Hello, I'm Li Ming. I have studied in the UK for nearly two years now. But I (remember) my first few weeks of living in a different country forever.
The Food
I'll never forget the first food that I (taste) at school in England. We had this soup and it tasted of nothing at all. In China, our food is salty, but we like it because the salt (make) it taste nice. A friend advised me (try) some cheese. It was really sour.
Customs
In China when you meet someone for the first time, you shake hands. I was so (surprise) when my friend's mother gave me a kiss when I left his house. I felt so embarrassed and my face (go) red.
Transport
When I want to go anywhere in China, I just take my bicycle. Here in England, I have to get a bus everywhere. The buses (not stop) automatically like they do in Beijing. You have to put your hand out, ring the bell or press the signal button.
Socialising(社交)
I remember when I went around to a friend's house. In China, we often (give) people cakes as presents. The boy's mother stared at the cake. She was trying to be polite but I knew from her face that I (take) something wrong. In England, a cake is more often (give) on someone's birthday.
