I was frightened at my first day of classes at an American university. It was my first time to sit with so many Americans in a classroom. Unlike many other classmate, I sat quietly by myself. My teacher spoke fast and I had a hard time understand him. English, without a doubt, is the hardest thing I experienced so far. Though I'm a Chinese student, communicating fluently with Americans can be really difficulty. Therefore, I have to struggle to understand that is being said in class. Reading and writing is equally as important as listening and speaking. When my classes started to get busy, the readings got longer. The papers also got harder, and that's when real disaster struck.
