单选题
My name is Mohsen. I am from Cario, but three weeks ago I said goodbye to my family and got on a plane to the U.S. Now 1 am studying at Cornell University in New York, and I live in the school. School life is busy, but it is a lot of fun. I meet new people every day. It is a funny thing that everyone asks me the same question: How do you like here7 Well, it's not that I don't like coming to the U.S.; it's just that a lot of things seem strange to me. For example, the language sounds different from the English I learned at home. And everybody talks so fast. Sometimes I become nervous (紧张的) and I don't understand everything that people say to me. Worse, people never seem to understand me. I always have to say something two or three times. Now I work on my pronunciation (发音) to get people to understand me better and I believe that it has begun to get better. But, to tell you the truth, at times, I get very embarrassed(尴尬).
