я перевёл текст.Мне надо его пересказать от 3-его лица и должно получится 6-7 предложений.
Моё общее впечатление сходно с любым туристом, путешествующим из маленького города в большой город. Путешествие из маленького города Коннектикут в США в большой город России, кажется крайностью(extreme) для меня, хотя я также обнаружила, что Россия полна крайностей.
Моя жизнь здесь в течение двух месяцев изменила мой взгляд на мир, и я очень благодарна, что у меня есть еще два месяца, чтобы улучшить мое знание этого города. Живя в приемной семье, у меня была возможность жить, как живут русские и, это, несомненно, прибавило к моему культурному опыту. Мои приемные родители не говорят по-английски, таким образом, мой русский язык медленно улучшался, и я также узнавала, как общаться языком тела.
"Почему Россия?" Меня часто спрашивали прежде, чем я приехала сюда. Я хотела отправиться куда-нибудь, где изменится мой взгляд на мир. Я хотела поехать куда-нибудь, где бросят мне вызов интеллектуально и культурно. Россия заставила меня лучше понять покой, с которым я могу сделать почти все дела по дому, по сравнению с трудностями, которые я имею при выполнении простых задач здесь. Вместо того, чтобы обратить внимание на различия и расстройства, которые могли бы случиться в любой ситуации, я потихоньку начинаю лучше понимать российскую культуру за ее уникальность.
