i don`t findany order when i check it,i feel like its just lacking something, it should be at least

as far as i know

have a look at Oxford dic n look up the word 'eating'
it's noun: to have eating disorders; that's exactly the emaple of oxford
but the rest of the sentence doesn't seem to be correct:

American women who had eating disorders in order to be thin and skinny.

it could be 'she was too skinny bcuz of having eating disorders'; makes sense, but 'to have eating disorders in order to'...doesn't make sense; it's like u r saying the eating diorder has been of some benfits to her while such a thing is not logical...u gotta correct it Singleguy, wot did u want to say?!l

Summary of "cultural shock"

This reading is about a girl called Tamara Blackmore that she has entered a new environment for continuing her graduation .She has faced many problems that we named it "cultural shock" .First of all, driving rules and regulations made her surprised. Then, the intimate and friendly relationship between teachers and students was very different from her country.

[rayhaneh]

MY SUMERY OF THE READING

The reading as whole is about culture shock. Tamara Blackmore was one of the exchange students from an Australian university to Boston university of America. She has shared with readers her firsthand experience of culture shock which she herself faced it while passing her junior year far from her country in America. Blackmore compared extensively the two cultures, Australian culture versus American culture, and the difficulties one would face while shifting from one culture or country to another. According to her American people was more time oriented and busy than Australian who was seemed to have more free time. Women in America were slim and skinny as they were not eating properly, this was not so with Australian women. Faculty in American universities had more friendly and open relations with the students as compared to Australian teachers who were formal and strict. There were much more new things for her in American culture which surprised her. But in her point of view studying in Boston University and living among Americans was a happy and nice experience for her.

she has entered a new environment for continuing: she has entered a new enviroment to continue her education( here u r talking about the purpose of sth, so u have to use 'to' not 'for')l

don't worry about yr mistakes dear Mahsa, just have a look at them:
she spending: she was/is/has been spending - since u r describing her situation it's best to use past continious

tamara compare: Tamara compares/compared - again u gotta chose yr tense?! past or present?!l

different than Australia: different from Australia

good luck guysl

Dun really like to interfere in Dear Jeff's job, but I think 'who' is correct...let me read it over n over...

An Australian girl called Tamara Blackmore who left Melbourne's Monash University to spend her junior year at Boston College In America and who experienced the culture

I doubt now...but seems to be correct, maybe if u had written "Tamara Blackmore is an Australian girl who left..." this sounds more natural but yr own one seems to be correct...maybe I'm wrong

n about 'eating' again u were right...to have eating disorders or to suffer from eating disorders...
u n singleguy both have used 'eating' as a noun so yr sentence has no problem

[singleguy]

Jogging=act of pushing or shaking

wow...
your English is so good...
excellent
but I have a problem in this word: Jogging.
Is your definition right?
I guess you meant Joggle
I found these definitions in my dictionary:
Joggle:to move or to make sb/sth move quickly up and down or from one side to another
Jog: to run slowly and steadily for a long time, especially for exercise

sorry... I'm not sure because I'm so weak in English. If I'm not right please tell me
