My First Year In Minnesota

My name is Margarita. I am from Russia.
I arrived from my country with my family on June 1, in 2007.
My native language is Russian I didn’t understand English, but now I am learning this new language with pleasure.
What can I say about weather in this state? I think-the weather is same between my native Rostov Region and Minnesota, where l live now.
Food in this country is different with food in my country. First time was difficult to drink milk, to eat bread. But later I got used to it.
Now I got used to leave here. I like to go shopping and to choose American food and at home I cooking hamburger, different salads, cakes, cookies.
