Last year, I went to a summer camp in the United Sates with my classmates. It was my first time to go abroad.
I lived with a host family in Los Angeles for five days. My host family was friendly and gave me lots of advice. For example, they said I should say “excuse me” if I have to interrupt（打断）someone or ask for directions.
I also took some classes. They were different from the classes I’ve had back home. In the US, each class is like a seminar. Students join in groups, speaking freely and creating a cheerful atmosphere（氛围）. I had to work hard to learn more vocabularies, so that I could better communicate with my international classmates. I used to play little attention to my word usage（使用）,but now I pay more attention.
During my visit, I also went to some famous universities in Boston, New York and Washington. We learned abut the history behind the universities. At MIT（麻省理工学院）, we saw lots of names on a wall in the hall. The tour guide told us they were the names of students who had lost their lives during wars. I was inspired（鼓舞）by the fact that they fought for their country.
