After leaving Vietnam, Le never expected to fall in love with the U.S.

What is the difference between United States and Vietnam? There are many things that are different between United States and Vietnam, such as both countries are strange. When I came to the United States, I saw many things that are strange and I couldn’t believe it. The United States was going to change my life, I needed to begin my new life in the United States. So, when I compare the two countries, I see many things that are different. But, the three most different things between the United States and Vietnam are the culture, fashion, and relationship.

First of all, the culture in the United States is not like my country, it is very strange. In United States, people don’t talk much, they do not communicate at all, people stay at home and watch TV or do something else. In United States, the culture is hard for me to follow, but I will endeavor to follow it. The culture is boring, however I like the United States culture more than my old culture, because this is a new place for me to live.

Second of all, the fashion between United States and Vietnam are 100 percent different. In Vietnam, they put colors in their hairs and they have very long hair. Every month, they design new clothes with many colors. In Vietnam, they dress very normal, in United States, they dress a lot of ways.  They copy the fashion from other cultures. However, the fashion in Vietnam and United States are not important to me, I can wear anything. I hope one day, all kinds of fashion will be the same between Vietnam and the United States, so I can have an easy way to choose it.

Finally, the last important difference between the United States and Vietnam is  the relationship between students and teachers. In the United States, the teachers are very whole-hearted. If you do not understand something, the teachers try to explain it again and they want you to understand what they said. In Vietnam, teachers hit you with a ruler if you do something wrong and are not willing to help. Another relationship is between me and my friends in the United States. Two years ago, the first day when I came to school, I didn’t understand anything, so they helped me and told me about the school and people. Sometimes, they solved difficult things or problems for me, so I really love them.

However, I started a new life in the United States and I hope I can have a better life in the United States. There is no where for me to go except the United States, because United States is the best place for me to start a new life.
