Many Chinese who travel to the US find that though they have studied English for years, they have to “relearn” it as soon as they arrive. When I first came to the US for graduate school, I found words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. I was a nervous foreigner. To talk like an American became one of my goals.
During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me. I learned later that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA.
So I imitated(模仿)the way native speakers talk , I made such good progress that American friends started to think highly of my English. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea.
Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise: If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent(口音), do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a record of their past cultural experience . As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My wish is to hold on to my cultural origins(起源). Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak. I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I take pride in who I am.
