So Nelson ? What's yours origins ? 

I'm South African.

Ah ok. What are the reals differences from here?

There are many.At first, poverty is more dense, many people are in the street.
The work are less paid than here, for exemple a normal architect win approximately 3 thousand dollars but in South Africa, he wins one thousand dollars.
I came from a very poor family, my father is a mason and mother is a cashier, so it was
very difficult for live comfortably.
The activities for the child are too differents, in South Africa, there aren't much
Amusement Park or swiming pool for example, in America There are many. 
The food was also different, all the monday, tuesday and wednesday, we were eating rice often because it's a food that is cheap.
Here, we eat often hamburgers, potatoes, so in the fast food because it's more fast.
The environement is also different because I find there is more pollution in America than in South Africa. It's very difficult for me to adapt
in this country.
The last thing different is the dress. In south Africa, The people wears clothes of all colors, it's very simple. In America, 
all the people swears many jeans, basket and shirt. The South African shops clothes are less expansive than America.

Oh Okay. What are the main differences from here?

There are many. First, poverty is more dense, much more people are in the streets. The salary is less than here for example a normal architect earns approximately 3 thousand dollars but in South Africa, he earns one thousand dollars. I came from a very poor family, my father is a mason and mother is a cashier, so it was very difficult to live comfortably. The activities for a child to do are different, in South Africa, there aren't much Amusement Park's or swimming pools for example, in America you would find them frequently. The food is also different, in the weekly meals we are usually eating rice because it is the food that is the cheapest. Here, we often eat hamburgers, potatoes, because the fast food restaurant is much faster than cooking ourself. The environment is also different because I find there is more pollution in America than in South Africa. It's very difficult for me to adapt in this country. The last thing different is the clothes.

Hi James! What they are your origins? Hi Mike, I am from China, in China the life is very different compared to the U.S. , we do not have the same mode of life, 
or the same language, or even the same culture. I was born into a poor family, my parents were dressmaker in a plant high marks, were hardworker. They finished late 
and they wake up very early to work and be able to feed my family correctly and live normally. Here in America, time work is less, people are less hardwork, and un
the factories, the work is not in the chain as in China. The food in America is different, Americans eat a lot of in fastfood. our culture is too different, 
we do not live the same method, our mode of life is very different. We don't speak the same language. Life in the U.S. is more expensive that in China. In China,
all persons arefriendly, people here do not speak.
Thank you all !!

Built further on Reverse (can't spell that like in your nick lol), some grammatical mistakes (punctuation eg). I'm not a native speaker

-Oh, Okay. What are the main differences between your country and this? //note: couldn't find any better

-There are many. Firstly, poverty is more dense, much more people are in the streets. The salary is less than here: for example, a normal architect earns approximately 3 thousand dollars, but in South Africa, he earns one thousand dollars! I was born in a very poor family, my father is a mason and mother a cashier, so it was very difficult to live comfortably. The activities for a child to do are different; in South Africa, there aren't much Amusement Park's or swimming pools for example, whilst in America you find them frequently. The food is also different, in the weekly meals we usually eat rice because it's the cheapest food. Here, in America, we often eat hamburgers, potatoes, etc. because the fast food restaurants are much faster than cooking ourselves. The environment in South Africa is also different because I think there is more pollution in America than in South Africa. It's very difficult for me to adapt in this country. The last different thing are the clothes. In South Africa, the people wear clothes of all colours, it's very simple. In America, all the people wear mainly jeans, basket and shirt. The South African shops clothes are less expensive than those in America.

It's probably a real story you're telling? Based on the mistakes you made, I can pretty much state you speak Afrikaans as your native. I'm Dutch, and as you probably know, your language is derived from mine

Common mistakes: "I find that ..." => "I think that"

-Hi Mike, I am from China and over there, the life is very different compared to the U.S. , we do not have the same mode of life, nor the same language, and even a different culture. I was born in a poor family, my parents were dressmakers in a plant high marks, they worked really hard. They finish late and wake up very early to work and be able to feed my family correctly and make us live like other people. Here in America, you have to work less, and in the factories, the work is not in assembly lines like in China. The food in America is different as well. For example, Americans eat a lot of in fastfood, but not in our country! We do not live way the Americans do, our mode of life is very different. We neither speak the same language. Life in the U.S. is more expensive that in China. Another difference is that, in China, all people are friendly, while people here aren't very sociable.

I hope you compare both texts, so you learn from your mistakes

Use either 'What is your origin?' or 'What are your origins?' (I believe the second is more correct.)
'What's your origins' is incorrect, as far as I know.
