Compare with Sookan's experience

When I first time came to U.S. I afraid to talk with people, even waiter was asking me to water. I was  more anxious than Sookan.

Also my English are poor as Sookan, even I can not speak a full sentence in English. However  I am much lucky than Sookan. I have a older sister which study at American university for long time. She helps me a lot, and teach me a lot of things such as: grammar, speaking, spelling. Also my family is richer than Sookan, So I do not need to work for scholarship. Every international students in American school need to work harder than American student because of language problems. That's why every international students's life are not easy.

About Myself

       For my parents, they think I am a good boy who loves studying. For my friends, they think I am good at anything, never give up. But, for my teachers, they always think I am a smart student without endeavor. So these different personalities make up myself, the unique Leo.

       I do not like do anything that has the relation with studying, especially writing and reading, even I am a Chinese student studied in a Chinese primary school, there was one thing I hated the most, which was the reading explanation. Teachers always asked me to explain what the writers want to say. But I was very confused about it, because everyone has their own thinking; everyone is unique in this world, why should I analyze others' thinking way. So because of this reason, I always got lower points in reading. But I like reading, I like reading the story, whatever it is real or unreal, they both are attractive for me. I always think if there's no reading explanation part in school, it must be good. I like to compare their writing style with my style, then I could figure out what do I need to improve what should I practice.

       For me, I don't like the horror stories, I like reading narrative, especially a book that tell the past things, I wrote a story about myself, it's called memoir, I like this type of story the most, it likes the things happen in our daily life, the basic things are the most attractive things for me. In my memoir, I wrote about my life after I got offer of Cheshire Academy. Because that event is one of the most important events in my life, it changes my life so much even I can't rely on my parents for live anymore. However, I am still proud of my choice. I love the true story because of that can let people to get information or knowledge from the book or paragraph. However I hate the writing style of lab reports, I found its words boring and uninteresting. I like to write more about interesting things such as telling a true story of someone I know.

       In general I think my writing experience in the past is not good enough because I think the topic is uninteresting to me. The variety of types of writing such as lab reports, essays are very limited. I want to write less on analytic and write for some more original content. I hope to write more on topics that I think interesting in the future.
