Really?Have you ever heard about my school?But to tell you the truth ,my school ranks low in China,let alone the world.Even so , I love my school.I'm glad you heard good things rather than bad.

Georgia!Atlantic!Right?I know it is a wonderful place!I googled it and saw your school!Pretty cool!

Yes,I'm studying English and I like it.Actually,I don't know what kind of help do I need.
I'm just trying to learn anything about foreign life.Anything is OK,for example,something about your school(classes,spare time,etc),something about your local custom,whatever!I'm eager to learn about America.

And how about you?Can you speak Chinese now?这些字能看懂吗？And tell me how can I help.I promise I will do my best!

Hey! yeah, If I remember right...I've heard about your school from student exchange programs. I'm glad you're proud of your school despite what its ranked thats cool.

Yeah, Georgia is on the Atlantic coast. haha Thanks! My school is in Atlanta. I love it there.

hmm, well to answer your questions, I'm only taking one class right now because I have to save money for school. Next semester I'll take a normal load of classes. Many students work their own way through college because their parents can't afford it. Other americans are much more wealthy and their parents can help.

In my spare time I like to go to shows (music venues) and watch locals and sometimes famous bands play. There's lots of underground music here.

Afterwards, we usually go out to eat or hang out at each others houses. I also like reading and making art too.

Lastly, I work part time at a bakery. We make bread and all kinds of sweets from scratch. We also make really good sandwiches It's a really fun job. Everyone's like family.

What about you? Tell me about life in China.

As for Mandarin, I can barely read it. I've only been learning for a month. But, does that say something along the lines of...."Can you read this?"

I'm just curious about chinese culture and language.
I don't just want to learn about the proper way to say things but also how people talk with friends and family.
I want to know what your parents taught you was the most important things. I want to know what China collectively honors that foreigners dont always realize because our culture is different.

I've tried to reply early , but I have so many works to do these days and writing in English is a bit time-consuming ,I have to think about it and translate it . How I wish I could use English much more skillfully!

I have heard about the tuition in America and knew it is much higher than that in China .It is about only 1000 dallars per year here in my school .You say you are working in a bakery ?That's cool! I ever worked the same way! I made mooncakes and brought some for my friends ,they said the mooncakes I made were very delicious !haha...and I know how is bread produced .Do you know mooncake ?It may only exist in Chinese culture .

Actually ,I envy that an American student can work their own way through college and pay the tuition by all by themselves .I wish I can work part time like you ,but it seems unrealistic because there are much much more students than jobs .What's more ,a Chinese student ,at least for me ,have many courses to learn .I may feel hard in school work if I work part time .I have to get high grades in school so that I can find a good job after graduation .The competition in China is severe due to the large population .So for my classmates ,most spare time is used for homework ,and some for sports or other things .As for me ,except for studying ,I often surf the net ,chat with friends ,and sometimes hang out for dinners or go to KTV .There are also some activities in class ,like a small party or a trip to a park .I like music too but not that professional ,I just like to feel what the songs tells us  .I'm sure to go to the shows you mentioned if I got a chance !

You say you are curious about Chinese culture and language .Chinese culture is so complicated for me .I can't say I know it very well ,but I'm sure I know a little more than you ,haha...so tell me which area you want to learn and I will tell you all I know !As for the language ,my English teacher ever joked .She said "Chinese is the hardest language in the world and you are lucky to born in China."But I don't think it is that hard ,just do what the teacher tells you to do .If I think out a better way to learn Chinese ,I will let you know !If you want to know how  people talk with friends and family ,you'd better watch some Chinese movies or series .There are also many dialects and  some of them are very interesting but I don't know how to tell you in English ,how I wish you were able to speak Chinese right now !

What is the most important thing ?It is a real question .My parents taught me to be sincere to everyone ,to be brave to fulfill my goals ,to do something for the collective ,and many many things .It is just what Chinese culture tells us .I am trying to be in line with that .
We Chinese honor a brilliant history and culture most .We honor the heros showing pariotism and strong will .I don't know if you are satisfied with my answers .Actually it is hard to answer .Can you tell me something about this ?

By the way ,do you have an email ? Mine is kaelee90@yahoo.com.hk .I don't browse the web everyday but I will check the email .You are the first foreigner I get in touch with and I want to treasure.Expect your letter!

那些汉字你说对了！加油！You can make it !
