I arrived in New York two weeks ago. I am writing my diary in English because my English teacher Rachel says it is a good way to practice English. So far, I like New York and my school. I have three classes a day. Most of my classmates come from Japan, South Korea, Spain, Germany and Australia. There aren’t many Chinese students, so I have to use English most of the time. I am learning a lot! I am living in student housing, and I have my own comfortable room.

My English is hopeless! I was on the bus this morning and a man spoke to me, but I hardly understood him. I was very sad. Why is my English improving so slowly? I want to make lots of American friends, but this isn’t happening so easily. I’m a shy girl. It is hard for me to talk to some people, even my classmates! I like them, but sometimes I can’t understand them very well. I miss my friends and family. I want to go home in December.

【推荐1】When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though they worked so hard, the production(产量) of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about our difficulties, and later, a canal project(灌溉工程) began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Then, I moved to another city for my junior high school. During one summer holiday, I came back to my hometown with my parents. When we arrived there, we were surprised because everything changed. We saw the canal ran through every orchard. And my grandma told us that after the canal project was completed, villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill to carry water anymore. And more and more people start planting fruit and the production increased a lot.
Thanks to the government’s canal project, it makes the development of our countryside better. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometown. That is where we are from.

【推荐2】Jessica and Ellen were having fun at the park near their home. It was a hot summer day. They loved the feeling of the air on their faces when they were running. After a little while, they wanted to have a rest. Their mum gave the twins some money to get a summer treat at the park’s snack shop.
“What are you getting? ” asked Jessica. “I want an orange popsicle（冰棒）. That’s my favourite kind.” answered Ellen. The girls bought two popsicles and went home happily.
They wanted to know who made the first popsicle, so they asked their mom. “ Oh, the first popsicle was made by a boy just about your age. He was eleven. He mixed juice and water together and put it on the table outside the house. He forgot to bring his drink into the house and it froze because it was really cold outside. That’s how the first popsicle was made. Later the boy made more and sold them to the neighbors. When he grew up, he started a popsicle factory.”
