| You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience 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, Conmecticut. 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 US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter." I also surprised by how hard-working. US students are .In China, schoolwork is almost everything ,so we study hard and that" it. But here a "good" 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. | ||||||

| People often say that the Englishman"s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in  Britain live in hous es rather than flats, and manypeople own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and  the garden is usuallyloved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的)space of the individual. People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own. Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communications o I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his h  ead. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case inorder to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me! If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don"t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and "outside". Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don"t know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven"t you enjoyed being part of a group and "owning" a bit of space? | ||||||

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic tur ned to saying "I love you". I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers sa id it to them. "Does your mom love you?" "Of course "they answered. "How do you know? "was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned. So mon"s cooking and criticzing read out as "I love you ". "Then how do you say "I love you "to her?" They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their  love. I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, "Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and tha  t I would begin hugging you. "In my family we all say "I love you" a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we  say to or hear from those we love. | ||||||

| Some years ago I worked with people on public welfare. I believed that everybody had the ability to be 1 and all we have to do was to make them start working. The first thing I said to them was, "I would like to know what your 2 are." Everyone looked at me as if I were 3 . One woman said "I don"t know what you can 4 with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids." I said. "That"s terrible. You are very much 5 with the rats and your kids. How can we help?" " I could use a new screen door(纱门)because there are 6 in the old." I asked, "Is there anybody knowing 7 to fix it?" A man said, "Long ago I used to do things like that but now I have a bad back, but I"ll 8 ." I gave him some money to do that. The next week, when the group was 9 , I asked the woman, "Well, is your 10 door fixed?" "Oh, yes," she said. "Then we can start dreaming, right?" She 11 at me. I asked the man, "How do you feel?" He said, "Well, it"s funny that I"m beginning to feel a lot 12 ." These seemingly small 13 allowed the group to see that dreams were not stupid. One woman 14 that she wanted to be a secretary. I said, " What 15 in your way?" She answered, "I have six kids, and no one can 16 them while I"m away." I asked "Who would help this woman while she gets some 17 at school?" Another woman said "I got kids, too, but I could do that." So the woman went to school. In 12 weeks these people were 18 public welfare. The woman who 19 the children became a licensed foster care (代别人照看孩子)person. The man became a handyman. I"ve not only done that 20 , I"ve done it many times. | ||||||
