I have been dificulty in speaking English as most foreigners did. As soon as I arrived here, I hoped I might understand and speak English in 3 months. Now I realiz it was very selfish and foolish thoughts. My accent and intonation different from native speaker, and lack of vocabulary block communication with American people.
And differnt food style is also stressful to me. Whenever I go to mart for buying some foods, I always buy the same kind of vegetable and meat because I don't know well. Somtimes eating meat so much becomes stress because I have to be careful to gain weight. Different language and food culture are the most stressful to me even though I came here to study English. Besides, a lot of homework to do is one of stressors.
I think that the most important method to adapting in this situation is to admit myself. Before trying to change many things, accepting the fact that having difficulty can be reasonable is the first. And then, it is helpful to compare me in 1 month ago with myself in the present. Sometimes recollecting the past helps us have the thankful heart. Actually, I used to recollect my past and compare to the present. Stress caused by English needs time. I like cooking and baking. Cooking special menu or baking sweat bread make me refreshing. I forget the stress during cooking. Especially, spicy Korean food makes me pleasant. If you have some trouble or stress, I would like to recommend cooking or eating delicous food. After eating, light exercising or walking will prevent you from gaining weights.

what you have said is a real fact.Unfortunately I do not know how to cook even though my traditional food !!
This will cause stress more than what you have just mentioned ,especially to me!!!
i absolutely agree with you!! You know what, it's hard to cook chinese food there either! the vegetable, meat and even rice are different from those in china, and there has no fire ovens, you cannot imagine how hard to cook chinese food by using electronic ovens.
I like to listen your talking in our classes. They are very useful to me.When you speak something, you do not hesitate.
Cookies made by your hand are really delicious.
I don't think so!!! I think that you are doing pretty well and you gonna improve your english sooner than you think!!! Also it is hard for me find the ingredients to cook venezuelan food, but everytime that i can find them, i do it!!! by the time, you will find a way to figure out, and will be able to cook Korean food, you will see!!!
You have wise advice--to compare your English level to when you arrived rather than to what you hope to achieve. Your English has improved!
For you guys, Mc and KFC are the finest choices.
You are a nice person and a good student. I often learn something from you.^^
