Now I'm studying in the US，I find there are some differences between schools in the US and in Vietnam．
One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look．In my country，all the students should wear uniforms when they go to school．Boys aren't allowed to have long hair．Girls aren't allowed to have long or colored nails （指甲）．
Another difference is about the rules for parents．In Vietnam，when we begin a new year，our parents have to go to a meeting in our class．If they don't go to that meeting，their children won't have grade or a report card from school．
However，in the US，there aren't such strict rules above．
In Vietnam，a class is only 45 minutes and we have only five classes each weekday．When the

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,\afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money.\This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,\there. They're great.\This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say,\
American customs(1) about who pays for dates(2) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals.
