America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear* soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship .This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending* deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat* friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it needs a great deal of time. But in China ,we are usually generous* with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America ,Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full ,warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality* at home and enjoy your visit in America!

Life is important. You should always have fun and new experiences, because you never know what day will be your last. You shouldn’t hold anger. You never know what could happen next. I learned all this at the age of nine.
It was the summer before fifth grade. My best friend Nessa and I were playing. We got angry with each other and had a fight. My older cousin, Tiffany, broke up our fight. I remember Nessa storming out of my grandmother’s house, saying, “I hope we never speak again!”
I replied, “Good, I don’t need you as a friend!”
I went into the house and tried to be quiet. Then I heard people shouting outside. My cousin rushed in. She said that Nessa had been hit by a street truck as she crossed the road. The driver didn’t see her. I felt sad. I wished it had been me instead. It could have been avoided* if we hadn’t had that fight!
When the ambulance* arrived a few minutes later, they said she was dead. I was a real mess. I had to see a psychologist* for the rest of the summer.
I miss Nessa so much and I think of her always. She taught me how valuable* and important life is and that you should never hold anger because you never know when you’ll see that person again.
