Recently watching American TV Dramas has become more and more popular with youth in our country. There are various kinds of reasons. Generally speaking, TV Dramas are suitable for the psychology of youth. The network technology will be developed as well at the same time. What’s more, it can make our spoken English well. Every coin has two sides, but it shows off a humanism, and spreads bad influences such as violence, etc.

I think the positive influences are more important than negative ones.

First of all, a number of American TV Dramas express duty, family, freedom, justice and love concept. It’s useful to develop youth’s recessive education. Only in this way will TV Dramas play a positive part and make up for shortcomings in political education. Next, it can broaden our eyes and knowledge and make us know what is different from home and abroad. With this method, we can know the western society. We’ll be affected by different culture ambience and ideology concept. Under the background of the whole world, knowing the cultures of western countries can promote each country’s communications well. In addition, In this process, TV Dramas play a role of bridge. Then, it will develop independent personality. America uphold particular concept and suggest their educational productions. Youth is the most energetic generation, encourages people show off personality and dares to break the outmoded conventions. It’s the prerequisite of innovation.

Finally, TV Dramas also help you face reality and surmount ideality. Nowadays, some youth always depend on others, such as their parents or friends. They also have idealism and is extremely conceited or inferiority. They often don’t find themselves in society, due to the influences of life education environment.

By this we can make a conclusion. No matter how hard it will be, we should always be free and try our best to conquer the enemy, just like the actors in the film. Another thing we have to remember is the great development of China. TV Dramas’ productions suggest the culture and psychological state of the country from some kinds of degree. It can promote our country’s economic development. Watching TV Dramas is a way to follow fashion. Therefore, everyone should work hard to make our country stronger and stronger. Through American TV Dramas, we should strengthen our duty and proud of our country. Let’s work together!

最近看美国电视剧已经在我国青年中越来越受欢迎。有各种各样的原因。一般来说，电视剧合适青少年的心理。同时，网络技术将被发展起来。更重要的是，它可以使我们的英语口语变好。每个硬币都有两面，但它显示了一个人文主义，和传播的不良影响如暴力，等。

我认为积极的影响比消极的影响更重要。

首先，美国一些电视剧表达的责任，家庭，自由，正义和爱的概念。培养青年的隐性教育是有用的。只有这样，电视剧中扮演一个积极的角色，弥补政治教育的不足。其次，它能开阔我们的视野和知识使我们知道，国内外不同的是什么。用这种方法，我们可以了解西方社会。我们会受到不同的文化氛围和意识形态概念。在全世界的背景下，了解西方国家的文化可以促进各个国家的通讯。此外，在这一过程中，电视剧起到了桥梁作用。然后，它会培养独立人格。美国坚持特定的概念，建议他们的教育成果。青春是最充满活力的一代，鼓励人们展示个性，敢于打破陈规。这是创新的前提。

最后，电视剧也帮助你面对现实和超越的理想。如今，一些青少年总是依赖别人，如父母或朋友。他们也有理想主义和极其自负或自卑感。他们经常不能在社会中找到自己，因为生活教育环境的影响。

因此我们可以得出结论。不管有多难，我们都应该是自由的，尽我们最大的努力去征服敌人，就像电影中的演员。另一件我们需要记住的是，中国经济的巨大发展。电视剧作品从某种程度上表明了这个国家的文化和心理状态。它可以促进我国经济的发展。看电视剧是一路追随时尚。因此，每个人都应该努力使我们的国家越来越强大。通过美国的电视剧，我们应该加强我们的义务，让我们一起工作让我们的国家感到自豪。！

before the 1850s, the united states had a number of small colleges, most of them dating from colonial days. they were small, church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.

throughout europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. in german university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. between mid-century and the end of the 1800s, more than nine thousand young americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to germany for advanced study. some of them return to become presidents of venerable colleges-----harvard, yale, columbia---and transform them into modern universities. the new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty.

professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. the new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars. drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the german method of lecturing, in which the professors own research was presented in class. graduate training leading to the ph.d., an ancient german degree signifying the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment, was introduced. with the establishment of the seminar system, graduate student learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research.

