My 2017 US TOUR

  I’ve waited for this chance for so long that I’ve been so excited for three months just because I could visit America. I really want to visit America,to learn about its colorful but diverse culture and to satisfy myself.

  Harvard University,MIT in Boston,the Statue of Liberty and Wall Street in New York,the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia,the White House in Washington,Universal Studios in L.A. … …

  We enjoyed ourselves visiting those famous places of interest. We walked through the busy streets and quiet alleys;we talked to some lovely people;we were excited about some beautiful gadgets;we took lots of pictures about buildings or close friends;we might get together to talk about handsome boys or pretty girls.We wanted to put everything in our camera if we could and no one wanted to miss something,because it’s our first short stay in America.

  We still learned a lot while having fun.We learned how to express ourselves and to try to be brave;we learned that we should take care of ourselves because our parents can’t always be with us.

  After one-week having fun in the eastern states of the US,we went to study in Village Academy High School in the west with excitement and tension.But before going to study in Village Academy High School,we had to meet our host families.My new parents are very nice.Mom would never let us feel hungry,and the food she made was so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating each time, and my host family did really make me feel like at home and helped me a lot.They wouldn’t laugh at me even when I couldn’t say something clearly ,instead,they encouraged you to say what I wanted to say,and they would listen to me carefully, which really made me feel more confident.

  When I first knew we would study with American students,I was feeling a bit more nervous.“Are the teachers nice and kind?Are the students friendly?Will I study well?……”I asked myself a lot,but I just gave it a shot,and it turned out pretty fine.There was no need for me to worry about it.Teachers there were patient,students were enthusiastic and courses were interesting.I had never played the guitar before,but after five days I could play some chords and played a song with others in front of the audience.

  That's learning.You think you can’t do something,but if you just give it a shot,maybe there is nothing you can’t do!Challenge yourself or you will never succeed.

  I thought it was easy to say goodbye ,but when that day came,I found it so hard to say it.

  All those famous places of interest,meaningful learning in the foreign school,the colorful aspects of the United States made me realize that I still have so many things to explore.I have seen different energetic faces from different schools,filled with excitement with the future and curiosity about the unknown world.Therefore,this experience in summer is just a beginning.

  I won’t say goodbye because after this beginning ,I have a long time to say a big“Hello” to the world, to my dream and to my future!Please wait for me,the whole world.
