Hello everybody! I’m an exchange student in the United States, and I want to
share with you how I’ve felt these first 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
https://poli.instructure.com/courses/14632/quizzes/53334/history?version=2 1/9
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 first 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 flowers. 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 fiction!
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.
