2. 酸奶饮料可以随便喝(课间)。Charleston 也有中国菜馆,你可以尝试不过
我相信它一定很贵,所以还是学几道中国菜再出去吧。
住:我现在是和三个国际生还有一个老师住在一栋小公寓里,非常棒。距离
学校不到 3 分钟路程,而且距离市中心很近,我很满意这个宿舍,就像家一
样。
行:去学校的话就是步行,如果你要去远一点的地方生活老师会开车带你去,
如果你满了 16 岁你也可以自己开车(开你自己的车,老师是不会借给你他
的车子),未满 16 岁也可以选择骑自行车,因为 charleston 就是一个 walk
town。
That’s all, and I think it will help you!
