It’s because you both have different personalities. Then what is personality? It’s about how people think, behave and react to everything around them. So what makes people think and behave in certain ways? Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its genes (基因) and blood type (血型) when it is still inside its mother. These may help decide what the baby will be like. But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. But this doesn’t mean you can’t change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried if you don’t have a good personality. ________ This is a good way to start making changes. For example, if you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? If so, tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people kindly. But don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. After all, it’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Just keep trying, one day you can see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you! 26.

The trip’s purpose is to help Chinese and American students learn about each other’s cultures and make friends. The students joined classes at local schools. At first, the American students were a bit worried, because they thought the Chinese students didn’t speak English well. However, their Chinese friends soon showed they could communicate clearly. For all the students, cultural activities were fun. The Chinese students taught the American students paper-cutting, Chinese writing, and how to make dumplings— though Liu Ruiqin joked that their first try looked messy. American students shared popular songs, films, and common English words. Jiang Zheng found it funny when her classmates asked how to say “stop talking” in Chinese. Even with some language problems, students became close friends. Though he is back in China now, Liu Ruiqin still keeps in touch with his American friends through WeChat. Once, he shared photos of yuanxiao with them during the Lantern Festival. The trip showed that talking to each other breaks down walls. As Jiang Zheng said, “Without communication, there’s no understanding.” American students will visit China next year to keep building these special friendships. 61.
