Ethiopa and the U.S. : different countries, different cultures.

I want to tell you the differences between Ethiopia and the USA. I want you to know things, like that Ethiopia was the only one country in Africa who was not colonized. The three different things about my country and the USA are the weather, school, and language.
The weather in Ethiopia is very different from the weather in the USA. In Ethiopia it is warm for the whole year, but the weather changes every season here. In Ethiopia there is not much rain like in the U.S.A. When I was in Ethiopia I never saw snow .You can see the weather in U.S.A is not even somewhat little similar to Ethiopia.The second different thing between my country and the U.S.A is the school system. School in Ethiopia is much harder than here; the teachers are more strict in Ethiopia than here. The school schedule is longer than here, we have 8 -10 periods a day we have to learn three different languages and our language. We use more technology in the U.S.A than in Ethiopia. I prefer American school better because it has a shorter schedule and a more relaxed curriculum.

The third thing that is different is language. In Ethiopia the national language is Amharic. At school we learn three different languages one of which is English, but we don’t speak English or other language when we communicate with people. We have different pronunciation than the
American people in Ethiopia.

Those are the three different things between Ethiopia and the U.S.A. At the start it was hard to get used to it. However I think it is going to get easier every day.
