Like Liu's experiences, when i started to study in America, i was most likely to talk with Chinese friends, not my American friends. Because it is hard to find the same activity or event that American friends and I both are interested in. Even when I met with them, i even didn't not know what topic will be appropriate for us to talk about. A few month later, I began to be familiar with American sports and TV program. Sometimes I tried to force myself to be interested in what American people were fond of. Half a year later, looking for a topic to talk with American friends was no longer a hard thing for me. In my opinion, Chinese students should be positive to talk with American students.It is useful for us to adapt to the new life in America.

Fouth blog----To be positive
Because of different cultures, it is easy to find that Chinese oversea students have a big problem of communicating with American students. Especially when Chinese students meet language problems, talking to American students seems to be a luxury product that they can not afford. Whenever these Chinese students start to speak English, they always worry about whether they will make a mistake or not during the process of communicating. In general, a result will be seen that a Chinese student uses lots of time to hang out with other Chinese students instead of trying to get themselves involved in the communication with American students. Chinese are more likely to speak mother-tongue in America. It is not useful for them to improve their English-speaking, and Chinese students should be positive to join in the communication with American students.