at the same time, the new university greatly epanded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. the president of harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own course of study. the notion of major fields of study emerged. the new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world. paying close heed to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, with engazuowenng students being the most characteristic of the new regime. students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.

eleven students from world college, west of the united states, kissed their newly-made chinese fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters “zaijian”(goodbye), tears in eyes, when leaving jiangwan township, in shanghai suburbs. these students, who are studying on a program of international relations, are believed to be the first hatch① of foreign students to live with chinese village families.

the students stayed in the village for two months. at daytime, they were given chinese language and history courses in the village classroom and took part in agricultural practice in the fields. they spent the rest of their time with the peasants, carrying water from wells, making a fire for cooking, even feeding babies.mr. carlos liked to take little children for a ride in bicycle whereas mr. david often played cards with his young chinese friends. miss tracy, a pretty l9-year-old girl, concentrated her enthusiasm on giving english lessons to pupils at jiangwan primary school. mr. richard with his video camera② finished a tv documentary③ about chinese village life.“we like the life here. its so quiet, so plain, yet so interesting,”said miss sandra, one of the students.

lunch time was the most enjoyable for both guest and host. they talked about everything that interested them. the villagers regarded these students as their own sons, daughters, brothers, or sisters.“this new form is also beneficial④ to ourselves,”said u hongming, deputy director ⑤ of jiangwan township. “we are looking forward to welcoming more foreign students to come here.”

indeed, the students not only learned chinese, but also knew more deeply about china within the two months. “weve learned a lot which we couldnt just at chinese colleges,” said miss nona from canada. when asked about the purpose of going to china and staying with chinese villagers, tracy showed her several articles published in an american newspaper:“living, studying and learning to accept and work within another entirely different culture is an important aspect⑥ of every society. communication, understanding, and above all, love are imperative⑦ for world peace.”

The topic like“what’s a university?” or “what a university should do?” has been discussed many times in every age. Not only educationalists but also students take into it. Is it necessary to give priority to skills and knowledge in university education as they are essential to employers? Or students in universities should have access to all of knowledge just as they have their own sake? Chose A or B, this is a problem.

The value of knowledge itself need to be considered first in university education even though the course is not as practical as skills and technology. In Chinese culture, morality education is always took at first. It said that the way of real learning is to develop and expand virtue, to innovate peoples’ opinions, to get the best goodness. In addition, there are four stages in the success of a gentleman: first, to cultivate his moral characters; second, regulate his own family; third, rule the state successfully; forth, let the world get peace. In Chinese traditional value, students in

university need to develop his morality firstly, though these knowledge is not as useful as other skills after they get a job.

On the other hand, the practicability of a university course is also worth considering, especially in the age when our government call for the attention to skills and technology in university education and when the employees prefer to capacity and practical knowledge of employers. The time in university is limited and conditions and aims of students are different. When students chose which course to learn, it is inevitable for some of them prefer to those which are more needed in workplace.

Universities give equal access to all of knowledge, including the practical courses and others. What’s more, they need give more chance to students to choose what to learn. Congratulate on diversity!

Caucus goers met at sites around the state to show support for their candidate and be counted in the first contest of the 2016 Presidential nominating cycle.

This year the Iowa caucuses drew many first-time caucus-goers.

John Clark is one of them. He says that he took the time to caucus in order to make his voice heard.

"I feel like its part of being American as you get the chance to do this, you get the chance to say what you believe in, and have a voice and vote."

Thanking his supporters, Ted Cruz relished in a major victory over Donald Trump, the national poll leader.

"Iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee in the next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media, will not be chosen by the Washington establishment, will not be chose by the lobbyists but will be chosen by the most incredible power for force where all sovereignty resides in our nation by we the people, the American people."

Trump is a controversial figure among Iowa voters.

"I think he can bring the rights to change the government back to the people."

"I can say I will not be supporting Trump. Our views just dont agree. I believe in equality and respect for all people and I dont think he does."

Despite a disappointing second place finish for the often bombastic real-estate mogul, Trump was gracious in conceding defeat.

