Why study in America
Go abroad to study is a good choice. Although many countries want to international students come, most of them choose America. In particular, America has 6 universities in ten tops universities of the world and the government cost 54,314 million dollars in education. Three reasons that study in America are get a good job after graduate, become independent and open eyes.
First, people who have an American degree can find a good job because they can speak English very well, they learn a lot of different business styles and also American degree is accepted very easily. As we know, the world becomes smaller and smaller, no matter what job you have, you should talk to people. English is the most useful language of the world, if people study in America, they must past a English test, such as TOEFL, GRE and GMAT. After that, they can go to classes, speak, listen and write English all day. When they graduate, they have a very good English skill. They can almost talk to people from everywhere that is why they can get a good job. People in America from many different countries, they have different styles to do business. Study in America can learn these styles easier, they are good for business. For example, Xu is a CEO of new oriental company, he studied in America, during that time, he learned many styles to teach students. After study, he brought them to China and used those ways to teach students, he was successes. Another reason that can get a good job after graduate from American university is American degree is the most powerful degree. For example, in China, there are many retuned students cannot find a job expect from America, because the companies know get American visa is hard and graduate from university is difficult. All in all, if people have an American degree, most of them can find a good job because they have a social skill, it helps them to be an elite.
Second, people who study in America can become independent. They take care themselves, have freedom and do some part-time jobs. When they study in America, a big problem is live without their parents; they have to learn how to live by themselves. For instance, my friend who study in America, become independent during study in America. When he was in China, he did not do anything at home, if he hungry or tired, just called his mom, but when he came to America, nobody took care him, he had to cook himself, clean the house and buy food. Because of that, he becomes independent. Students in America have freedom, they decide how to this, how to do that, they control themselves, so they have their own thinking. They choose the classes what they need and interested in, they decide their goals by themselves. Another reason they become independent is they can do some part-time jobs, make money and learn experience. For example, my father gave me a car, but he said the gas I should pay by myself, so I find a job in camps, I improve my English and know how difficult to make money. I think during study in America, most of students can have special experience to help them become independent.
The last reason that study in America is open eyes. Learn new culture and make life fuller and make friends who from different countries. They come to America and learn American ways, see the culture different, use the good part of culture to make life better and fuller. For example, in Asian, if people very kind of you, they will very closed with you, but in America, people usually like to have personal space. I learned this and I think American way is better; I change and tell to my friends, I feel more comfortable than before. Make a lot of friends from different countries is a good experience, learn different culture and different language is a good way to open eyes.
In conclusion, get a good job, become independent and open eyes are three advantages if people study in America. Although there are some different parts like culture shock and racial discrimination, study in America is a good choice.

Journal Entry #33

What are you going to do over the 3 day weekend?
I was so sad, this weekend I stayed at home. I did my homework and download some TOEFL tests. I thought I should buy a car, then I can go somewhere on weekend.I did not have plan on weekend, I want to study, but now I feel was so bored. Maybe next time I will go to Disney during Thanksgiving.

Journal Entry #32

Thanksgiving is coming up soon. What three things are you most thankful for?
I am most thankful for three things, still alive, still healthy, still happy. These three things are the most important in people's life.I am happy that I have all of these. People need a good health, people need a happy life. For example, you have everything but a good health, that is sad, because you happy but you do not have enough time to enjoy it. On the other hand, you have a food health, but not happy. I think people have life because they want to be happy. A person who do not have a happy life is waste the life.I am glad I have all of these.

Journal Entry #31

Is it ever okay to lie? In which circumstances?
I think it is ok to lie when you want to help people or yourself, and will not hurt other people.First, help yourself. When a person who you really do not like want to treat you to dinner, you can lie to him, it is ok. Second, help other people. For example, sometimes my friends do not want to do their homework, and teacher ask me, I know the reason but I say I do not know.I do not want to them in trouble. If the lie will hurt someone, do not do that, because it not only hurt them, but also hurt yourself.

Journal Entry #30

Does it matter what strangers think of you? Do you care if everyone likes you or are you content just being yourself?
Well, to be honest, it doesn't matter what strangers think of me. I don't care what the strangers are thinking about me. I think this is my style. In China has an old saying " Walks road which you must walk, don't care what others say". I like the saying, I think if you want to succeed, you must do that. Actually I care that my friends can like me, because to me that the friends are important.
If i do something wrong, I hope that friends can tell me or give me some information. That's all for now. Thank you.
