Alienation
Many
people move from their own country to another country because they
want to complete their own
life. Also, they try to make a successful future for
themselves as what they
plan for it. Because America is one of the biggest countries in
the world, many people come
to live in it. It is difficult for some people to interact with
the American community and they need a long
time to adapt with them because they
don’t understand the American culture. When
those people stay for a period of time or
they spend most of their
life in America, they will start to understand this new culture
easily and clearly. In addition,
because of people in America are more friendly and
outgoing, you can make many
friendships; therefore, you can easily affected with the
American culture. Alienation
makes people learn many things by living alone in new
community and deal with new kind of people who
don’t speak your own language.
Comparing my life in
America and when I was in Saudi Arabia, there are many aspects in
my life are changed. One of these aspects is
my personality. For instance, when I was in
Saudi Arabia, I didn’t do
many things by myself because there was my family helped me.
On the other hand, through
my life in America, I learned that I should be more serious
and responsible about everything because I do
all my things by myself. Also, I learned to
depend on myself not on
anyone else. The lesson that I learned through my life in
America is the people who
spend a long time with them, they will effect on your
personality and attitude by
their culture or their customs and traditions.
That you said is a very common phenomena,many people would like to go to some other countries for their future or just to experience life.So do I,since I came here, I leaned many different things that I never do in my country,like cooking and washing,and also I make many friends from different country,I really like to feel the culture shock.

I agree with your opinion.Home sick and culture shock are disturbed to everyone who study in the foreign country.We must try to be fareless and communicate with native people.If we want to get familiar with America culture and customs,it's necessary for us to improve our English skills.That's a first step we should do.

I like what you wrote, because I have the feeling as you. Once I arrived America, I should do every thing myself. Nobady can help me and nobody has resposibility to help me. I should adapt to the new life as quick as possible. Whateve happiness or sarrow, I should face it meself. Especially in a different country, I should try my best to kown a new culture, to understand a new culture, and adapt to a new culture. But, I never regret that I am in America.Because it is my own choice. This is my personal way to grow up, so I should finish by myself.

What I think is the same as you do.Live in a different country and try to adapt the culture in this contry. And I have done many things by my own sinse I came here. Make American friends, always speak and conmmunicate with people who doesn's speak your own language.If after all this I could get many helpful experiences for my progress.
