Homework Assignment for July 10, 2010
(Write 3 paragraphs about my life in America)

By Vita

My student life in America during summer 2010 has been very interesting so far.To start, the people working in UCR are helpful, polite and understanding. Each class consists of 10 to 15 students, which is very different from classes in my home country. The books are well-structured and help the students familiarize themselves with American grammar and writing.Having a cafeteria inside the school is very convenient especially during lunch hour. Finally, I enjoy hanging out in the patio and doing my homework because it is very quiet there.

On the other hand, my fun life in the U.S. began with the school's optional trip in Disneyland. We went there on America's Independence Day and saw the firework show. Before that, we got soaked in the Splash Mountain Ride and travelled to space with the Space Mountain Ride. The most fascinating part of my day there was that I was portraited as a caricature.

In addition, during my free time after school I enjoy watching television as there are many sleuthing series which I like!

And now let's pass to the most annoying part here in the U.S.: the food. Mostly fast food is available for students here. This type of food is unhealthy and is offered in big portions. So, I am thinking inside my head: How am I going to be in one month from now? a) Fat because I will be eating those gorilla steaks? or b) Skinny because I won't be eating any food at all?

I am sure there are a lot more things to see in the U.S. but so far these are the ones I have experienced.
