Writing an essay and Saying " I love you"

One of my malicious American roomies said “Ryoko is dynamic and powerful so you are not seized with fear.” However, I am very scare of writing an essay and saying “I love you.”

First of all, I am fear writing an essay. Writing an essay is significant to international students because this is one of the most important methods to express our ideas clearly. However, for me it is so stressful because we need to use correct grammar, vocabulary, collocation, and so on. We have to pay attention to a lot of points. Furthermore, writing an essay needs a long time because of research. Research is so troublesome. It is so hard to find a books and journals which I exactly want. Research often makes me irritated. Nevertheless, I came here to get degree so I have to overcome this fear…...

The next is philosophical. I am scare of saying “I love you.” This word makes me so nervous. I am very straightforward so I like to express my opinion and I believe that express our feeling is valuable but I can’t say this short word. In my culture, the younger generation often use this word. However, I am worried that “I love you” become a cliche (a cheap word). I strongly believe that the meaning of “love” is so deep and only some people can understand the true meaning of “love”. Whenever I hear “I love you” or “Ai shit te ru”(this meaning is “I love you” in Japanese ) I feel strange.

What do you think?

I agree with you. It is also hard for me to say that.

I know in America, it is easy for people to express their love and say it out. Mabey that is the difference between America and China!

Find the guy you really love, and then you can easily to say that, I think so!
