They organized a lot of activities for me in my free time so that I wouldnt miss home.However, life in the US was difficult to get used to. My main problem was the language.I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Another one was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad, but I missed dumplings, rice and delicious dishes a lot, especially barbecue(烧烤). It was very famous in Qiqihar.It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me. I understood more about American culture. My American friends asked me many questions about life in China, and this made me think about my own culture as well.

Everybody wears them, from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives. But why have jeans become so popular? Youll get many answers. For some people they look cool, for others jeans are just comfortable.Jeans were first stronger trousers made for farm workers in the states of the American west. In the eastern part of the US jeans were hardly worn at all. They were connected with farm people and the workers. So the rich wouldnt like to wear them.It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them. They were a symbol of the rebellion of young people during the 1950s and 1960s. So these new trousers were not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. As time went on, jeans became more acceptable. American people in Europe and Japan often wore them when they were not on duty to show that they were Americans. The trousers showed the world a happier way of life, something people needed, especially after what they had gone through in World War II.Jeans had other advantages as well. They didnt need to be washed as often as other trousers and women didnt need to iron（熨烫） them. This became more important as more and more women started working and had less time for housework.Today jeans are an important part of our lives.
