I do not really remember what is the best advice i have given to my friend before. However, i am a person who loves give advice to friends either from my life experiences or studying experiences.Because i really do not want to my friend have the same problem as me. Recently i just get a good advice for my friend which is how to pass TOEFL
Now i lived in an apartment which is close to school, there are many international students living there. We are willing to share experiences that we learned from either own experience or learned from others.Recently, one of my friend ask me, how can you pass TOEFL easily? I told him. First of all. I did not pass TOEFL easily, TOEFL is one of the most hard text for international student. so do I. it is really hard. However, my suggestion for him is , try to be think it deeply. do not only scratch on the surface. you have to really think about how to improve your English. or not just ask yourself why i can't pass the TOEFL or why my friend can pass TOEFL easily. To be honest when you feel really sad and try to ask yourself why my friend can pass TOEFL but i cannot, while when you thinking of that the time already pass away, finally you waste time. you can keep encourage yourself my friend can pass TOEFL, either do i, the only thing i have to do is try to hard working, and you will pass it.
I took TOEFL IBT for 4 times. do not you think that amazing. yes it is. sometimes i am very guilty to tell my friend. but in order to help them i am willing to tell them. when i first took the text. i think i can pass it .but i did not. second time i think i will pass it ,but i did not. third time i think i will completely pass it. however i did not. finally i think, oh, i f i cannot pass this time i have to try next time, fortunately i pass it. i am very happy. so based on my own experience hard working is the key for pass the TOEFL test anything else do not really help you for pass TOEFL test. so try to think about how to improve your English to instead of thinking why did other people pass it but i cannot.

Optimistic Quote
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
This qtoue is baically talking about that different people have different points of view. Pessimists always view the wrold negatively, they are upset with their life. Every time a pessimist faces the problem, he or she will give up or evade the difficulty. In other word, perssimist usually cannot face problems and neither succeed. However, a optimist has totally different point of view when he or she faces a dfficulty. Optimist has positive way of thinking, and they can handle any situation or problem in a better way. For example, pessimist sees the glass is half empty but optimist sees the glass is half full!
Personaly, I believe I am a pessimist. I actually faced lots of difficult situations when I came to the US. It was a big challenge to me. My emotion could be affect by any small fators such as bad grades or friends. When I faced a problem, I became upset and emotional. I could not really solve problems myself. when I felt upset, I just wanted to hide myself. So, I knew exactly what pessimists felt when they got difficult problems. According to my history professor that "people are driven by emotion!!!", and I deeply understand it becasue I am the one that he is talking about".
I know it is terrible to be a pessimist because I see things in a negative way. For example, every time I decide to do something. I will think about "what if I fail?" or "Can I do it?", I always doubt myself. That's say, everytime I take exams, even I review all night long or even I am 100% fully prepare. I still doubt that I could fail the test or I must miss some important details. So, the results always bad because I know I worry too much.
It is really bad to be a pessimist. I hope I can change to be an optimist in the future because my life is full of suffering right now!

compare Amercian food and Chinese food
Before i came to the USA, i thought American are only eat fast food, however now i know there are a lot of different kinds food, such as American BBQ which is very delicious. but i discovered the most important thing when i get here is the fast food from China is totally different than American. we have similar style of hamburger but tastes is very different.
In my country which is China, we have long history, especially for food history, ancient Chinese are really enjoy cooking. and we also known as The Chinese feast. many people knows the Chinese feast it was the most delicious food in old China.
My Chinese friend always ask me ,what do we have to eat when we go to American? If they go to California, I will suggest my friends to eat IN and OUT, which is my favorite fast food in the US. not only because of it is very delicious, but also the most healthy fast food, they choose fresh meat and vegetables to make their food. and the most significant reason to eat IN and OUT is you can only find it in California! other places you will never find it, it isn't a good reason for eat IN and OUT?

friends
In China, we have a proverb which is the called" same group of people are always get together, and some group of animals are always get together." I think all my friends have similar personality and similar value with me, so we can understand others more and also easy to find a topic that we are willing to talk about it.
when i first time meet a person i do not really want to talk a lot because of we do not know each other, it was really hard to find an appropriate topic to talk. i do not know what is she or he likes, when i pick up a topic i was thinking it this topic ok to talk or he or she does not want to talk about it, so i have to waiting for someone to talk first, to be honest, i am an emotional person so i really do not want to hurt someone, for example i do not willing to ask personal question until they tell me about it, so do i , i do not like someone talk to me about how's going with you and your boyfriend, or what did you do last night? or how many boy friend do you have? so when i make friend i want to find someone have same personality, more kind and more helpful! if we have an appointment i do not like my friend show up late or just never show up there are my value so, i need all my friend have same value as me, not too much, just show up on time, do not always use bad words, i do not mean never use it to be honest, i use bad words sometimes, but not always! be kind be nice, and the most important thing is to be honest to me, that all i my respect for my friends

Compare the U.S road and my own country
The USA have a lot free way, high way. They are really good because they give us a lot convenience.while as the same time there are many cars as we known there are bad traffic and so crowded. however the worst is crazy drivers.
One day, i was driving on my way to go back home, i was going straight, and there is a car on my right hand side the drivers did not see me when i was going to pass by him, he suddenly drive out that line and rush to my car i was shocked and my legs did not work and turning to stiff. i was so angry. but fortunate i was not get hurt! i can not image how crazy he is , he was driving really fast and he did not feel sorry about me, i really want to talk to that gay " do you know how to drive? " he may be know i am really angry and he running away!
There are many convenient free ways and high ways but there are also too many crazy drivers. I really like my country even though we do not have that much free way we only have high way but we do not have that much crazy drivers , i hope some day there will no crazy drivers or decreased !

Weather
To be honest, there are many kinds of weather that i enjoyed. I really like the weather in Southern California, becuase I hate rain and snow. I enjoy warm and sunny weather with a little bit wind. I like to take a walk in this kind of weather, because I feel really relax and happy.I do not have any pressure or concern when i walking in a warm and windy weather. I will be able to breath slow and relax myself.
However, in my country, i rarely enjoy this kind of weather, because qingdao is a city where nearby the sea. The weather is always cold and freezing, especially in the winter. The temperature drops below 0 degree and snow everyday. I really do not like to walk in snow days, it is uncomfortable.
So, I kind of fall in love with the weather in California. There is no much rain here and sunny everyday. I may enjoy the weather everyday. I feel satisfied and happy in California.

Old Fears
Hi, everyone. For me, I used to be afraid of speaking in front of people like giving a speech or introduce myself. I believe i was borned to be extremely shy, because everytime teachers asked to give a presentation or speech. I felt extremely nervous. As a result, I always failed to speak in front of people.
However, I took human communication class last semester. It was a really chanlleneged class to me, becuase we were required to give 2 formal speeches in front of students. I could not take it, but I told myself if I failed this time, I would not be able to overcome my fear. Everytime before speech, I preacticed whole night long in order to make it perfect. I gave myself confidence to stand in frond of American stduents. Fortunately, I successfully presented each speech fulently and smoothly. I actually got a good grade in the end.
Now, I am able to give a speech in public or do a presentation alone. I believe through practices, I have overcome my fear. When I face my fears, I practice for thousabd times and give myself more confidence. Then, I may be able to overcome my fears.
