Of course I learned some skills and also experienced American culture. Well, what I knew about American culture was a combo of the world. Most of the American students were outgoing, they go to parties at weekend, so they like to make new relationships for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most bring me in is how they knew or negotiate. Most of them start to talk to a new person by a recommend from others. It is completely different than what we do. And there is one of my examples. One day I finished my dinner with my Chinese friend, and there was an American came over his name was Hank. He said he wanna try out the Chinese food, we are sure about it. Later on, there was another came to pass us, so Hank said: \u201cYooo! Check out my new Chinese friends, they let me try out their Chinese foods!\u201d Later we had a big talk about China and the USA, so we become friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Friends are not the only thing in college life, you have to study hard too. There is an example from me: I had a class called 205 E, it was about the American Culture, it might seem easy, but the answer is NO, you have to read a lot of articles to receive more information, so one day after school I spend all night long to read an article. So I received headache the second day, it hurts my brain and I could barely focus on my classes, but when I was in the 205 E class I could understand more what teacher was telling me. It is a strange style of study than China,&nbsp; but I go over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> In the end, I want to say it is important to change yourself from before, and it helps a lot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Luckly Li | ACE | Class of 2023Academic Term of Essay Subject: Fall 2019 I had been in America for almost 4 years and I just moved to Miami University for about three months.
