Blog Assignment #4

In the reading material, it actually shows the biggest and most usual problem which happens to the international students like us and as an international student, it is quite easy for me to understand Liu's feeling.
With the people from the same country , it will definitely be convenient to talk and discusee the problems met in the American life. Thus, I agree with Liu's decision of moving out with other Chinese students. However, I don't think Liu should avoid communicating with Americans, even though it's really tough to follow what they said. Just try the best to feel like talking with a friend and you will find it actually improves you a lot. In fact I have already thought about moving off-campus with some students from Chinese. Although the plan finally failed because of the first-year provision to live campus, we still work and go to the dining hall together during the campus life. As the sametime, my roommate, a cute boy from Wilmington, is friendly and always helpful on my common life and study problems.
Moreover, from my own experience, problems of communication caused by different language and culture also can be found during Chinese. I know it might be really incredible to the foreigners. In China, the land is so vast and complicated that people from 34 provinces speak more than 34 dialects. As my friends in UD, two of them are from Sichuan Province and when they are chatting by their dialect, I almost can't get anything and it sometimes makes me feel such helpless and outcast. It just like I am not only needed to have a listening test on my class, but also in the common life with my Chinese friends.
