Exercise 5 – editing
I am writing these words in English because I need the practice. At this moment, I am
waiting to get on an airplane. I’m on my way to a year of study at Columbia University in
the United States. It’s a ten-hour flight so I will have gotten some sleep by the time we will
land. I am looking forward to being there, but I am also a little afraid. What do I find when
I will get to America? Will the Americans be arrogant and unfriendly? Will I make any
friend? Will I be happy? My best friend back home in Nigeria said, “You don’t won’t
make any real friends when you’ll you are there.” I am not so sure. I guess I will find out.
September 20
I have been here in New York for a month now, and I have found that things are a lot
different from what I expected. The majority of people here are friendly. They go out of
their way to help you if you need it, and my American friends invite me to go places. Soon,
I’m going to go hiking with a group from my dormitory.
Two of the ideas I had about the united states, however, seem to be true. One is that
Americans pay more attention to rules than people do in Nigeria, for example, American
drivers will seem to obey traffic laws more often than Nigerian drivers do. The other idea is
about the American family. In Nigeria, the family is very important, but some Nigerian
people think the family means nothing in United States. I think it might be true, since my
American friends almost never mention their parents or their brothers and sisters. Anyway,
I am going to have a chance to see a real American family. I’m going to go with my
roommate Susan to spend Thanksgiving break with her family in Pennsylvania. When I see
her family, maybe I’m going to I will understand more
