om what I was used to. There were lost dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly(平整地 )paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often。 earthquakes and windstorms were frequent. I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to municate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn39。t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many. Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression(攻擊 )towards the people to lack of appetite(食欲 ). I was required to overe all difficulty. As time passed, everything changed. I began to fet words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy. But the sacrifices(犧牲 )were nothing pared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others. 51.

When he studied in the senior middle school we often exchanged learning experience, so I know clearly why he was able to achieve such a success. First of all, he had a high goal—going to Peking University and was full of confidence. He usually had a detailed plan for his study and knew what he should do every day. The most important was that he had a good habit of study and never stayed up or left today39。s work for tomrrow. He not only studied hard but also was ready to help others. Both teachers and his classmates liked him very much. I also learned a lot from him, which helped me much, especially with my study.
