22、   My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said," Get up. You're going with me to cut the grass in the garden."

The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business(生意) made me feel proud and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got for my work that day.

One day, my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. "Take away these leaves!" said seriously, "and don't make me have to tell you to do it again." The message was clear. Today I value it, which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象)the person you are working for.

After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life .Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.

In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didn't matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and it better and better .One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. "If you only think about hard work and money,   ▲ ”, I answered.

In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I've learned much. I've learned something that helps me in my next job.

23、Do you want to know anything about my staying in America? Well, let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye－opening experience to study here.

In China, I have had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However, I didn't know textbook English was very different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

When I first studied English, I was told to say “I am fine.” when people say “How are you？” But in the US, I found that people say “I am good.” or “I am tired.”

One day, someone greeted me with “What's up？” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and  the US cultures. To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler(白的)．

I am also surprised by how hard－working the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time. But here, an “excellent” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented. I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
