Hey everyone,
I'm preparing for my toefl exam and I want someone to give me a feedback on my writing also to score me. thanks in advance
Our past experiences shape the way we look at people and the world around us. What are some of the experiences that have shaped your outlook and the way you live now.
The things that we experienced in the past can affect the way how we look at people. I have been in USA when I was 20 years old. It was quite an early age to affect my view of life. I spent three months there. It was my first experience as living in abroad without my family. I met so many people from different cultures. I learned a lot about the other cultures. The whole experience shaped my outlook and the way I live now.
When I started to observe the people and how they behave in USA, I noticed it was a little bit different from my country. I felt there was more respect to each other. I could not believe what I saw in the beginning. Then I thought the act of people was real or not, people should respect each other. Even it is not intimate. In other words, it is necessary to live all together. For example, people who were in the line to take money from ATM were waiting after a huge gap between them and person who had taken money. To me, it is a sign to respect the person who takes money from ATM because they want to give a space to person for doing his or her transaction safely. It is not like in Turkey.
The other thing was meeting so many people from different countries. It changed my perspective. I saw there are so many different people in different shapes, races, the clothes because there are not so many different cultures in my country. It made me to learn not judge and to be more open-mind. In addition, I started to not care what other people think. I realized people wear how they want, I mean sometimes in a crazy way and they seem like they do not care.
In conclusion, these three months were a great experience about life. It built my perspective and expanded my view of life. When I look at people and the world around me, I feel wiser in a way. Some experiences can change us and shape our outlook.
