Freshmen, you must not step on these minefields‼ ️ (There are benefits at the end of the article)
Hello everyone, I was a freshman! I came from the United States in 2013, and the popular Hong Kong drama that year was "Rush to the Sky II", I just hummed Lin Zixiang's “Time will not go back, should let go of the memories in my heart, and I would like to try the taste of flying high again”Fly to the US on an international flight! ✈️
I study hotel management at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island (JWU /span>MBA, nowJWU's Yami Campus Ambassador, so I have to participate in this memory killing event. First of all, here is a photo of me as a freshman at the schoolPVD campus! I was so young at that time hahaha! 😂
After the photos are over, it's time to get to the point. As a veteran driver, I have summarized a few minefields that must not be stepped on when you come to the United States to study and live, so as to help you come to the United States to talk like tourists, not act stupid, and you can pretend to be forceful! 🙃
Minefield 1⃣️ : Others ask youHow are you? You must not answerI 'm fine, thank you!
Freshmen, please don't endorse like this! I know that everyone's English teachers teach this way in their English textbooks.
I remember my schooladvisor saw me and asked a questionhow are you!
I answered right awayI'm fine thank you!
He just saidyou must come from China!
I asked himhow do you know?
He immediately saidAll the students from China answer “I'm fine thank you” when they're asked “how are you” . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 < /span>
Yellow! Silly! So how should the answer be more compelling? 📌Please refer to the following:
🇺🇸 I'm good. How about you? I'm good ,And you?
🇺🇸 I'm alright/Not bad + Shrug means I'm not bad, I'm okay.
No more words to say after this, right? This is a must for freshmen. Old Mei will not, they will pull out all the things that happened to his three aunts and six wives, so you can also think about it, talk about the strange things you encountered on the plane, the joys of traveling, etc. Share it, just It won't be cold. 😉
Minefield 2⃣️ : Don't goDonkin DonutClickHamburger!
In China, it's really useless to memorize those few words. When we came to the United States, we used them all wrong. A fool like me, as soon as I saw a round three-layer bread with meat dishes🍔I thought it was called< span class="s2">Hamburger! I can't stop laughing now...
America's famous breakfast shopDonkin DonutsBreakfast sandwiches span>Sandwichand DonutsDonuts. So I proudly went in and ordered a Hamburger...The clerk said to me in anger:< span class="s2">we don't sell hamburger here!!! (Is something wrong with your brain?!)
So don't laugh like I do, recognize this sign! 👇👇👇👇👇
These are calledSandwich! Although it's not triangular! 👇
This is calledHamburger! 👇
Minefield 3⃣️ : Do not buy a contract machine of ATT!
I was taken when I first cameATTbought a contract< /span>iphone, submit first199Knife, and then pay 69money bill every month, and the two-year contract can fully unlock this machine.
I tell you, this advertised69, when the actual payment is made Approaching90knife! Because it has too many hidden taxes, government miscellaneous fees, etc. It's so expensive! And you pay so much money every month, after two years, iphone 5 are updated to iphone 100000Is it interesting? If you want to switch to another operator in the middle, you have to call customer service, do this and that, and pay a fine.
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Okay, these are the three minefields I want to share. I hope you take notes carefully and don’t step on them!
Studying in the United States is a difficult time, but it is also very joyful and precious! Finally, here are the freshman photos I took over the years!

新生,这几个雷区你千万不能踩‼️(文末有福利)
大家好,我曾是新生!我是2013年来的美国,那一年热播的港剧是《冲上云霄二》,我就是哼着林子祥的“光阴不会往后退、应抛开心中忆记,愿再试高飞的滋味”搭乘国际航班飞往美国的!✈️
我就读罗德岛的强生威尔士大学(JWU)酒店管理MBA,现在是JWU的亚米校园大使,所以这个回忆杀活动我必须参加一下。首先,先奉上一张新生的我在学校PVD校区的留影!那时的我是那么的青春啊哈哈哈!😂
爆完照,是时候进入正题。作为老司机,我总结了几个来美国读书生活必不可踩的几个雷区,帮助你们来到美国说话不像游客、行为不傻,可以淡定地装装逼!🙃
雷区 1⃣️:别人问你How are you? 你千万别答I’m fine, thank you!
新生,请真的千万千万别这样背书!我知道大家的英语老师英语课本都是这么教的。
我记得学校的advisor看到我,问了一句how are you!
我就马上答了一句I’m fine thank you!
他就说you must come from China!
我问他how do you know?
他马上说All the students from China answer “I’m fine thank you” when they’re asked “how are you”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
黄了吧!傻了吧!那应该怎么答才会有逼格一点呢?📌请参考如下:
🇺🇸 I’m good. How about you? 我挺好的,你呢?
🇺🇸 I’m alright/Not bad + 耸耸肩 意思是我还不错,过得去。
说完这些就没话说了吧?这是新生必须会遇到的。老美可不会,他们会把他家里三姑六婆发生的所有事都拉出来扯,所以你也可以想一下,讲讲在飞机上遇到的奇葩怪事啦,旅游的开心事啦等等分享一下,就不会冷场了。😉
雷区 2⃣️:别去Donkin Donut点Hamburger!
在国内,我们背来背去那几个单词真的没啥卵用,来到美国全用错了。傻逼如我,一看到圆形三层的面包夹肉菜🍔就觉得那叫Hamburger!我现在忍着不笑……
美国著名的早餐店Donkin Donuts里面卖的是早餐三文治Sandwich和甜甜圈Donuts。于是我很自豪地走进去点起了Hamburger……店员气炸了对我说:we don’t sell hamburger here!!! (你脑子有毛病吗?!)
所以你千万别像我那么栋笃笑,认好这个招牌!👇👇👇👇👇
这些叫Sandwich! 虽然它不是三角形的!👇
这个才叫Hamburger!👇
雷区 3⃣️:不要买ATT的合同机!
我刚来的时候就是被带去ATT买了个合同iphone,先交199刀,然后每个月付69钱话费,合同两年就可以完全解锁这一台机。
我告诉你,这个宣传的69,到真正付款的时候就是接近90刀!因为它还有太多隐含的税费、政府杂七杂八费用等等。真是贵到飞了!而且你每个月交那么多钱,交完两年,iphone 5 都更新到iphone 100000了,有意思吗?中途想转其他营运商,要打电话给客服,办这办那,交罚款,真是一身🐜!
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
好了,以上就是三个我要分享的雷区,希望你们认真做笔记,千万不要踩!
来美国读书的光阴很艰难,但也很快乐很珍贵!最后奉上那些年我拍过的新生照片!
🌸🍃🌸🍃🌸🍃🌸🍃🌸🍃🌸🍃🌸🍃🌸🍃

👏 JWU的女同学!晚上没事可以散步去Harborside的足球场那里看看老美帅哥哦!👇

希望你们喜欢我的分享啦!别忘了给我点赞哦!👍
