My daughter performed on behalf of her class in the annual school concert today. She played so 36
that I could not help cheering her. The very scene reminded me of her experiences of piano practicing.
When she was five, we gave her a piano as a birthday present. With great _37 , she began learning it. However, when she was no longer curious, she became sick of it. _38 , it is a tough job to learn the piano, not to mention the daily routine of practice .
When her first teacher left, my friend _ 39_ me to an American teacher whose way of teaching was completely American. After practicing, she would give my daughter some __40_ comments, and then point out what should be improved. Every time she came,_41_ beginning the lesson right away, she would first play some music. She said, “To learn the piano, you should learn not only the skills of playing, but more importantly, to _42 the music and love it.”
After some time, my daughter became fond of her lessons. Sometimes she __43__ would like to show off a little bit when her skill had reached a certain level. Surprisingly, my daughter said to me one day, “Mom, I was _44_ that you didn’t give up my piano lessons. Learning it is like climbing a mountain. You’ll feel _45_ when you are on the way. When you look _46_ from where you are, you will realize that you have been making progress. But if you _47_, you’ll never take one more step.” That was the very thing I wanted to teach her.

I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting．
First, family life is quite
36
in China． In the USA, many young people
37
home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is
38
for people to live with their parents until they get married．
39
, many of my Chinese friends told me that their
40
lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important
41
the Chinese think family relationships are more important．
Bargaining is another
42
that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are
43
and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are
44
to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent
45
the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should
46
to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to
47
if you live in China．
Tipping hasn’t been easier to
48

49
want to get
50
money for serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture．
51
I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little
52
and refused to take the money．
In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their
53
． Actually, this is a
54
of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just
55
the food in the plate．

the possibilities, you can make a final
53
and select the work you love as your own.
