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. Ho wever, 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.
ing to
the writer, textbook English is _________everyday
English.
A. quite different from
B. the
same as

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 houses rather than
flats, and
many people 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 usually loved.
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 head. I had invaded(侵犯his
space! A few minutes later I took
my papers off his case in order 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 th ey 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?

to London because______.
A. he had no place to
sit
B. someone had invaded his ―space‖

too many people shared a section with him

some other people talked about things he didn‘t

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 turned 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 said 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 that I would
begin hugging you.‖
In my f amily 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.
