Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me to find a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed. And I, in turn, felt a little foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply hoping to follow the advice that my mother had given me years before: When things get embarrassing, smile. No matter where you are, a smile will always be understood. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother’s advice didn’t work.
Just at that time, I was asking myself questions and concerns of any 13-year-old child on the first day of school: Where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention, how would I make friends when I didn’t even speak the language? My heart was beating fast, and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to be calm so as not to let others know just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl”, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had
questions; others wanted to practise their English with me. Because I didn’t speak much Chinese yet, I talked with the other students through body language mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Although I was focused on, I wasn’t sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they were curious about me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all, I was the first American ever to attend the school. So, we were all first-timers.
Then came the first class—Chinese painting.
As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, who was next to me, gave me a warm smile.

答案： Then came the first class—Chinese painting. The teacher showed us how to use a brush to paint bamboo on a piece of white paper. Then all the other students were in business. But it was quite difficult for me. How could I hold the brush and make it go as I wished? Hesitating for a while, I tried dipping the brush into the ink bottle. When I took it out, drops of black ink fell on the white paper. There was no bamboo, but big black dots!
As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, who was next to me, gave me a warm smile. I smiled back awkwardly. He came over and demonstrated how to use the brush. He moved the brush across the paper, and a lively bamboo appeared! With his help, I finally completed the task, although it was such an ugly one. After that, we became good friends. He taught me Chinese while I taught him English. We both made great progress in our studies. Yes, my mother was right. A smile did make a difference.