"I am really honored. And I want to congratulate Ted and I want to congratulate all of the incredible candidates including Mike Huckabee."

Analysts say that Florida Senator Marco Rubio is likely to enjoy increased momentum going forward.

Rubio finished a solid third, just one percentage point behind Trump but well ahead of the rest of the GOP field.

Hillary Clinton endured a nail-biter of a night that finished in a virtual tie with Bernie Sanders.

Clinton says she will keep fighting on in her address to supporters.

"I want you to know I will keep doing what I have done my entire life. I will keep standing up for you. I will keep fighting for you. I will always work to achieve the America that I believe in where the promise of that dream that we hold out to our children and our grandchildren never fades but inspires generations to come. Join me, lets go win the nomination."

Although for many, tonight is just the beginning of a long slog to the two major parties national conventions in August, it also marks the end of the line for candidates who failed to gain traction.

Two contenders: Maryland Governor Martin OMalley and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, dropped out after poor showings today in Iowa.

[美国选举的英语作文

时间过得真快啊，一眨眼就在美国待了一个半月了。快开学了，我们的美国之旅也该结束了。在离开它之前，我对它又重新认识了一遍，有很多感触，说出来与大家分享。

首先是美国人。

美国人很友好、礼貌，在小区里别人都会主动和你打招呼;他们看完电影、表演、比赛都会自动起身长时间鼓掌，表示对表演者的尊敬和礼貌;就算你被交警罚款的时候，交警也是很礼貌的，根本不会有“仗势欺人”的感觉;那次我们在去美国大瀑布的途中，一高兴走错了路，只好向两位正在骑单车的美国人询问，他们十分热情，很快停下车，友好地告诉我们正确的路，还告诉我们哪里可以调头、哪里可以转弯这些细节，并祝我们“have a good day”。

美国人守规则，并且十分自觉，他们自觉排队，哪怕你有事离开了，别人都会帮你留着位置。如果你不守规矩，其他人会给你投来异样的眼光。美国人对交通规则也十分遵守，有时候到了几乎死板的程度，小区有停车标志的，就算当时没人，他们也停在那看一会才走，在他们眼里，人是最重要的，就算是遇到闯红灯的行人，汽车也会主动停下来。不过不要以为你就可以随便闯红灯，要是汽车不小心把你撞死了，你还要赔偿人家汽车的损耗，如果你幸运的没事，被交警叔叔看到了也会罚你的款。

美国人讲信用，像美国的商店，交钱都是自己动手的。美国的快餐店饮料啥的也都是自己加的(可能请人很贵)，从没有人不交钱就把东西拿走，也没有人说用自己的瓶子去装快餐店的饮料，大家都很诚实。而且一旦你有不诚实的污点，以后找工作、买房子都会很困难。

美国人敬业，我们去佛罗里达州迪斯尼的时候，人家导游姐姐在船上站一天，口中不停念叨着解说词，还要努力让自己精神抖擞，让游客感觉到身临其境，但毫无怨言，既专业也敬业。要是换了我站在那里，还不得累死、烦死!

美国人很爱护环境，他们不吐痰、不乱扔垃圾，甚至做到了把垃圾捡起来、义务打扫，更难得可贵的是，美国人垃圾分类明确，可回收的、可分解的、不可回收的、生活垃圾、厨房垃圾等等，真正做到了珠海市名言——美丽由心生，垃圾不乱扔!但我没看到他们成天宣传，好像从小就有这个习惯。美国政府规定：草自己死了不要紧，你家的草要是太长了，就要被罚款，就是严重的影响了市容市貌!这确实有点令人难以理解——自己买的草长长了也有罪啊!

在美国人看来，劳动是快乐的，特别是通过自己的双手把自己的家园打造成人间仙境的时候，美国人就会欣喜若狂，真正体会到“自己动手，丰衣足食”的快乐。他们经常自己动手，种花、种树、浇水、建造阳台、割草等等。像我们邻居一家，天天拎俩花盆，到周末还全家出动，佩服!真是佩服!

