On
my former article a talked a little bit about my first visit to the
US, my first time in New York. Today I wanna continue speaking about
my experience, but the purpose of these articles is to show you that
learning to speak English is possible and you can get awesome
results.
After leaving New York
City, which was a really good experience, we headed to north
carolina. When we got to the John F. kennedy airport a woman from
Guyana carried our baggage and helped us out with my grandma to check
in. Talking to this woman was kind of funny for two reasons, one
because our conversation started like this, at first she began
talking to me about the airline we were gonna fly on and then she
talked to my dad asking him where we were from, when my dad said we
were from Colombia, she turned to me and said “But you're from here, right?”, when I said no, she said “then you had a great
English teacher kid, 'cause you speak really good”.
When this woman said
that, I thought it was really funny because since the moment I talked
to her I was trying to make a big effort to understand what she was
saying, actually I had never heard an English accent like hers, but
even so, she thought that I was a great speaker and knowing this made
me feel really happy with my English.
We flew to North Carolina and landed on
a small city called charlotte, completely different than New York I
must say, this is kind of a lonely place where everyone is inside
malls, stores, buildings and houses, I must admit that if it wasn't
because of my cousins who live there, north carolina would've been
really boring, but I had a lot of fun and English conversations
though.
I went to a video-game store and a guy
saw me looking at some PS3 video-games, the guy just started talking
to me about video-games. That was really cool because it was a fluid conversation and it was about a topic I know pretty well.
I got to know several places in the carolinas, I went to a park called carowinds with my cousins and it was
pretty fun, even though we needed more time to ride all the
attractions. It was really good spending time with family, but the
best part of going to the carolinas was when we went to myrtle beach
on south carolina, there were so many things to do that we didn't
have enough time to enjoy everything.
Myrtle beach is a little city close to
the ocean, during the day you can find lots of different restaurants
and different activities to do like going to the beach, the pool, do
several sports, etc. During the nights you can find a lot of
parties going on and lots of people just walking around the area, in
my humble opinion Myrtle beach was a really cool place.
In conclusion, Charlotte (North
Carolina) is a really quiet place, I'd call it a very familiar place.
Myrtle beach (South Carolina) is a really awesome place to visit
during summer, I would've liked to have more time to spend in this
place, but another day will come!
