#1 Culture Shock

    Today, I want to tell a story about my first culture shock in the US. When I first arrived in Chicago. I used CTA train a lot to explore the city. It happened on the train. I was on the train when a lady sat in front of me talking on the phone with her son. I heard her tell her son that she would love him no matter what. I was very shocked because Chinese parents rarely say love to their children. Especially in public. They usually show their love through their actions. American culture is really different from Chinese culture. I think it is an interesting culture.

KENNY CHESNEY - "BEER IN MEXICO"      I watched Kenny Chesney's performance "Beer In Mexico". I really like the melody of this song. This song describes the protagonist escaping from his real problems and immersing himself in alcohol. It depicts the heat, beaches, music, and people of Mexico, as well as the protagonist forgetting all his troubles and enjoying the present scene.  repeated lyrics: I'm at these crossroads in my life And I really don't know which way to go So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Kenny Chesney started his music career while attending East Tennessee State University, where he played in local bars and honky-tonks.
