When I arrived Arriving in USA - Could you please correct it? Thank you! :)
There were a lot of are many things that I needed to learn when I first moved to the United States. Those These things were not easy, especially if you have to learn them in New York City. The first thing I had to learn was where I could find finding important places like supermarkets, drugstores, and subways. Secondly, Then I had to learn a little some English, then I would be able to ask informations. At last, with a very hard time, Finally it was very difficult in I had to learn how to renting an apartment.
In During my first month in NY, I could stay in a temporary house at in midtown, Manhattan. It was
pretty frightening to see all that craziness. People are always busy and running; the lights, the stores, so many cars and too so much noise noisy. At this time, All this while, I was in had to take charge to take care of my temporary home and do all the regular deal with the daily hores. A simple things like going to the market turned into a complex affair. Once, I went to the supermarket and asked to an employee where I could can find "shoyu". and nobody could answer it. No one could knew what it was. Finally, then, I figured that in America I found out that in the US, "shoyu" is called soy sauce. It was funny. At that the same time, I could figure also knew that drugstores don't cannot sell any kind of prescribed medicines without no a doctor's prescriptions. But This was a minor problem since I had brought my own medicines from my country. The biggest problem was with the subways. I got was lost so many times. Sometimes I took the right train but heading the wrong direction. At other times, I took the right line, but the local train instead the express one train.
In the beginning, it was really difficult for me when I had to speak English at the begining. A lot of Many times, I wrote all the basic and useful phrases in a tiny small notebook basic and useful sentences. I could use them in a emergency situations like when I got was lost at in the subway, or got be confused with the streets.
Finding a place to live in NYC was a big problem as well. I did not know the neighborhoods well enough to know if it is an expensive area to live . either its costs. For our lucky, my Brazilians friends helped my husband and I to choose the best place to live within our means we could . We tried to get a good place with a fair price and with nearby subways stations. And We thought that it would be impossible. But but it did was not. We got it at found a place during the last weekend of our stay in the temporary house.
I think believe that all these problems was were important to us, because we could improve our abilities, to get be more self confidentce and to learn new things. You can look at your problems as they are scary as a storms, or you can look them like as a big great challenge ing that will make you a better person.
Well done. From nothingness to be able to write such a long essay. You have much to learn in the English language but you have journeyed far to this stage. Keep on writing and get corrected. Now that you have a grasp of communicating in some daily English, your next step is to further yourself. We are here to help you. At least you are now living in a place where English is spoken widely. You can practise the oral aspects of the language easily but better an environment than those living in places where the language is hardly spoken. Again well done for your efforts.
