　San Francisco, like London, has many parks．Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children．I didn't go to school．I only had three hours of formal(正规的)education when I was five．I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day．I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything．My parents decided that school was not right for me and I never went back．

　　My mother then taught me and my two sisters, in the way of an English lady who had good education．We learned languages and read more than science and math．Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers．They asked us to take lessons every day．About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park．While we were walking, my mother taught me to read posters．One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it．I couldn't say my “r” when I was small．My mother said if I could say an “r” well, I would have the toy train．I usually get the things I want in life-but I work hard for them．
