There are a lot of different things between my country Iraq and America,
and these things make people's lives
difficult when they come from Iraq at first.
First of all, is the food. The food in my country is healthier than the food here. Most families in my country cook at home. In the U.S., most of families eat fast food in a restaurant, and the fast food is full of fat. Also the fruits in my country are natural. In the U.S. the fruits are full of chemicals. Another different thing is the social life. There isn't any social life in America. Everybody spends most of his time at work, and when he returns home, he wants to sleep immediately. In my country, the families visit each other many times, have fun and eat together . Last thing, the study in Iraq is free. But in the U.S., people have to pay a lot of money. Also in the U.S., people have to buy the books and the resources, but in Iraq the school and the university give the students books for free. Also the students can't go to any university they want. It depends on their degree in high school. But in America they can choose what they want to study. It's a good thing that the students choose what they want to study. I think there are bad things and good things in Iraq and America. And the difference between the two cultures makes life hard, but the Iraqi people try to adapt to the new culture.

I enjoyed reading this, I didn't know of all those differences between the U.S. and hear. Very insightful:)
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I'm sorry you have to deal and adapt to the differences here in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic for a post. Take it one step further than describing and analyze - think critically about what this says or why this is important/relevant.
