I am a volunteer in a elementary school. My primary task is talking and playing with American kids. The first time I talked wiht them, they felt very shy. However, if they regard you as their friend, they would become open-minded and sociable. They also like to tell you their secrets
If in the public areas, it depends on their personalities. If a kid is extrovert. He likes active. In contrast, if a kid is introverted, he may very shy in the public areas.
I interviewed some older American people. I realized that they are very emphasize the quality of life when they get older. They don't care how old they are. They would prefer to live naturally. They don't like to bother their children and like to live lonely.

American family
I interviewed some friends and talked about American family.
The first thing surprised me is alomost all American family have more than one child. However, America does not have any overpopulation problems.
I think the strutch about American family is pretty much same like China. However, there are still have some differences. The traditionalChinese family is husband working and wife doing housework. However, in America, both of them are working.
One may concerned the life about elder people. I think they have good quality life. Government provides health care, insurances whatever if they want. They still can live with their children. The reasons that they live alone are they don't like become burdens for their children and they feel free live alone.
The big problem is divorce. The divorce rate is almost 40% in America. It has serious negaive influences for children.

The controversial issue-Multicultural
Nowadays, America is the most developed country in the world. Otherwise, America may keep its status for a while. One may concerned that why America has the absolute leading edge. In my conception, I think it includes two ways primarily: catched the unique opportunities and the phenomenon of mult-iculture.
Today, I am going to talk about influence of the multiculture. After CIVIL RIGHTS movement and before World WarII, America opened the door for immigrant without serious limitation. In order to get peaceful and good quality life, lots of talents immigrated to America. This resource was a big factor for the successful America. After World War II, the immigrant policy was limited by the talent people. It INSPIRED more genius to immigrate to America. The advanced workforce and unique environment MINGLED in America, eventually, America enhanced its status and created the multi-culture. Obviously, we can realize the advantagation.
However, criminal rate is becoming severe in some areas which have clear impact between different cultures. It is a part of shortage for multicultural.

Cherish life, please
I disagree that it’s legal to keep a gun in your own house. Gun is the most dangerous weapon; the most serious consequence is killing the people. I assume a story: Jack and Tom have some problems, actually, problems are not very serious, and they can sit and have a good conversation to solve problems. However, Jack feels very angry and wants to retaliate against Tom, he won’t kill Tom. The only weapon he has is gun. Jack holds the gun and goes to Tom’s house, he just want to shoot Tom’s leg. But Tom think Jack wants to kill him, in a addition, Tom uses his gun to protect himself and shoot for Jack. Obviously, gunfight is coming. Finally, both of them are dead. It is pitiful story, they are innocent, and the culprit is gun.
Sometime, during a short period, because people’s emotion, as a result, they cannot control their self. When they realize what they are did, unfortunately, it is too late.
Cherish life and away from guns
Ps: The crime rate in Texas( legal to hold guns) is much high than Wisconsin(illegal to hold guns)

The most respected people
I think the most respected people is my parents.
The night before I came to America, I had a short conversation with my father. My father told me: the most worried about you is your mother. She took care of you when you was born. She has never been leave you for such long time. Everytime you leave, she always has solicitude for you.
When I was in China, my father always told me some principles. I did not care, I thought he would like to put his ideas to impose on me. I felt very uncomfortable and argued with him. Sometime because my fault, makes my father felt very disappointed. Now I am in America. I understand my father's attentiveness exactly. I feel regretful that if I did like he said, I would much better.
The love from parents is selfless. They really want to their children know their experience in order to go the wrong way. When we argue with our parents, please understand and respect them.

Chinese people's belief
Recently, I heard a news about China: some people in some provinces in order to retaliate against the society, they use syringes with germ to attract pedestrians. As a result, many people were hitted and go to the hospital.
I felt so disappointed. What a serious behavior!
Back to the theme, I am going to talk about belief in China.
In ancient China, a few people support the Atheism, however, many people believe God is ture and bless them forever. When they face circumstance and bad situations, they believe God is watching them and will help them overcome bad situations. As a result, obeying commands and keeping patience become their main thought. So the ruler encourage civilians to belive God, because it could be more easy to control.
In current China, from the developing of technology acompanied with people change their mind. More and more people support the Atheism, in additon, government implements free religious belief policy. Residents have more options to choose. But a big problem is coming: people is becoming empty.
Back to event which I mentioned, if these bad guys believe God, they should know if they do bad behaviors and God will punish them finally! I have a question: where is their conscience?
