My First Three Weeks Here

By Yu Lan (442)

I have been in American for three weeks now, before I came here, I had many imagine about what was American like. But after I came, I found so different with my imagine. Here is a very quiet place to live, it's make me relax and comfortable.

I have only 4 classes one day, is too less than China. The classmates are very friendly, and teachers are both very good. Sometimes I don't understand what the teacher say in class, so I must study English hard. After class, I always talk to may Chinese friend and play card, It's make us very happy. After all, we are from the same place, and we have same subject of a talk. Talk with the other countries student in English is hard for me at first, but I will try my best to do it, bacause this is my purpose to come here.

The transportation in here is not convenient, it's not easy to go here and there, so I feel gloomy. Sometime I think whether I need buy a car, but I don't konw how to drive and have no time to learn it. I really don't like always stay at dormitory, it's boring. When I stay at dormitory alone, I will imagine if I'm being in China, I can do anything I want, but I'm in American now. At that time, I will miss my country and parents so much.

I hope I can dapt to American life soon and learn to independent!

Hi Lan, There is a sentence in my country, "If you have no car in American, you'll like a women lose her feet."

I propose you to learning how to drive and get a car if you'll stay here for a long time.

This is my first time came to American too. Many things we have the same opinion, I think, time will resolve this problem and we just do the best for our self, don't worry too much right!

Everyone in our class are very kind, we may have a good studies in here.
