Few month ago, it was first time that i take the time with my foreigner friends in sea.I am so surprised about we go the sea at noon. it is time that the sun is super strong.In my country,it is impossible that people stay at a sea around twelve o'clock am.Because almost people worry about the skin color will turn dark when you are under sun.Actually, we prefer stay home as the sun is strong. we think the skin color is white as like milk, is pretty. And we don't like chocolate skin color, it looks like poor and dirty.
However, I told my friend, they disagree my point.They thin the white skin looks like pale and sick.
In fact,my friend always said they like my skin color,it is so blonde.But i feel half happy and half sad.

WHICH SKIN COLOR DO I HAVE
A few months ago, it was the first time that I spent time with my foreigner friends at the seaside. I was so surprised that we went to the sea at noon. It is the time when the sun is super strong. In my country, it is impossible that people go to the seaside around twelve o'clock am. because almost people worry that their skin color will turn dark when you are under sun. Actually, we prefer stay home when the sun is strong. we think that if the skin color is white like milk, it is pretty and we don't like chocolate skin color, it looks poor and dirty.I told my friends, however they disagree with my point of view.They think pale skin looks pale and sick.
In fact, my friends always said they like my skin color, it is so fair. But I feel half happy and half sad.
When I came back to my country, I needed to face the truth. So I bought a (parasol) sun umbrella from a vendor as I go to the seaside at noon. And my friends told me ''Don't cover my sun, please." On that day, only I had to enjoy having shade. This is a funny culture gap.
Hello Mia,
Your problem is quite common and even for English people. Originally it was thought that only poor people had suntans because they had to work outside in the sun all day, then people started to travel to foreign countries and most people wanted a tan to show that they had been to a foreign country. Now with everything we know about skin cancer many people are starting to stay out of the sun again. It's a funny world!
Your writing is nice but there are quite a few corrections - skin is fair and hair is blonde, you 'spend time with somebody doing something'. 'However' is usually used in the second sentence of a pair to show that it will be in contrast to the first sentence.
Hope this helps

A few month ago, it was first time that i take the time with my foreigner friends in sea I went to the beach with my foreign friends for the first time.I am so surprised about we go the sea was very surprised that we went there at noon. it is time that , when the sun is super strong. In my country, it is impossible that people stay people are never at a sea the beach around twelve o'clock am pm, because almost people worry about that their skin color will turn dark when you they are under sun. "worry about"后面应该有名词短语， “worry that”后面应该有分句 Actually, we prefer staying home as when the sun is strong. We think the skin color skin that is white as like milk is pretty. And we don't like chocolate skin color, because we think it looks like poor and dirty. "looks like"后边应该有名词短语或分句，“looks” 后边应该有形容词， 如：“He looks poor. He looks like he is poor. He looks like a poor man.”
In fact, my friends always said they like my skin color, it is so blonde tan. We use "blonde" for hair, "tan" for skin But i feel half happy and half sad.

great story, loved it, thanks for sharing it.
I've also experienced this cultural gap that you speak of on a few different occasions. Tanning at noon and just trying to sit still in the sun for as long you humanly can (in order to get your day's worth of tanning) didn't work well with my indian and arab friends, who after half an hour wondered if maybe we should find something else to do haha.
But seriously, to a certain extent in some parts of Europe having a dark tan is almost a sign of wealth /freedom. It means that you can afford AND have time to stay 2 weeks in Greece in high season.
