Week 3
It was so interesting for me to read about the surprising things you found about living here and interacting with Americans. I'm glad that most of them have been surprising in a good way and not a bad way! Our next paragraph will be a narrative paragraph. That's a paragraph that tells a story. For this week, tell us a short story about something that happened to you the first or second day that you were in the United States.

When I was first day in the United States, I was so sleepy. It was jetlag. After sleeping I was hungry. I went to a restaurant, I made some mistakes. It was different from Korea restaurant. When I went to restaurant in the United States at first, I sat any empaty seat. Waiter was embarrassed, but he didn't appaear his feeling. My weird behavior continued. The restaurant in the United States has a private table waiter, but the restaurant in Korea doesn't have my waiter. I called any waiter loudly. Now, I look back into the past, It is a deep distrace. However, waiter was so kind and he explained me to the restaurant manner. Thanks to him, I did well. I didn't know how much I pay a tip, and a waiter informed me of how to calculate a tip. I pleased that I knew the new information of the United States.

ReplyDeleteI arrived in the U.S. on March 28th. I was famished. So I said "Dad!! Let's have a big dinner!!" After, we are went to TGIF restaurant. I like to eat out. I went to T.G.I.F every weekend in Korea. I usually invites my family and friend. Also I had a part time jod in TGIF restaurant during seven months. I want to know a point of differance from Korea TGIF to America TGIF. I heard America TGIF is not good. But I was so satisfy to food and waiter service. There is little difference between Korea and America. Finally, I will enjoy their meal.
ReplyDeleteWhen I arrived the San Francisco airport, I wanted to leave the airport, but I look for a wrong road to leave. The worker whom in the airport didn't let me through the way and speak to me loudly. I were very afraid and I thought whether I had mistake, later another worker showed me the way to leave. I think it was lucky. Then I went to my homestay and put in the baggage. After that I went to sleep until evening. The first day was tired and busy day.
ReplyDeleteActully, I didn't have special memory first day. my relatives always busy because of their business, so I almost spent time staying home all days. Second day, I went out alone to look around my town. I walked on the street.
ReplyDeleteAt that time, I remembered it was very hot.
When I passed bus stop, a older woman suddenly said to me. She said,'do you have 2$?' First I didn't understand what she say as I embarssed unexpecting happening. And then, I said, ye? She told same words. I answered, I put my purse my house. It was first time what I talked with American. HAHA
The first day i came in here. i am not have special event. but i remember that day i am in the airport. They are worker asked me to open the baggage. but i don't understand. i think that day is luck day, they are find the person can speak chinese. He tell me don't worry. they just work. but i am afraid too. because i am first day to different country no parents.
ReplyDeleteI still remember first day in the United States. I arrived the San Francisco airport. It was Sunday night…that felt both hectic and lonely. My friend’s sister told me she would pick up me at airport. I walked and look around in airport for find my friend’s sister. I try to find she about one hour that make me felt nervous. Because I never see my friend’s sister before and I don’t have her cell phone number. However, when I stop too find out. After that one girl sitting next to me she came to ask me “ Are u Tha right ”. I felt surprise because that sound is she. She told me she tries to find me too, That it was crazy first day in the United States.
ReplyDeleteI arrived at the U.S. on August 13th. When I arrived at a house which I stay with family I slept at once. Before I sleep I took a shower, but I couldn’t take only a shower well. In Japan, I have a space for washing my body. It’s separated from bathtub. Next day my host mother took me to the SAL office by her car in order to proceed. I was surprised that there are many lanes.
ReplyDeleteI got to the U.S.A.on May 8th. That day was a serene sky. I thought a beautiful. And I met my father for a long time. Becouse he had arrived at Junuary. As for the difference in time with Japan,the same day begins again in 17 hours. Therefore I felt it like a dream. We went to the house by car from an airport. I was surprised at the size of the house. We went to eat dinner for restourant and supermarket. I was surprised at numerousness of the puantuty. It was day when it tended to be fresh for me.

Boston. As arrived at Boston airport, It was friday night.I met my brother. Then i was hungry. So we went to restaurant also, supermarket. and we went to house probably, at 11PM. I was very exhausted... so I had to go to bed...
When i arrived at SF airport with my cousin. I got feeling wired because many Americans and wild scenery. I went his house to meet his roommate. but, i could't say 'HI' to roommate. After that, I moved to I-house and met good friends. It was my first time when i arrived America memories.
