I have been to the United States for 4 years from China. Now, I have adopted American life, so I always compare my American life and Chinese life. I like American, but I think my Chinese life is more fun, and relax.
In America, I feel very lonely because work is very important because money is extremely important. Everyone has to work. I can’t meet my friends often. The society is faster than Chinese society. We don’t have same schedule for day off, so it is very hard to spend time with my friends. Moreover, I can’t meet my girl friend even just twice a week because of our jobs. In contrast, in china, I hang out with my friends almost twice a week, and I can meet my girl friend every day. We had a lot of fun together, such as camping, play soccer and eating outside.
American life is full of pressures, such as living pressure and working pressure. As a resident, I have to pay my car, rent, and living expenses, so I have to work forty hours a week.but in China, i don't have spend any money on cars or rent because i don't need a car and I have a house there. I can’t take many classes in college because it costs too much. On my work, I always fear that my boss can fire me, so I try my best to work well. in contrast, in China, money is less important than America, so i didn't worry about it too much. There are many free services, such as free nine years education and free medical because it is a socielist country. In America,sometimes, they changed my schedule which I don’t like, but I have to follow the new one.
I think I will go back to china in 5 years because I really want to have my real life.

sushi
Sushi has already become a very popular good in the United States. A lot of people eat it in many Japanese restaurants, and now, they can easily buy it at many super markets, such as Publix and Kroger. People love sushi because it has two special good characteristics, healthy and artistic quality.
Sushi is very healthy food. There is no meat in any sushi rolls, and raw fish brings a lot of low fat nutrition to eaters. For example, if you eat raw yellowtail fish. It is same as you eat Omega 3. A lot of people who are on diet and don’t want to be hungry eat sushi. In addition, sushi rice is made with sushi vinegar which is also healthy food.
Sushi is an artistic quality food. In Japan, normally, to become a sushi chief, people need spend fifteen years to study. Different parts of fish have different features, so sushi chief can cut different parts of fish to make different sushi. For instance, people love beautiful sushi boat which includes not only many different fish but also many chief’s presentation, such as beautiful orange cut and ice carve. Many people order sushi because it looks really artistic.
Sushi is really good food because it is healthy, and it has artistic quality. But it has a big disadvantage which is very expensive, so before you buy or go to sushi restaurant, make sure your money is enough!!

is it too much?
“Hi! Could you work on Sunday night?” my boss asked to the new sushi chief who just got his job here. “Oh. No! I have to go to church on Sunday.” He answered. And then, my boss was looking at me for 2 minutes, I knew his means, and I have same thought as his. I continued to ask him, “Why?” “God needs me on Sunday!” he said. “God needs me too! But he wants me to work and contribute to the society, and he said your work place needs you!” I said.
You may feel unusual, but it happens. I respect to every religion, but it is too much! I don’t know why people believe god, and they must go to church every Sunday. It is two completely different events. Now, a lot of people go to church every week, but I think some church just guide people to a wrong way or they want to tie more and more people in their church. It is not a business because it is pure religion. I don’t know what happened to my work partner, but I seriously think something wrong.
“If everybody goes to church every Sunday, every store and restaurant should close right?” I said to my cow worker. “Yes!” he said. My boss and I laughed.

critical thinking
How many people think North Korea is a bad country? How many people think China is an enemy country which is challenging the United States? How many American people support the opinion about “free Tibet”? Answer is a lot of American people. Do they really know these countries? Or they really know other countries’ issues? The answer is no. Some people who say everybody should support Tibet of freedom don’t know where Tibet is at all. These sounds fanny, but it really reflects power of media, so having critical thinking is very important.
People watch TV and get online every day, so media’s opinions lead or change the public. Most people strongly believe that, and they always loose critical thinking of news. How many people think CNN has strong bias of news? A lot of people just follow and believe what mass media want them to believe. For example, Chinese “birth control”, many American people argue that, but they don’t know if China doesn’t do that, and many live people will die by hanger. it is a challenge for human rights, but if people died, where and how people can have human rights.
Critical thinking is important because people should correctly think and believe what they get information.

failure
People face fail and success all the time. Most people like success because it brings confidence and glory to them, and they think success is better teacher. But failure can also teach people, and it is better teacher than success because it teaches people deeply in their lives, such as relationship, school, and work.
Failure is a better teacher on people’s relationship. Not only love relationship but also friendship, failure teaches people how to love others and how to be a friend with others. For example, in every failure love relationship, both people learned from it because failure brings more experience, and it tells both people where was wrong or where they had to overcome, so in next love, people know how to do right things.
Failure is a better teacher in school. A lot of students like failure than success because it really can help them find their study shortages. Exam is the best example that failure is a better teacher. Usually, teachers and students look for mistakes (failure) to find where they need to prove, so both of them can learn where should teach more and where should study more.
Failure is better teacher in work. It is similar as school life, during work, people learn more from failure, not from success. For example, if people succeed from their work, they can’t recognize that every step they made is correct because the result is success. But failure can help them to find more detail. Like where, when, and which mistakes are they made, so they can learn and prove their mistakes.
In conclusion, people should like failure because it is better teacher than success. It teaches deeply in our relationships, school, and work.

modern technology
Modern technology develops very fast today. Such as car, computer, and family equipment change or upgrade every year. A lot of people really enjoy it because modern technology brings many convenience advantages to them. But modern technology can produce more inconvenience than convenience in our daily life, school life, especially elders’ life.
In our daily life, a lot of people drive modern technology cars. Like Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW. These cars have very high technology system, such as security system, but a lot of inconvenience problem come from that and drive people crazy. For example, if a car owner lost his only key, the high technology car will automatically shut down the inside system, so owner can’t open it easily. The owner has to call car dealer for help, and they will send a mechanic to help him. It takes too long, and the car owner has to wait for all troubles fixed.
In school, many courses are high tech classes, so computer is the necessary study tool for every student, and some classes professor require their students using high technology computer program to do some projects, such as calculus. For example, a program is called “Mathmatica” really confused me to finish my calculus project, so I got a “B” in my final grade.
In elders’ lives, modern technology confuses them all the time. Many elders can’t learn to use computer, special tool, and some equipment, so they can’t live very well. It makes old people think they are out of the society. For example, many elders don’t know how to use check out machine, so they have to call another for help.
We live in a modern technology society now. It gives us a lot of convenience and save more time for us, but it can produce more inconvenience also in our daily lives, school life, and elders’ life.
