Hi ,   my name is Wang Jun. Do you want to know about my staying in America ? Well ,   to tell you the truth , it is really an eye-opening⁽⁴⁾experience   here .

In   China , I had English classes five times a week since⁽⁵⁾ Grade Five . But I didn't know textbook English   could be so different from everyday English until I came 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 the USA , I found   that people say " 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 .

Since⁽⁵⁾ then , I have learnt more   and more differences between Chinese and American cultures . To my surprise ,   American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun getting a tan⁽⁶⁾ . In China , girls try every possible way to keep   their skin white .

American   students are hard-working⁽⁷⁾ like Chinese students . In   China , schoolwork⁽⁸⁾ is almost everything , so   we study hard⁽⁹⁾ and that's it . But here ,   a " good " student not only gets good grades , but also does a lot   for the public . That is to say , they get lots of knowledge at school   and learn many life skills from social work .
