Entry 11: The Trip to Louisville by Gao Shenghan (Rena)

This journey to Louisville was extremely wonderful and colorful . I lived in the local family , and went to the American school , joined their classes and so on . Now , I'd like to say something about this trip.

The thing I like best in Louisville is the American class . It is much easier, happier, and more relaxed than the Chinese class . Students can even sit on the floor during the class, you know , this is forbidden in a Chinese class . The relationship between the teachers and students is also extremely nice . They are just like friends all the time (not only after class) .

The students have plenty of questions in the class , much more than the Chinese students' . This is good for keeping children's creative abilities . Of course , I also made friends with the American students . They were all very kind to me when I was in their class. That was them who made feel like I was at home and show me the American warmth to the exchange students. I learnt a lot from them and we got along very well.

Before I went to the America , I thought that all the Americans like eating hamburgers , French fries, ....just like the food in McDonald's. But when I was with my homestay family , I saw that they always eat healthy food like spaghetti. This is very different from what the America was like in my mind before. But all the others are quite the same, like the big houses, the great classes, the nice place...

 I told my Chinese friends that this trip was really wonderful , especially in Louisville. This little city is much smaller than Chengdu , but it is more beautiful and pleasant. There is even no traffic jam in Louisville. How nice it is! This city is a good place for study, too. Students here are more free, relaxes, creative and happier. I love this kind of study style so much !

 This trip for me is just like a dream, but it is real. I will never forget this wonderful time in the America. And I will study much harder , for one day I can come to the America, the dreadful land!
