《入乡随俗》
    来中国半年多了，我已经渐渐地习惯了这里的生活。
    刚来中国的时候，最不习惯的就是早上八点钟上课。因为我是个夜猫子，喜欢晚睡晚起，所以经常迟到。你进教室的时候，别人正上着课呢，大家都看着你，真不好意思。为了不迟到，我买了一个闹钟，每天早上一到七点钟，它就大叫：”懒虫，该起床了！懒虫，该起床了！“虽然不好听，我还不能不感谢它。因为有了它，我现在已经很少迟到了。
    我还有以减不习惯的事，就是打招呼。有些中国人和我见面不是问好，而是问一些奇怪的问题。下面就算今天早上我和邻居的对话：
    ”早！“
    ”早上好！“
    ”吃了吗？“
    ”吃了。”
    “去上课呀？”
    ”是。“
    ”外面正下着雨呢，带伞了吗？“
    ”谢谢，我带着呢。“
    这要是在半年以前，有人这样跟我打招呼，我肯定生气了。可是，现在我却觉得挺亲切的，因为我知道，他们跟熟人才这么打招呼。要是你不想回答他们的问题，问好就可以了。
    中国有一个成语叫”入乡随俗“，意思是：到了一个新的地方，就要适应那里的风俗习惯。
