Until now we have been here for 3 weeks which means a quarter of our whole journey, but my things is still fire-new to us one of which is cooking.
At first most of our stomachs were filled with many kinds of fast food like Burger King, Arbey's and so on which we have never seen before but is really tasty and fresh to our Chinese. Many of us even found that every restaurant's fries can be as appetizing as mcdonald's same product or even better. Even though, we are born in a different culture which has lots of difference included food of course. So that's why we can not rely on fast food all day and determine to cook a Chinese dinner for ourselves to get the feeling of hometown back.
This weekend we confidently started a process of cooking with materials buying from a Chinese supermarket. But for the first dish we became confused because of none of us have done this before which made me start to find how weak we are leaving our parents and set my mind to improve myself to be a man who can make his living. Although we are not good at cooking but we are not stupid, after comparing many different ways of making that dish on the Internet we finally draw a conclusion to follow one easiest method. What's more, all three dishes we made are all follow this procedure--First ,searching on the Internet; Second, talk to decide which is viable with so little material we have; Third, I cut the vegetable and meet in pieces; At last we put all of them in the pool and waiting for the naissance of our production.
Which is lucky that all of them taste good and give us confident to improve them and do a cooking next time. I think none of us can forget that interesting and challenging dinner.

4. My favorite season
Energetic Spring - my favorite season
I can never forget the spring in my hometown-----it's a time for new life with flourished flowers green built on every leaves that make the land to be a green carpet. Covered by the sun and hearing the singing of the birds you can feel the warmness and beauty which lost in the winter time. When I was young every time spring came, my mother will took me walking to the seaside an to fly kite. There is nothing else can be more convenient than facing the large sea and feeling the warm wind blow across your face and your body. I run as fast as a little child can to let the kite fly but most time it twisted and fell down which let me upset but with the encourage of mother and her bovine teaching the kite will always fly high in the sky at last. There are lots of other things I did in spring like having trip with my friends, playing soccer...But this is the most impressive memory that deeply marked in my mind

3. Life with English
Today I got my English placement text score. The low score 73 reminded me again about my poor English ability that I have already forgotten as I adjusted myself into here's life smoothly.
I can also remember the first time I come to this fascinating and beautiful place I'm full of energy but the first thing embarrassed me is on the day I arrive I even can not to let the fast food seller know what I need only in language. It sounds ridiculous but still be a impressive memory in my trip here. But now I can not only order my food clearly but also talk with a American people formally that is really a great improvement to me. All this positive change makes me ignore some little issues in my daily life like the lost information of which professor and TA says on the class, large quantities of words I do not know the meaning of them... So that's why I recognized and have such kind of feeling now.
After serious scanning on my two weeks life I found these two reasons which led to this. First is that all my roommates are Chinese and most of the time I only used Chinese to communicate with others so that I spend little time on English speaking. Another is that do not accumulate enough English knowledge in my study before that can not make me feet to a English speaking atmosphere very quickly. I can not get solution to these two problems and nothing come to my mind about how to solve them in a flash, But as I say before I am confident about myself not only about the life here but also the ability for adjusting to the new environment so I'm sure I can make it!

2.Confusing
This is the second week I come to this beautiful city, I have tasted lots of American kinds of food,I also have gone around to see the beautiful and energetic campus, lots of new things and foreign people got into my head which made me hard to remember every thing of them although I checked them before I sleep in the midnight every day.
But I face a big problem that everyone may has that I can not adjusted to the new kinds of study. First two weeks I made lots of mistakes about when to have class and which was the due date about the homework. In my own points of view, I think all these issues have a same origin which is the poor ability of my English especially at the reading part. Now I only find little details to come over them, but I am still confidential about my study life here. Although recent study I still have a lot after class questions to my classmates which even related to the assignment, I'm more familiar with the study system of each class and can have a over view of them. So as a conclusion, I exactly need to get more help from teacher, but I really determine to over come it by myself because difficulty is also a part of life which we should enjoy it and learn some thing from it instead of having a negative emotion on it.
