However, to a certain degree, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Though I soon managed to get used to it, I still had problems because they used a lot of idioms. For example, they often say they are “under the weather” when they are ill. Their everyday English is very different from what we learn in China.
Another difference was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really missed the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home.
School was a big shock too. They do not require students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. Some students have strange hairstyles as well. Some students even have pink or purple hair!

I must admit that at first America was a big culture shock for me. Many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school.
I stayed with a host family in a small town. My host parents, Mr and Mrs Hurst, were very kind. They organized a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that I wouldn’t miss home or feel lonely.
However, to a certain degree, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast.

One possible idea:
I think Brad dealt with culture shock in America quite successfully. At first, he had great difficulty with communication, food and school life. But he did not give up and kept a positive attitude towards the culture shock. For example, he took part in the cultural activities. He had a better understanding of his own culture as well. In the end, he got used to the life in the US and had many great memories of the exchange year.