美国人的家庭观念都相当强，就算是玩，也要一家人在一起!我们去迪士尼，工作人员都要首先问你多少人一起，他们安排的原则是，必须要让一个家庭坐在一起。比如：一辆过山车一排可坐3人，那我们一家四口咋办呢?以中国人的眼光看，肯定是坐满一排，再多坐一个座位，美国人则不然——一定要前排俩，后排俩，还不能是一排在最前面，一排在最后面，两排必须相邻!有时候眼看不能在一起了，排队的美国人会主动让后面的人先玩，宁可多等十分钟，也不分开。

美国人不喜欢串门(开patty、万圣节除外)!其实我觉得主要原因可能是因为美国人都住在别墅里，自己搞自家的事儿(美国人都会在自己家草坪上整点游泳池、蹦蹦床、滑滑梯之类什么的)，也没有中国过春节拜年这样的习俗，很少跟别人打交道，所以美国人也都很独立。

美国人生活质量高。大家一定要有心理准备，不要太过于激动：美国人一个星期，一般都是星期一到五工作，星期六开着部小吉普，后面拖着游艇、自行车，去游艇俱乐部玩一天，顺便骑一下山地自行车，再有钱一点的呢，就会开着一辆房车，后面冰箱厕所厨房一应俱全，带着一家人，想去哪里就去哪里，怎一个“爽”字了得?

美国人浪费十分严重。美国人浇花，都是用自动喷头，“嗒嗒嗒”就这样来回地射水，像不用钱似的;纸就更别提了，公共场所，特别是厕所里的纸大量供应，美国人洗完手都是把纸一下子拉出很多来，随便一擦，也不管手擦干了没有就把纸丢掉，估计在美国人看来，擦手只是形式;一个人，开一部老大的车，完全是浪费汽油;美国家庭，一般是中央空调，一打开，整个屋子都大放冷气，连仓库、厕所都有冷气出来;晚上房子周围开着灯，也不知道给谁看的，据说是为了让主人自己看着觉得好看，晕!真是忒浪费了，中国家庭简直无法想象!

美国人与环境和谐相处。美国的森林保护得很好，到处可见原始的森林。美国的动物那更是不怕人，松鼠敢跟你抢花生吃，鹅敢在你眼皮子底下生蛋孵蛋，美国为什么怕中国人签证来到美国后不回去，估计就是因为怕中国人把公园里的鹅、鸭、鸽子全部抓来宰了吃了……

美国的胖人很多，美国人肥胖主要是因为懒，美国吃的东西大部分都是做好的、现成的，只用在微波炉里一热就OK了，鱼连骨头都帮你扔了，就是肉，再加上美国的食品都是高热量的，你看咋办?正因为肥胖人口还在呈上升趋势，所以美国现在也开始重视运动了。

美国人付钱都是刷卡的，很少人用现金，哪怕报亭都可以刷卡，不过现在经济不景气，次贷危机啊!搞不好哪家银行倒闭了就惨了，所以现在收现金的逐渐增多，不少地方用现金还可以便宜一点(有严重地逃税嫌疑)……

说了这么多美国人的特点，我们来看看美国的特点。

美国是小孩子的天堂，这真是一点儿也不错。在美国，无论你是谁，都不能随便超校车，更不能在学校地段开快车，哪怕不是放学时间!美国还有专门规定，12岁以下的小孩子是不能被一个人留在家的，否则可以拨打911求助，警察叔叔很快就会来，还要罚父母的款。估计要是我们家住在美国，我爸我妈就要经常光顾警察局了。而且还不能体罚孩子(中国有句俗话：棍棒出孝子)，汽车上还有专门为儿童设计的安全座椅，如果不绑，也是要被罚的;他们对小孩子的教育以表扬为主，尽量发现小孩的优点，而不是老挑毛病。

美国还是残疾人的天堂。在美国，估计正常人都会羡慕残疾人，因为美国对残疾人那是相当的照顾：最好的停车位、一按便开的门、不用排队(就连家属也沾光)。我老奇怪，为什么我们国内很少看到，而美国的游乐场里那么多残疾人呢?爸爸说，其实每个国家的残疾人应该都多，只是在中国，我们的残疾人出来都不方便，所以就没出来，看起来显得少而已。当然，我觉得美国人喜欢运动，受伤变残疾的机会多可能也是其中的原因之一，但确实，大家都尽量给他们方便，让他们不那么自卑。

美国的生活费很便宜，一盒牛奶(这盒挺大，可以装好几升)才几块钱，一双名牌鞋才20块，至于袜子更是便宜，老爸一下子出手不凡，买的袜子足足装满了半旅游箱!不过美国的人工可贵了，所以除了食品以外，基本上都是从外面进口的，曾发现我一夏令营同学浑身上下从帽子到鞋子全部是“made in China”!

