I read Sunghun's story"Go Buckeyes" , this is a interesting story with deep buckeye style. The football can be a symbol of OSU, when there is a football game, everyone is red,at first i was confuse about why whey are so excited. Soon i found out it's their love, so many people love football, also it's buckeye's honor.I want to know the process of entering and going out. because there is too many people.

The same as you, it's diffcult way to come to american. when was in hongkong airport , i meet i really big problem, which can be the biggest problem i have ever meet. When i was told to make i DTS, this thing come into my head immediately, i decide to make my DTS around this topic.
I have a planed to go with other 18 students to OUS and i meet them at airport. When i entered the waiting room, the stuff didn't allow me in. they said that i have to show my "HK permit". I show my passport to them but they said it's useless. When i enter HK, i use the "HK permit" to enter and after that my parents said when a enter the airport the passport is enough so they took away my HK permit. What's more, there is only one phone can be used in hongkong, and i carry it. when i rush out of the waitting room, my parents already gone. There is no choice for me except putting off my trip. after that i sent message to my parents, when they cellphone can use their saw my message and sent my HK permit back,finally i could get on plane.

When I decided to study in American, I knew that there will be lots of challenges waiting for me. I tried to prepare for all of that, but when those troubles shocked my life, I realized that I can never prepare for everything.

The first trouble arrived when I was in HONGKONG airport, which might be the biggest problem I have ever met yet. When I entered HONKKONG,I used my “Permit for Proceeding to Hong Kong and Macau” which is commonly known as “two-way exit permit” to get the permission. But before I entered the airport my father told me passport is enough , so they took away my two-way exit permit. But what happened next proved that my father was wrong. The staff said I must show my HK permit, because only the permit can prove how I entered HK. When I got out of the airport, my parents had left. What’s more, there was only one phone which could be used in HK, unfortunate, I carried it but my parents didn’t .Thus there was no chance for me to get in touch with my parents in time. The only choice left was putting off my trip and sending a message to my parent to make sure they knew what happened to me When my parents got out of HONGKONG they saw the short message I left for them several hours later. They sent my permit back so I successfully caught the next day’s airplane.

After arriving at OSU, everything was unfamiliar. even eating in osu restaurant was different. I didn’t know I should handle the things left after finishing my meals, I didn't know what exactly the food is and what name it is, didn’t know what I took back from Target was coffee beans instead of soluble coffee. I didn’t know how to enter the morrill tower when there are two huge travelling bags with me.

But all of above wasn't a big deal. What was really a big deal is adjusting to the food. Since I arrived, I had diarrhea for more than two weeks. After two week’s suffering, I decided to make food by myself. I bought an electric cooker, rice vegetable, noodles, meat, and made food by myself. I learned how to make food on internet and it did work. In fact it was my first time to make food, so it doesn’t taste good, but my upset stomach went away. After I had so much experience in cooking, I held a dinner party which served several chafing dish. Many Chinese came to my room and tasted my food, which made me feel proud.

Another thing that drove me crazy was my chemistry lab! I dropped the GEO 200 to take my CHE121 class, so I miss the first chemistry lab class! Then I found how many things I have missed. My TA told me I should go to the CHE 1000 room. I needed my TA’s signature to set up an account and then I can enter the CHE 1000 to see some safe video after that, but my TA was not on work hours, I went straight to the CHE1000 room for help and another TA said he can sign his name for me so I finally can get the video. After that I was given a drawer, which was the last one of my laboratory. When I found it, there was no lock on it. I had to get my TA’s permission which can prove I need a lock. And this time, other TA’s permission doesn’t work. So I got my lock 2day after that when I sew my TA.

It was just an short time after arriving here but I know this story will continue for a long time in the future and I will try my best to make it wonderful.

I come from china. In china i start to learn english when i was 9. It has been long time since i learnt english. There are still lots of trouble for me when i using it after arriving US. When i was in primary school, i found that many things i cann't write down because i don't know how. Now i meet this problem when i'm using english. Vocabulary, that is the biggest problem.But it was just that. The changing of the words it's really hard to control. When i focus on make a sentence, tense often been forgotttn.Tense like simple past tense， progressive tense， present perfect tense， past perfect tense are really tough thing to learn it。
In the article “Cheating Across Cultures”，the writer discribe many things which was the turth in my opinion。In fact in china， copy the original text is important way to show our respect to the resource. For this reason, we recite lots of article and inthis way to show the respect。What‘s more， recite all article seems more important than get the idea。But when i came to US，i was told that it’s plagiarism， that turth really shock me。i realize that the culture background it's really a big problem for our international students. If we don't pay much more attention to this, we might be assumed plagiarism.

The question “In a peer discussion group, you were asked to discuss your paper before you started writing it. One of the members of your group gave you an interesting idea. Do you need to cite the idea in your paper just as you would cite a quotation from a paper?” is the one of queation i interested. I have been confused about it for long time. When we disscuss with others, there always new idea come up in our mind, and the new one would lead to another new one. i believe this part of idea can be the most valuable one. When we use it, how can we do to avoid the suspicion of plagiarism. that question give me the answer. Those idea can be use in our paper, for safety wec can cite personal communication on it.

Another interesting question is:"In your 108 course, you are asked to write a research paper. You are new in the field, and much of what you know is from textbooks. This information is called common knowledge, and you don't know if you are supposed to cite it."we are fresh men, so we might face this problem in real world. in fact in china those knowledge be use in any place withour citing, because it's common knowledge, it's just in the book, teacher know where it's, so we don't matk it. but in here, that would be plagiarism, because it has copyright.if i don't do this question, i might be assumed plagiarizing.

when i made my DTS, there are lots of trouble i met. First one is dealing with my voice. i record my voice but when i edit it i found out that only one side have sound! It 's a big problem, and i still can not solve it.so i have to make the Dts story with only on side have sound that really uncomfortable. i plan to make my story funny but there is 3 different topic in my story and they are in different style. so i decide to use three different music with it. But that was simple like it look like. first i have to decide which part should use which music.i seclet three music: mission impossible, music of mario and a music i heard in a game which have no name.after that i have to use Audacity open it. and cut i part which should just that long as one story in my DTS. Then i should paste it in my voice mp3 file.after do this for three time, i almost finish the sound part.but i found out that the music it too noisy, so i reduce it. it's challenge but really interesting, because i solve those problem. it feel good, really good. No body dealing the sound part as good as me! that's a different thing with writting a paper. it's power then the paper.i know both of it transmit information. but as a story, use the really picture and your voice can let the listener feel much more close.

Intellectual property is also a big problem for me. i found some really good picture.but when i found it,i didn't record the website i found it.when i do the final step i discover it.i try to found it again but i fail. So i have to change the picture. through this DTS, i Know how to quote the resource, and in fact it's the first time i make something with copyright.
