Differences Between Two Kinds of Youth
原版：
The trip to the United State opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth. Now I will talk about the differences between them.
The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason behind this is that they don't care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. I think it's great, but it also causes problems. Since they don't care about their appearance, they don't really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.
There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love, they don't really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. Lovers, actually, can't kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want,and they are usually more concerned about the future of the relationship than American youth.
With regard to othet types of relationships ,there are also big differences.Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of tie between her and this new circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.
To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. In general, they don't really care how the others will judge them. In France, it's not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans' behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.

对美国的旅行让我打开眼界，有很多的相似性以及差异的美国青年和法国青年。现在我将讨论他们之间的差异。
第一个区别是在外观上。在美国，我发现，美国的年轻人不太在意自己的外表。在早上，他们选择在自己的衣柜的东西，穿的是另一件事，通常用不同的颜色和款式，不知道他们的选择使他们看起来很奇怪。这背后的原因是，他们不在乎别人的样子，但在他们的想法只是感兴趣。我认为这是伟大的，但它也造成了问题。因为他们不关心自己的外表，他们并不真正关心他们的体重。他们常常脂肪而不自知。
有差异的关系太。当美国青年相爱，他们真的不想未来。同时，有不同的规则的行为是允许的。在某些方面，法国更接受。例如，在美国，通常是进行物理显示不可接受的爱。‖，实际上，不能亲吻或拥抱他们到处都想要的。人们认为没有表现出在公共场所的爱是一种尊重他人。相反，法国青年几乎可以做任何他们想要的，他们通常更关注未来的关系比美国青年。

说完，我注意到在美国课堂，当学生想说或问点什么，他们只是做它。一般来说，他们真的不在乎别人会怎么评价他们。在法国，这是不一样的情况。如果有人想问什么，他/她会在开口说话前先想想。我欣赏美国人的行为，自由的思想，并表达自己的方式。

Shopping in America
原版:
Going shopping seems easy, but actually it takes a lot of learning, especially in America. In fact, many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at \special stores that sell things at low prices, which you may find interesting. In America, the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day. For example, in an American college, neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row. So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you
have in China. While you are shopping in the States, you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time.

Sheets, blankets, and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year. Advertisements for \well as in May, June or July. Once or twice every season, there will be\where you can get almost anything, from a yacht to a pair of shoes, at low prices. Prices at\
When shopping for food, you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly.To economize, it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale,including in it the meats, vegetables, fruits, etc. that can be bought at special prices that week.
Exchange and return policies vary from store to store. You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies, especially if the price of the items has been reduced. Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase. Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult. So, to save yourself the headache,you'd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase.
