　　Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to worry about people with big houses. nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why？ Because those people may often feel lonely.
　　In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you； when you are studying hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you； when you become successful, your friends will say congratulations to you； when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All your happiness is always around you.
　　Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say that you are very happy. because you have something else to make you feel happy. When you meet with difficulties. you can say loudly that you are very happy. because you have more chances to challenge（挑战） yourself. So, you should not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的） door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance in your life, you can be a happy and lucky person.

　　Do you want to know anything about my staying in America? Well, Let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
　　In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade.However I didn't know textbook English was very different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School,Connecticut.
　　When I first studied English, I was told to say, "I am fine" when people say "How are you?"But in the US, I found that people say," I am good" or "I am tired."
　　One day, someone greeted me with" What's up?" It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.
　　Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and the US cultures.
　　To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan(晒黑).However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler(白的).
　　I am also surprised by how hardworking the US students are.In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time.But here, an "excellent" student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music .The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

　　Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don't know, it's possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don't say "Give me that", but ask kindly as the following examples, "Do you have a pen I could borrow?" "Is there any wine?" "Did you buy any bread?"
　　If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with "could", "may" or "might". It's also possible to use "can" in some special situations. In the past, "can" was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use "Can you lend me...?" or "Can I have..." In the US, this is still considered to be wrong and "May I have..?" is preferred.
　　It's common to use "Could you lend/hand/give.?'You can also use: "May/Can I borrow..?Could/Can you lend me..?" "May I have..?" "Could you hand/give me..?" Do not begin a sentence with "please", but you can add "please" at the end of the sentence to be polite.
