Wednesday, September 17 The most specific and significant experience in USA
Since i can remember,there are many things have been gradually forgotten, but there is one thing that i will always remember.It has impact on my life and helps me walk along the right road.

I had no friends. I felt very lonely and depressed in this new city. Fortunately I made a new friend Michael. He was a Chinese. And he had a sister Lingling. We often played together after school. Michael helped me a lot to adapt to the new school. When I couldn’t understand what other students said, he translated it into Chinese. And he taught me how to play “four square battles”. Then I could play with other students. Once I made new friends, I felt comfortable and had confidence. I am a boy without any care again.
