Football
Columbus,
named same as the great navigator who discovered America, is a city
with 800,000 people. People here love watching football, playing
football. On the home game day, people wear red clothes, gathered in the
Ohio Stadium, or in the sports bar, watching OSU team to get a
touchdown. In fact, I don't really know the rules of football, how to
goal or how to defence, but since I saw people cheering in
McDonald's(watching football) or the traffic jam(caused by the game)
during home game day, I have begun to understand that football is some
kind of bond which unites buckeyes together. It's a convention, a
spirit, a culture.

| Captured in an American church |
I
go to church every Friday, picked up by my host family father, a
Christian, who gives me a lot of help when I first came to America. I
have never been to a church before, neither did I know anything about
Bible. The first day to church was exciting, we have a fancy dinner
which even contains chinese food, a wonderful music performance(singing
Christian songs) as well.I have never said that I believe in God, but
they don’t force me to do that, the Christian said it’s OK, at least you
can know what is Bible about by studying it. More than 80 percent of
people in United States are Christian(according to CIA);God tells them
to be good to strangers and God is the one who sets up a moral standard
in American society.
OSU
OSU
is a huge university, bigger than any university in China, maybe the
biggest one in the world. OSU has thousands of students from all over
the world. Like a traditional state university, OSU has a wide range of
majors providing for students who have plenty of interests, so that I
can learn whatever I want at OSU.
Limited
by the experience I have in America now, I can not tell too much of
what American culture is, but I will read more books, go to more
classes, attend more after-class activities, visit more cities, and,
experience life.
