Living in a different culture can be a both exciting and challenging(挑战性的) experience. You have to learn different cultures and try to get used to them. Let's share some cultural differences between China and the US to help understand each other.
Privacy(隐私) -- Chinese people talk about subjects such as age and income (收入), which
Americans think is not polite.
Families- In China, elders are traditionally treated with respect. In America, the goal of the
family is to encourage independence(独立), especially that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, few elder Americans live with their children.
Friends -- Chinese people have different understanding of "friends". In China, "friendship" means a lifelong relationship between friends who think it's their duty to give each other any help. Americans always 'call people they meet friends.
Money -- The Chinese like saving money. They are always careful when they are planning to spend money. It is different in America, where far fewer families are saving money.
Education- Chinese people value education and jobs more than Americans do, who pay more attention to good nature instead.

Everyone in China likes dumplings very much, and there are many different kinds of dumplings. Some have meat and vegetables in them. Others have sugar, eggs and so on. I like dumplings with vegetables and pork better than any other kind.
Usually people make dumplings at home. If you have no time to make them, you can buy them from any supermarket. Then you take them home and eat them with vinegar(醋).
The Spring Festival is very important in China. When it comes, we make dumplings. Usually we put a coin(硬币) in a dumpling. If one eats the dumpling with the coin in it, he or she will be lucky in the whole year. In the old days, people seldom ate dumplings because they were very poor. Now our country is becoming stronger and stronger, and our people are richer and richer. We can eat them very often.

The changes in my hometown
In the past, my hometown was very small Them were green hills and clear water. And the air was very clean and fresh. The traffic was not convenient, so local people went to the town only by bike or on foot. But people could hardly change their daily lives.
Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. My hometown has become more beautiful. There are more roads, buildings and people. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. People can go anywhere by bus, taxi or train. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to visit my hometown. But there are fewer trees around now.
If we pay more attention to the environment, I'm sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.
