This friend taught me a lot about American 1 ,but in some cas I had to learn the 2 way, becau we didn’t have enough time together for me to learn all about American culture from him.
One day this same friend invited me to a party. It wasn’t a(n) 3 party, only some kind of informal get-together. Since it was 4 time, we had a cookout, 5 most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before.
It was the most 6 party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and si
mple T-shirts for the day, 7 I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party. It was hard to explain my embarrassment(窘迫)to the other 8 .When one of them turned around and said, “What nice clothes! What’s the occasion?” I felt my 9 burning hot. I didn’t 10 at all. If she knew how 11 I already felt, she wouldn’t have said that to me.
Maybe she didn’t 12 to make me feel uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt.
Many times I thought of going home and 13 but I knew they would 14 .It
would be even 15 for me becau I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of 16 .So I wanted to pretend that I was 17 ....
I have already realized their 18 are different from mine. They care less about formality(形式) 19 it is a special occasion, like a 20 or a very formal invitation.
