Hello everybody! I’m an exchange student in the United States, and I want to share with

you how I’ve felt these rst 3 months. At the beginning, I really felt homesick

because I couldn’t get in touch with my family as frequently as I was used to – you

know that in China social networks are not easily available.  However, after a couple of weeks, I
started feeling better and even entertained about American culture. One of the biggest
differences between China and the USA is that school life here is really relaxing. The

assignments are easy so I have time to hang out with my friends and to participate in

social and cultural events. For example, two weeks ago, my roommate , Kathy,

invited me to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family. We ate turkey and pumpkin pie,

and I must admit that it was delicious. Now, I’m really looking forward to New Year’s Eve

because I’ve heard the reworks display is awesome and the parades along

the main streets are quite fun. The only problem now is the weather. These days, we’ve had

cloudy skies and, according to the weather report next week it’ll be even

worse.

Ok guys… I hope you liked my rst blog entry. I will be telling you everything about my new life
as a foreign student in the USA.

THREE SPECIAL DAYS AROUND THE WORLD

Teacher’s Day

People in many countries celebrate World Teachers’ Day on 5th October, but in
Argentina it is on 11th September – the anniversary of the death of former
president, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento in 1888. Sarmiento believed in the
importance of education: he wrote ‘Schools are the very basis of civilization’.
Children traditionally write poems for their teachers and give them an apple, make
a cake or buy owers. In Vietnam, Educators’ Day is in November. Everyone has a
day off school, and many students visit their former teachers in their homes to give
them presents, or give news about themselves. And at some schools in India, senior
students become teachers, and teachers become students for the day!

World Book Day

In many countries, Book Day is on 23rd April every year. It originated in Catalonia in
1923 when booksellers decided to honour the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes
who died on that day in 1616. In 1995, it became an international event when
books and reading are celebrated. There are usually events such as writing
competitions, and in Madrid there is a public reading of Cervantes’s greatest work
– Don Quijote – which lasts 48 hours! In the UK and Ireland, all schoolchildren
receive a 1-pound book token, and many children now dress up as their favorite
character from ction!

Respect for the Aged Day

Grandparents’ Day is popular in many countries, but in Japan – a country where

nearly 30 percent of the population are over 60 – people treat older people with
special respect. This day is celebrated on the third Monday of September. Everyone
has a day off school or work and they organize celebrations for the older people of
the village or community where they live. Young people dress up in traditional
clothes. They sing and dance and they either prepare a special meal or eat out as a
family. Nowadays, people also visit relatives and the older people in their families,
for a three-day weekend.
