Do you like roosters? A rooster looks like a map of China. Rooster is the tenth of Chinese 12 zodiac signs(生肖). 2017 is the Year of the Rooster. It’s from Jan. 28, 2017 (Chinese New Year) to Feb. 15, 2018. The Years of the Rooster have 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029...

You want to know about my staying in America ,right ? Well ,to tell you the truth ,it is really an eye-opening experience to study here .
In China ,I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade .However ,I didn’t know how different textbook English could be 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’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 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(晒黑).However , in China ,girls try every possible way to get their skin(皮肤) paler(白皙的) , or“whiter”.
I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are .
In China ,schoolwork is almost everything ,so we study hard and that’s 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(有才能的) ,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 .

Another tea-drinking country is England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. If you are a friend of the family, you may drop in for tea without an invitation or telling that you are coming. Very often it is not served at a table. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes and cookies at tea time. This is so—called “afternoon tea”in England.
In America , people drink tea mostly at breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make tea. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea—“iced tea.” Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.
