Do you want to know about my staying in America? It was really an eye-opening experience. In China, I had English classes five times a week. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English was from daily English until I went to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say “I’m fine” when people say “How are you?” But in America, I found that people said “I’m 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.
To my surprise, American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin whiter. I’m also surprised by how hard-working American students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard. But in America, a good student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

I set up my speaker and my microphone (话筒) and then began walking into different kinds of , because I didn’t know which room was right me. I just wanted to find a native （本地的）English speaker to talk to, I failed(失败).Several days later, I went online again and an English speaking room. I hoped this room would become a good place for learners. The third time, I stayed in my room, and several people entered it. There were two native English speakers. One was from the UK, and the other was from Australia. It was too because neither of them had a microphone.
couldn’t speak to us but just typed words so our conversation went on . However, I learned a lot from that conversation. I thought I have known a lot about English, but the fact is that I still have a way to go. I will work harder.
