an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However didn"t know textbook
English was very different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
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 the US cultures.
To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan (晒黑). However, in China,
girls try every possible way to get their skin paler (白的).
I am also surprised by how hardworking the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything,
so we study hard all the time. But here, an "excellent" 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.

letters called acronyms. Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some of them are.
BTW (by the way)
BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud)

People also use many abbreviations (缩写), They are shortened forms of words. Some common
abbreviations are:
Info (information) purer (computer)
Pie (picture) sec (second)
We usually don"t see people when we communicate (交流) on the Net, so people have new ways to show
feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw"feeling". such as:
:-)( happy) :-p(joking) :-( (sad) :-0(surprised)
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example,
There are even whole new words, like "newbie"s" (someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
It takes time for people to get used to (适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special
ways of communicating. Newbie"s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internets grows, e-talk
will continue to grow and change.

It did not come with a card or note of any kind, but I loved the beauty and sweet smell of the flower.
And I never stopped imaging who the giver might be. My mother helped me to imagine. She"d ask me if
I had done something kind for anyone. Perhaps the neighbor I"d helped carry heavy bags for, or one of my
classmates who I helped the lessons with. As a teenager, though, I had more fun thinking that it might be a
boy I liked at school.

was a message on my mirror, "If we let sadness go, happiness will surely come to you." I thought about those
words for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right
again.
One month before I finished high school, my father left us forever. I lost interest in all the celebrating
activities such as the class play, taking photos with classmates before leaving the high school where I had

She wanted her child to have a sense that there was still beauty in the face of bad luck, just like the
gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect.
My mother died 10 days after I was married. I was 26. That was the year gardenias stopped coming.