现在的美国人，都是用地图出行，把精确到门牌号的起点终点一输入，就会自动显示最快捷的路线，而且很少有错，虽然中国也有这样的服务，但中国道路的变数很大也很乱，所以没有美国实用。美国的停车场很大，有些还是三层的，想咋停咱就咋停，不必要为停车位不足而发愁。美国沿途的加油站也多，加油站旁边都有快餐店，那里有很多关于这个城市的介绍书，完全免费!更先进的是在机场，连登机牌都可以自己办的，真的是不来不知道，一来吓一跳!

美国的高速公路网发达，乡镇农村，四通八达!再加上美国几乎人人有车，是“生活在汽车上的国家”，所以几乎是想去哪里就去哪里，不过可惜的是美国的高速公路网虽然发达实用而不漂亮，路也不咋地，至于这么有钱的美国为啥要把高速公路修成这个鬼样子，稍后会有介绍……敬请期待!

美国无论城市或是乡村，人均居住面积都十分大，一家人就占一个大别墅，实在是有钱人的作风。美国的居住区和商业区、工业区都是分开的，这样既避免了化工厂开在家门口，也不会有人在你旁边唱卡拉OK，好处自然是显而易见。不过有利就有弊，如果晚上你肚子饿了想出去吃点夜宵，就又要开个车出去了。虽然三区分开这样的设计既不会有环境污染，也不会感觉吵闹，但是似乎麻烦了一点，没那么方便。买根黄瓜都要开部车，估计汽油钱都比这黄瓜贵，这个……实在是太奢侈了……

美国的警察效率比较高，至少同中国比起来，我是这样觉得的，那一次我们在加油站丢失了钱包，找到警察后警察很快就联系上了那里的负责人，并找到了钱包，还向我们祝贺。美国的交警也不会在道路上安装摄像头，他们习惯于“现犯现抓”，如果你违反交通规则，警车就会跟在你后面，也不鸣警笛，直到你自己“醒悟”，把车停到路边，警察才会出来跟你说话，这时候你不能出车门，因为怕你行贿，如果你强行逃跑的话，警察就会鸣笛，并奋起直追，追不到则已，追到了双倍处罚!警察下罚单的过程我们已经提到了，是很有礼貌的，所以美国的警察是很受人尊敬和信任的，一身警服带着个牛仔帽，还有点西部牛仔的感觉。

美国的税不是一般的高，而且每个地方的税率都不一样，税款也不是商家出的，是你给了商店钱以后，还要给政府税款，这招太狠了，想怎么逃税都不行!因为这就避免了商家逃税，其次商家也不会助你逃税——你叫不交税和他没关系……不过政府也很慎用纳税人的钱，这就是为什么那高速公路修得跟个省道似的(其实本来就叫“州际公路”)，无论那高速公路修得再差，反正能开就行，管他呢!而美国的市政设施也不豪华，将大多数税款用于兴建图书馆、体育设施和政府救济，就凭这一点就比只搞形象工程的中国好!

下面一个话题请大家不要在吃饭的时间看，有可能影响食欲。据我所知，美国的厕所比中国的好。首先，无论是美国的哪一个厕所，都十分干净，至少没有异味，也不至于特别脏，更不像中国，好的厕所那是好的不得了，东北山区那些厕所呢，门口就已经蚊虫到处飞，里面我就不形容描述了，据说老爸有在厕所门口被臭晕过去的记录，这是事实，证明了中国的厕所实在令人不敢恭维。我不要求每个厕所都向我们参观的展览一样——全黄金制作，也不要求每个厕所都是六星级酒店那种，只要很正常就可以了，美国的厕所应该说都达到了这种要求，有过之而无不及!

