Answers for 11 Core Questions
1. What could SCSU do to make your stay on campus better?
I think SCSU has done very well to make students stay on campus. As we are international students, we could get any help from CIS. It's an organization to help all international students. And about the life on campus, I think the food in Gavery could be more delicious. I can't find any Chinese food that I like.
2. Could you tell me a secret about yourself that very few people here know about and that shows us well, who you are and what you stand for?
When I was about 8 years old, I was very activity. I liked to jump and run everywhere. One day, I ran in the home but unfortunately I was tripped by a step. Finally, I fell down and broke my head. I had a large scar under my hair. This is a secret about myself.
3. Which country's food do you like the most? What are the similarities and differences between it and your own culture's food?
My favorite food is Chinese food. I have never find any other food be more delicious than Chinese food. Although I am studying in USA, I often go to Chinese restaurants with my friends. I think the Chinese food tastes so delicious because of using much oil. After people taste Chinese food, they will all like eating them.
4. What are the typical greetings in your culture and what do they mean?
In my country, the typical greetings is "Ni Hao". It means "Hello" in English. When two people meet outsides, they will shake their hands and say "Ni Hao". Lots of foreign people know this wood and speak it to Chinese people. And "Ni Hao" is similar with "How are you?".

Communism is in charge of China. It make our lives better and improve the development of economy in China. In fact, it is similar like the western capitalism in some fields.

To international transportation, the ocean transportation is more economical.
7. At what age do you start school? Are you under a lot of stress in school?
I started school at 7 years old. I feel a lot of stress in school, because of my country's education ploicy. There are many homework and exams.

It is must be Spring Festival. During this day, all of the family members will celebrate it together. We will eat some traditonal food during this day, such as dumplings, fish and chicken and so on.

No. I have no religious beliefs.

I think the famous sport in my country is Ping-pang. Most of Chinese people like to play this sport. Even people between 8 years old and 70 years old, they all play Ping-pang. As a result, China could earn lots of medals from Ping-pang in the international competition. When I was young, I used to play Ping-pang with my father.
10. Can you describe a typical day for a child in your country?
In China, children have a typical day for themselves called "Children's Day". All children will celebrate it. There are many different activities in schools. Children will get many gifts from their parents. They all enjoy this festival very well.

After studying these topics, I learned a lot about how to write clear sentences. These things from really help me a lot. I know the difference between active and passive words. I also learned how to ues some correct words to make nice sentences due to some words are meaningless and some are necessary to use. There are many different kinds of exercise on the website. I know the way to write meaningful sentences and interesting story. I am also able to find some mistakes in my writing before. The topics also help me review the grammar. When a word does not affect the meaning of the sentence, it can usually be omitted. Sometimes an "extra" word or two words may be necessary to distinguish what is being referred to or compared in the sentence. For example, "Patrick O'Brian's novels contain more accurate information about naval history than any other author." is not right. The correct sentence should be "Patrick O'Brian's novels contain more accurate information about naval history than any other author's books.". So we can find it's very important to choose using words. I will spend more time on these topics and learning more about the writing skills.
