Opinion on Tuition

  As an international students, I think the tuition is a little expensive. Although college's tuition is cheaper than university, it is still more than my hometown's standard. In China, the tuition is about two thousand dollars half year for university. However, I should pay about five thousand dollars for half year here. First of all, I should pay international student's fee and it costs a lot. The mail reason is that Seattle's colleges have more great services and the teacher have better educational methods for students. That's why parents let their children study in the U.S.

My language, Chinese

     There are many differences between English and Chinese. I've learned Chinese for about ten years. Most of people think that it is a diffficult language.

In Chinese, there are lots of words that we can pronounce them by the same sound. Therefore, many people cannot distinguish Chinese words by what people pronounce.
