I have a lot of friends in our university who are also international students from China. Before we came to saint Louis university, we did not know each other. However, we have the same background and language, so we can understand each other. They are not only my friends and classmates, but also my family in Saint Louis.

For example, students who speak English as their mother language just need understand the definition of accounting and remember the formula of accounting. However, our international student need translate many words we do not know and then understand the definition and remember the formula.
B. We are in an accounting class and review the test together. Accounting is one of the most difficult classes for us. I almost want to give up, but my friends encourage me that even we must pay more efforts than others, we still need continue to do it.
