What My Accent
Doesn’t Tell You
I have been in the United States for two years. I live with my
aunt’s family. They are very nice to me. I like to live
with them. I haven’t seen my parents since leaving my hometown.
I really miss them. We communicate with each other by phone. They
always tell me to study hard. They want me to get a good education
and a better life. English is my second language, and it is difficult
to learn. In my free time, I like to read books and watch TV at
home. I enjoy stories that have a happy ending. Also I like to
listen to music. It makes me feel comfortable. And I work on the
weekend, so I have to do my homework at night. I always go to
bed until 1 o’clock. I feel tired at the weekend. Although
life is hard in the United States, I never think to go back to
China because I haven’t done the things I want to do. The
education of China and the United States is totally different.
I have a goal to be a lawyer. So I don’t want to give up
studying. Studying is important to me and it could influence my
future.
I go to the International High School.
I have many friends in this school. We always play together. I
have a lot of fun with them. I really like to stay with them.
Teachers all treat me nicely. They help me a lot. They teach me
how to study English well. When I have a difficult problem, they
always explain it to me carefully. My English is gradually improving
with their help. I also have an opportunity to take a college
class. It is good for me to learn more things. I had practiced
speech many times in the class. I get some experiences to make
my speech well. I am happy that I study in this class. This is
about my life in the United States. The life is nothing special,
I am satisfied with my life in the United States
