CHILE Carlos Giacaman Carlos likes California very much because it is similar to his country in customs and geography. There is a big difference about cities, though. Carlos states, The cities have big buildings, and there aren't many gardens, only in the surroundings. He also finds people in the U.S. to be very nice, friendly, and of a very good sense of humor. When asked what American things he likes, he replied, l like all American food. My favorite game is basketball. Being an outstanding student, Carlos came to the U.S. on a scholar- ship. He is very careful in defining terms, and upon com- pleting a general questionnaire of likes, dislikes, similarities, and differences between his country and America, he offered an idea worth remembering: When you say, for instance: 'Your favorite American entertainment,' do you mean the U.S. or South America? Because South America is America too. Isn't it? I think you should say: North America. This is only a suggestion! -What does Carlos plan to do after graduation? Go to the Air Force Academy. gk GREAT BRITAIN Graham Start Graham was amazed at the abundance -of the phrase CHARGE IT! when he first arrived in America from Liverpool, England. ln England, there isn't much of that at alI. According to Graham, the stores in England are also a bit more personalized and not so mechanical. But he does find the American people always willing to help out. One thing he likes about the U.S. is that the trips are longer- mainly because of the land space. In England the trips are so small you can drive from one end to the other in less than a day. American schools are also very different. There are very few co-ed schools, and we receive no grades. We have eight subjects and are given a percent instead of letter grade, A, B, C. The schedule for each day is different, but each week is the same. We also stay with the same class all the way through. 5 I ,V 4, ,.,.. , 1, X X! 2 7, Q! ','f,VCQf .5 Km. ,..
