Yunfei Cao---some puzzled

I want to talk about some puzzled from my writing.
The first thing, I don't know how to write it by American thought, I am not American, and also my basic education is not American. Facing things, I really don't know how American people think about it. So during my writing, almost time, I write it by my own thought which have been a habbit from my old education. How can I write it by American thought?
The second thing, many times, I found the work I have written is not like my thought before. I don't know why I can't write it like my thought.
The third thing, if I write my essay or modify my essay like what the book tought us, I will find I can't get enough page, because some wonderfu decorations are seen like insignificant. How to make my essay more wonderful?

You are right. Not only you, your puzzles also puzzle everyone else.
First, how can you think in American way? Get in touch with American and ask them, and then compare why they think in a different way from yours. Actually, you need to know how they think, but it is really unnecessary for you to think in their way, too. Everyone is typical, so keep your own thought, but learn from others to complement yourself.
Second, your work doesn't look like your original thoughts. That's because you are changing while you are writing. And maybe your expression is not as active as your thoughts.
Third, you don't need to add any decoration to make your essay wonderful. Your creative ideas will. So just try to think different.
