Ⅰ.阅读理解
There are many changes that can happen in a person's life.Some changes are very small and would not affect your life very much.However, other events could be very important and could change a person's whole life.The important event that changed my life is coming to the United States to study.
When first arriving in this country, I realized that a great transformation (转变) would happen in my life both physically and mentally.After spending more than two months in the United States, I firmly believe that moving to the United States is a beneficial change for me.This change provides me a chance to lead healthy lifestyle as well as a new way of thinking that are important for me.
It is necessary to have this change as it offers me a healthy lifestyle.Before coming to the United States, I used to stay up late at night to study and wake up early in the morning.This could cause me to get sick easily.When I decided to come to America, I made up my mind and determined to keep healthy routine (惯例).For example, enjoy the Americanstylemeal which includes having a fresh salad instead of cooked vegetables.This method of cooking vegetables helps me absorb more vitamins from them.
Additionally, this most important change enables me to think differently and internationally.This is my first time living in NorthAmerica country.Hence, I have a brand new chance to experience a new culture.By knowing more about different cultures, I have become more considerate and understanding of various habits as well as behaviors from different races.
Since I came here, I have changed my eating and sleeping habits in a good way.Thus, this change is very important and beneficial for me.
