Marshfield High School Chen Yueqi(front row left) , from Liangfeng Senior Middle School took photos with Paul Ryan. Ethan （Huang Zhiyi, studying at Rochester High School） I have been here for about one and a half months, what impressed me most is the environment and people here. The light blue sky and so many green trees cannot be seen in most China. Also everyone seems very nice to me no matter in school or in daily life. My host family is very good as well and they always cook delicious food for Christine and me. Generally speaking, living here will definitely be an unforgettable experience in my whole life.
Miao yuan (Having studied at Craig High School) It’s been almost a month since I came to Craig, and many of my feelings are piled up in my heart. Life here is very different from that in China. In the classroom, teachers pay special attention to teamwork. In the first lesson here, the teachers will let a few students complete a homework. Many people may be shy to speak with American classmates or teachers, but in fact, Craig’s classmates are particularly good. You should take the initiative to join them. After several discussions in the class, I found that they are also full of curiosity about the Chinese. Speaking of host family, when I first arrived in the United States, I crossed half of the earth, and the soil and water were not convinced. During this period, my mother would really take care of you as their own child. It was really touching. Chinese students study for two years at Nanjing Hexi Foreign Language School, and for the final year at an American high school. After obtaining an American high school diploma, they apply to an American university.
