过感恩节,第一次去教堂

http://www.sina.com.cn 2002/09/06 18:13  国际学生交流协会

Dear friend:

  How is everything going? I have a really good Thanksgiving holiday. No homework, no study! Oh my god! I'm so happy with that, you know, sometimes all the teachers thought you students are having a long holiday or weekend, lets have some homework! That sucks! I had a really busy week before thanksgiving cause I had to prepare for two tests, worst of all, I was sick during the time I plan to study. I had to finish all the study right before the tests. Well, I think I did it pretty well.

  My host family hosted an exchange student from Germany five years ago. She is studying in college in Virginia. They have a weeklong thanksgiving holiday, so she brings her friend who is college exchange student from England. We have an international Thanksgiving. Taiwan, Germany, England and America. We had a wonderful time. We ate all the delicious food, desert and the host mom even made cookies and candies. In short, we just eat, eat, eat and eat as pigs. This is my first thanksgiving.

  Few weeks ago, my host family went to the church the first time since I got here. They used to go to the church pretty often but because I have a different religion, they don't want me to feel uncomfortable staying at home when they go to the church. I surprised my host parent when I tell them I want to go with them. They said only a few exchange student, they hosted go to church with them. I don't really know why I choose to go with them. I just feel curious about the church. I've never been to a church when I was in Taiwan. People in the church speak so fast and there so many words I don't understand. Sometimes they stand up and sometimes they bend on their knees. Sometimes they read the lines in the book and sometimes they sing. Actually, I totally got confused. I don't remember what they were talking about, but there's one thing I'm sure of, even all the religions have different traditions and stories, they all teach people to be happy and thankful, and wishing the world we live will be better!

亲爱的朋友:

  一切顺利吗?我过了一个真正的感恩节。没作业,不用学习!太棒了!!这些让我太高兴了,你知道的,有时老师们告诉你要放一个长假或过一个周末,但却留好多作业。简直太糟了!因为要准备俩门考试,我在放假之前整整忙了一周,可那时正准备学习的时候我却病了,我不得不停下来。庆幸的是,后来一切都很顺利。

  五年前,我的主人家庭接待了一个德国交流学生。现她正在维及尼亚的一所大学立学习。最近她们有一周的长假,所以她带着朋友,同校的一个英国交流学生来到家里。我们举行了一个国际聚会:台湾、德国、英国和美国。我们象小猪一样不停的吃各种美味,玩的很开心。这是我的第一个感恩节。

  几周前,主人家庭带我去了教堂,这也是我的第一次。我与他们的宗教信仰不同,且他们习惯经常去教堂,但他们又担心我一个人在家不习惯,所以当我提出要和他们一起去时,他们真的很惊讶。他们说只有少数交流学生愿意去教堂。其实我也不知道为什么去,大概只是好奇吧。我在台湾从没去过教堂的。教堂里人们诵读圣经的速度很快,好多字我都听不懂。他们有时站起,有时跪下。我被弄糊涂了,也记不清他们说了些什么。但有一点可以肯定,虽然所有的宗教都有不同的传说和故事,但它们都在教导着人们要感恩要追求幸福,祈祷我们的世界会更好!
