My name is Brad Li. I'm here tday t tell yu abut my experience as an exchange student in the United Stated States last year.
I must admit that at first America was a big culture shk fr me. Many things were strange t me: the language, the fd and even the schl.
I stayed with a hst family in a small tw. My hst parents, Mr and Mrs Hurst, were very kind. They rganized a lt f activities fr me in my spare time s that I wuldn't miss hme r feel lnely.
Hwever, t a certain degree, life in the US was hard t get used t. My main prblem was with the language. I failed t understand much in the first few weeks because everyne spke s fast. Thugh I sn managed t get used t it, I still had prblems because they used a lt f idims. Fr example, they ften say they are "under the weather" when they are ill.
Their everyday English is very different frm what we learn in China.
Anther difference was the fd. My hst family always had bread, ptates and salad fr meals. I really missed the dumplings, rice and delicius dishes frm hme.
Schl was a big shck t. They d nt require students t wear unifrms, s students can wear almst whatever they like. Sme students have strange hairstyles as well. Sme students even have pink r purple hair!
Anyway, I have many great memries f that year, especially playing in the snw in winter, and playing baseball. At Hallween, I went t a party dressed as Harry Ptter. At Thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey.
It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable educatin fr me. Nw I understand mre abut American culture. My American friends asked me many questins abut life in China, and this made me think abut my wn culture as well.

①We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in ur daily life. Have yu thught abut their meanings in films? Much like clrs, different shapes can shw different features f characters in the scenes.
② Circles represent things that are sft and natural. The rund shape reminds us f things that appear in nature, like the sun, raindrps and s n. We can als cnnect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ rund faces… All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why s many cartn characters' bdies---heres, gd peple---are rund in shape, because circles represent gdness, happiness and friendliness.
③ Squares shw things that are unnatural r man-made, r things that are bring r ld-fashined. In the cartn film Up, Carl has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-ld by with a rund face, always wears rund medals. These shapes shw the characters' persnalities. Carl is stubbrn（固执的） and lnely, while Russell is lvely and full f energy.
④ The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid wh draws a mnster with sharp teeth draws a rw f triangles, dn't they? That's because the shape represents fear, distrust and dubt in sme way. Lk at the bad guys in cartns---they are all drawn with plenty f pints and triangles, like Shengngba in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable（稳固的） and dn't easily fall dwn. In films, this feature makes bad peple difficult t deal with.
⑤ Nt nly in cartns, but als in ther kinds f films, different shapes are used fr the same purpse. S, try t find the hidden shapes and yu will knw what the characters are like.