终于脱离了tolite这个话题，我们回过头来讲景点门票的事儿，美国景点的门票都很大众化、平民化，也很便宜，不像中国，基本上十，动不动上百，连个破公园都要忽悠你几块钱，世界三大瀑布之一——美国大瀑布门票是0元，加上船票也就七块五，这比什么黄果树瀑布便宜多了……并且美国的购物点都有自己的特色，是别的地儿买不到的，连华盛顿加油站卖的T-shirt都印有“我爱华盛顿”，总说明了到此一游嘛，不似中国的购物点，简直是纯粹地坑人，以高超的忽悠技术欺骗善良的游客……

说完购物点，我们讲讲超市，美国的超市就那几家，JCpenny、meijer等等，牌子虽少但是都是全国连锁，而且这些超市奇大，一间很普通的超市就可以媲美整个珠海免税商场!品牌少而分店多，地方大而东西齐，这大概就是美国的超市吧!

最后，我们来说说教育问题。十年树木，百年树人。美国重视教育，教育方式以表扬为主，哎呀，怪不得这么多老师说我英文好，原来只是为了鼓励我啊!美国的教育强调纪律性，注重步伐统一，连上厕所也不能一个人去，必须要两个人以上!据说，男孩子的上学年龄比女孩子要晚，因为学校有意锻炼男孩子的领导能力，不管方法好坏，我是不太赞同的，男女平等嘛!

讲了那么多，应该也够了吧。哎呀，突然肚子痛了起来，糟糕!只觉“诗虫”从嘴里爬了出来：

今年暑期来美国，

中西文化大不同。

明日乘机回珠海，

且将见闻藏梦中。

The understanding of American culture must not end with what we know on TV, because she has the most distinctive features of her own, which is diversity. As a country with a large immigrant population, the United States does not have a unique way of life, there is no only standard of conduct, and there is no unique culture. The diversity of the United States penetration in all aspects of the country, the following guidelines may not be able to help you overcome all from the cultural differences, but hope to everyone to prepare for the basic study in the United States and general plan to help.

Americans have a very different lifestyle than Chinese people. American food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. A meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. Hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.

Americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. The most detailed list of houses and apartments available on Sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. In addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. The rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. Electricity in most parts of the United States is 110-120 volts, 60Hz.

Almost every home in the United States has a car, and the American highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. They often go on a family trip during the holidays. The most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. The subway is usually run day and night. Taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. The whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.

The American concept of time

Because of the fierce competition, the American society is full of movement and change, people are always in a hurry, and the result also has formed the americans time view of tension. "Time is money" is the most accurate expression of the American attitude to time. Americans value time more than just because they think time is a tangible thing, but more importantly they recognize the urgency and lack of time. Americans believe that the question of time can fully reflect a persons self-cultivation, and his respect for others. Therefore, it is necessary to have a detailed schedule and strict adherence to it.

So we stress that being on time is not just about the individuals schedule, but if youre not on time, it reflects your lack of respect for others time. In the study of life, apart from being on time, it is necessary to observe the deadline of various learning tasks. American schools generally teach students a subject, and then a group of students form a study group. Everyone is responsible for different aspects of learning team, if you dont have the prescribed deadline to complete you responsible for that part, influence is the whole teams performance, it is also a lot of American students constantly complaining about a problem. So being on time is a basic requirement for studying and living in the United States.

The way americans communicate

Talking to people is the most basic form of interpersonal communication. When youre talking to friends from all over the world, youre not just talking to each other, youre communicating with each other. The way language is expressed can often reflect the characteristics of a particular region or country.

Direct refreshing

Most of the time, conversations in the United States belong to a tendency to get information. They like to ask a lot of questions, and in a very direct way. They will use the most simple and direct language to get the information they want, the process, if they do not pay too much attention to wording beautiful, whether express tactfully, it sometimes inevitably conceded the interlocutors have a feeling not too polite. Answer this question, too, when the answer is no, americans will tell you "no" directly, also wont go to touch up for his answer, and if you dont have to know in advance to their speech habits, it felt embarrassed is inevitable.

