Mr Smith teaches English in a university(大学). He is often very busy with work. When it’s summer or winter holidays, he goes out to take vacations to relax. Usually he goes to France because he thinks it’s an interesting country. And he can speak French very well.
But last month he said to his wife(妻子), “I’m not visiting France this time. I want to go to a different country. I choose Japan. But I can hardly speak Japanese, so I’m going to study it for a month before I go.”
He studied pretty hard for a month, and then his vacation started.
Ten days later, he came back. His wife asked him, “How about your short vacation in Japan? Did you have any trouble(麻烦) with your Japanese there?”
“No, I didn’t,” answered Mr Smith. “But the Japanese did!”
【小题1】Mr Smith goes out to ______ when it’s summer or winter holidays.

I dreamed of going to the USA when I was a middle school student. When I was in high school, I made up my   【小题1】  to go to America.
I wanted to study English and American culture. And I didn’t want to study in college in Japan at all. In Japan, it is very   【小题2】 to enter a famous college or university but easy to graduate, so students don’t study hard after they enter the college or university. This was one of the reasons why I came to America.
I came to America last September. I have been here for eight months. When I first came here, I was very surprised. There are many differences   【小题3】 Japan and America. I felt it was very strange and interesting.
I was also very upset because I heard English   【小题4】 . Whenever I watched TV, went shopping, or even   【小题5】  a walk, I heard only English. Everything was very hard for me because I could hardly understand English. Now I am used to hearing English and I can talk with Americans more easily,   【小题6】  things are getting better.
After I came here, I realized how much I love my family, how difficult it is to live by   【小题7】 , how exciting it is to live in another country, and how important it is to do   【小题8】  I want to do. If I didn’t come here, maybe I didn’t realize these things. This is the most important experience in my life. I’m going to stay here for about three years. I’ll never forget the life in the USA.
