ParteaI_______________________________________________________________________
I. Read the text below and complete the following tasks. Write all your answers on the Answer Sheet.
I moved from Korea to the USA when I was 14 years old. The first few weeks were great everything was exciting and
different. Going to the supermarkets was an adventure: the foods were all new to me and everything was so big! The
biggest culture shock for me was going to high school. First of all, I looked different. All the other girls looked so much
older than me. They wore make-up and colored their hair. And I never went to a school with boys before. So the first thing
I did to try to fit in was to have a perm. I also started wearing make-up, but I wasnt very good at putting it on. My eyeliner always seemed to smudge and my lipstick was always the wrong color. I loved nail polish though. I used to wear
different colors on each finger. I also got my ears pierced.
I found Americans a lot more open than Koreans. When I ate my dinner in the cafeteria, I always tried to ignore the boys
and girls kissing each other over the table. People dont do that in Korea. I found it hard to eat my dinner! The other thing I
found hard was holding hands (or not holding hands). In Korea girls hold hands with girls, but in America people think
thats really weird. Instead girls hold hands with their boyfriends. I thought that was really weird! I wasnt cool either. In
Korea its good to be clever and do well at school, but in America I was a nerd for liking study (and I wore glasses, which
made it worse). I found making friends really hard.
