 * My feeling about the differences between China and U.S.**
 * //By Chao Ning//**

It’s hard for me to change the language, which I spoke for about 20 years. I learned English since the Middle School. Even though I was learning English for about 10 years, but the English class in China is just like a kind of course, we don’t learning English as a communication tool, we learn that just for pass the exam, and we use Chinese even during the English class. So there is no place to practice. Most of us transfer Chinese into English; we cannot think in English way. After I came here, I don’t talk too much with people cause I cannot transfer Chinese into English immediately like chatting with somebody else, so it’s hard for me. But I started to change gradually. The first impression I came here, I flied from Shanghai to Los Angles, after I came out from the plan, I suddenly found that everything was different, and I was scared, I just can understood the key words when people talked to me. The lucky is my aunt in living in San Diego, but I still feel that here is not my home, The hardest part for me to learn English is the tense, and grammar. Chinese has no tense about words, and grammar I think is more simply.