Positive questions

Another obvious feature of the American way of communication is that there is no hesitation in asking questions. In the course of conversation, if americans dont understand what they dont understand, they often ask each other questions in a timely manner until they understand it. This feature is encouraged in class. In American classrooms, students can present any questions to the classroom at any time, and the lecturers will be more than happy to answer questions for students. Therefore, American classroom will always make students absorb knowledge in a relaxed, interactive and positive atmosphere.

body language

The tools of human communication are not just words, but body language. Spoke of the gestures, body posture, and facial expressions are the key to proper use of body language, we will divide the occasion, object, subject of flexible adjustment and use body language. Eye contact is the key of the above elements. Keep your eyes on the other side of the conversation while youre talking. This is something americans value too much.

Here are a few topics that can be used to talk to almost all americans:

Weather and mood

Some of my past experiences

My own campus life, or work content

Car, fashion, shopping, TV, music, clothing and other casual topics

At the same time, we should avoid the following topics:

Savings, income and other topics related to the personal economic situation

Family situation

Religious beliefs and so on

The last thing to note is that when you dont have a good grasp of your sense of humor, its best not to play it at will. You know, different countries, different culture, have different understanding of humor, and the appropriate humor can active conversation atmosphere, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, or conversely.

Were divided into 50 states, each state has different administrative rules and regulations, combined with geographical location, climate condition difference, leads to the residents of the states have different living habits. The same is true of Americas diversity.

Climate change is a top priority. On the other hand is psychological preparation. Residents in different regions have different characteristics, such as: the east people look is always in a hurry, rush about for work, but with their southern leisurely, quiet and warm hospitality is famous for its character, the residents of the Midwests character can be described as practical, stubborn, and tradition, the western residents seem to be more independent, attach importance to individualism, live along the west coast of the United States people impressed us is recreational, relaxed and optional. Youre going to be on a trip to the United States, and youre going to have to look at the cities where youre going to school, and youre going to have a general idea of what youre going to do in these areas.

对于美国文化的认识决不能止于从电视上了解到的内容，因为，她有着自己最鲜明的特点，那就是多样性。作为一个拥有庞大移民人口的国家而言，美国不存在唯一的生活方式，不存在唯一的行为标准，更不存在唯一的文化。美国的多样性渗透在国家的各个方面，以下的指南也许不能帮你克服所有因文化差异而带来的困扰，但希望能对大家为留学美国而做的基本准备和大致计划有所帮助。

美国人的生活习惯与中国人有很大不同，美国食物味道清淡，制作简单迅速，主菜为肉、鱼、鸡类。一餐中一般仅一道主菜，而沙拉和咖啡是绝不能少的。热狗和汉堡包是最流行的两种快速食品。

美国人生性好动，每年都有超过1/5的人搬家。各地星期日的报纸登载周内租售房屋与寓所的最详尽名单，可以通过这些资料找房子，也可以找当地的地产经纪人。租房子除要付租外，一般还要付公用事业费，即煤气、电、暖气、热水和简单的电器修理及其他修理费。租金通常一个月，一般每月的第一天付。美国大部分地区的电力为110-120伏，60Hz。

美国几乎每家都有小汽车，美国的高速路十分发达，四通八达，因此很多美国人工作地点与居住地很远。在假日里，他们经常全家驾车出游。市内最常用的交通工具是公共汽车和地铁。地铁一般都是日夜开行。出租汽车一般按路程(短程)或时间(远程)计费。全国实行靠右行车，大城市执行交通法规尤为严格。

美国人的时间观念

美国社会由于竞争激烈，充满了运动和变化，人们始终处于奔忙之中，结果也就养成了美国人的紧张时间观。“时间就是金钱”这句话是美国人对于时间的态度的最准确表达。美国人对于时间的珍视不仅仅因为他们认为时间是一种切实的事物，更重要的是他们认识到了时间的紧迫和缺乏。美国人相信，在时间的问题上可以充分反应出一个人的自身素质修养，以及他对于他人的尊重。所以，有一份详细的作息时间表，并严格的遵守它，是相当必要的。

