16．During my first two weeks at the University of California，Berkeley，I experienced some unexpected，funny，and sometimes embarrassing（令人尷尬的） situations．Allow me to share some with you．
But first，let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States．Check the weather before coming!I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris．It was a huge mistake!It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley．
I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events．Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris．For example，in only 24hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease（租約） agreement for a flat．What's more，almost all the shops are open on Sunday，which is very practical for me．
The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class．They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class，In France，students respect the teacher's lesson，so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class．
The local people in California are in general very nice，open and active，However，I am not totally used to their habits yet．Indeed，I was used to shaking my friends'hands every day in France．During my second day at Berkeley，I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me"I think we already met!"
Another funny story happened during the first party I attended：A girl that I meet before came to hug me．I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello．So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed．
I live a great experience at present，and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC，Berkeley．

分析 短文主要講述了自己在美國加利福尼亞州西部城市伯克利的一段經(jīng)歷；本來自己確信加利福尼亞全年都是晴天，但在開始的兩周里，伯克利幾乎每天都下雨；伯克利的生活是非常愉快的，相比于巴黎來說，一切都是那么的容易．更甚的是，幾乎所有的商店星期日都是開放的，這是非常實用的．但巴黎和伯克利子許多地方是有巨大差異的，如學(xué)生來上課可以遲到或自由自在的出去，但在巴黎，學(xué)生是非常尊敬老師的，他們從不遲到或隨便離開．在禮節(jié)、習(xí)俗等方面，巴黎和伯克利也有很多不同的地方．
