我想你用的“美”不太准确。中国的“美”和你那儿的“美”有点儿不一样。 可能该说“享受命中的每秒短时”。还有，拍最美的照片是中国人争取的方位。没什么 grandiose 意义，只是一种乐趣。我在中国时，我遇到好多好多想跟我拍照片的本地人，他们想给朋友看看，比一比谁有更好的少见的老外白女人的照片。有很多朋友教我怎么被拍的，但是我还是不太喜欢被拍的，我宁肯拍别人的照片。东亚人真的是“拍照片的师父”。

I disagree about "testing out" because you still have to fulfill a certain number of credit hours, you just start out at a higher level. For example, if your Major is a Foreign Language and it requires 16 Credit Hours and you test out of 1st and 2nd year of that language, you can start out at 3rd year of that language but you still have to fulfill 16 credit hours. That is 16 credit hours of that language unless the university does not have enough classes, instead they will have you take something else similar, like if your Major is Chinese, then they will require you to take the extra hours in Japanese or Chinese History or East Asian Religions, etc. You still have to complete the full number of "hours" required under your major. Some high schools have college AP classes that count as College credit hours, these are classes that are considered so high a level that they count towards college - but they are NOT easy classes, they are perhaps cheaper for the credit hours. The problem is, not all colleges will accept the AP class as credit, usually only local colleges will, another state's school probably will not.

我的爱好： 每一个早上我起得很早。有的早上我会有点儿空闲，这时我平常一边喝咖啡一边看书。我还喜欢跑步；跟我丈夫吃饭的那一天，我们还会一起跑步。我最喜欢慢跑，不喜欢很热烈地跑。 晚上我常常看电影，我最爱看美国的电影。 星期六我和朋友们都喜欢一起出去玩儿。我们会在饭馆里吃美味的菜、跳舞，和唱歌。 虽然我跳舞，跳得不好，但是我还愿意跳舞，反而我唱歌唱得特别好听。 我另外个爱好就是旅游。我喜欢在国外旅游；我今年很想去土耳其旅游。 *Notes: 在中国，饭馆（旅馆）一般没有跳舞场所和KTV。中国有很多自我开的公司，每一家公司有他自己得特点，比如KTV公司会给你杯酒、零食，但是一般没有舞蹈场。餐厅有自己的食物特点，做海鲜不会做包子、饺子，等等。还有，去酒吧跳舞的人一般不是“好人”而是那些婚外的人或者卖自己的身体的人。这是南边的风俗习惯，不知道北方一样。