所以我们强调做到准时，不仅仅是关乎到个人的日程安排，若你没有做到准时，反应出的是你对他人时间的不尊重。在学习生活中，除了准时上课外，更需要遵守的是各种学习任务的截止时间安排。美国学校的教学方式一般是老师安排给学生一项课题，然后会由学生几个人之间结成学习小组共同来进行。学习小组中的每个人都会负责不同的方面，如果你没有在规定的截止日期内完成你负责的那一部分，影响的就是整个小组的成绩，这也是很多美国学生不断在抱怨的一个问题。所以，做到准时是在美国学习和生活的一个最基本的要求。

美国人的交流方式

与人交谈是人际交往中最基础的形式。当你与来自世界各地的朋友们交谈时，你们之间交流的不仅仅是彼此的观点和话题，更深层次的是在进行着文化的交流。语言表达的方式往往可以反应出某个地区或是某个国家的特色。

◎直接爽快

大多时候，美国人的谈话属于有一种想要获取信息的趋势。他们喜欢提出很多问题，并且是用很直接的方式。他们会用最简单直接的语言表达来获取自己想要的信息，这过程中，他们并不太在意措辞是否优美，意思表达是否婉转等问题，这有时不免会让与之对话者有一种不太礼貌的感觉。回答问题也是一样，当答案是否定的时候，美国人会直接告诉你“不“，同样不会去为他的答案进行润色，若是你没有提前了解到他们这种说话习惯，那感觉尴尬就是在所难免的了。

◎积极提问

美国人的交流方式中还有一个明显的特点就是毫不犹豫的提问。在交谈过程中，如果美国人有不明白，没听清的地方时，他们通常会及时的向对方把问题提出，直到弄懂为止。这一特点在课堂上成为被鼓励的做法。在美国的课堂上，学生可以随时向授课教室提出任何相关问题，而授课者都会极为乐意的为学生解答问题。所以，美国的课堂总是会让学生在轻松，互动，积极的氛围里吸收知识。

◎肢体语言

人类交流的工具不仅仅是语言，还有肢体语言。说话时的手势，身体的姿势，以及脸部的表情都是恰当运用肢体语言的关键，我们要分场合，分对象，分话题的灵活调整和运用肢体语言。其中目光接触则是上述要素中的关键。交谈时要时刻保持自己的目光是与对方相接触的，目光自然和善即可。这一点也是美国人相当看重的。

这里我们给大家提供几个很适合与几乎所有美国人交谈的话题：

天气情况和心情

自己以往的某些经历

自己的校园生活，或是工作内容

汽车，时尚，购物，影视，音乐，服装等休闲话题

同时我们应该避免以下话题：

存款，收入等与个人经济情况有关的话题

家庭情况

宗教信仰等等

最后需要提醒大家的一点是，当你对自己的幽默感并没有十足的把握时，最好不要随意发挥它。要知道，不同国家，不同文化，对幽默的认识是有所不同的，恰当的幽默可以活跃谈话气氛，反之则很容易引起不必要的误解或是不愉快。

美国一共划分为50个州，每个州都有不同的行政法规，再加上地理位置，气候条件的差异，就导致了各州的居民都有着不同的生活习惯。这里同样体现的是美国的多样性。

气候不同是首要考虑的问题。另外一方面就是心理上的准备。不同地区的居民有着不同的性格特征，比如：东部的人看起来总是匆匆忙忙的，为工作而奔波着，南部的人却是以他们悠闲，平静并且热情好客的性格特点而闻名，中西部的居民的性格可以被形容成实际的，固执的，还有一点传统，西部居民显得比较独立，重视个人主义，沿西海岸居住的美国人给我们的印象就是休闲，放松，随意。将要踏上美国之旅的你，需要针对就读学校所处城市，在这些方面搜集资料，提前有个大体的概念。

This is a good news for Chinese singers, it is said that there will be a Chinese music group and a man invited to performance in the American famous music show. It sounds so inspiring, it seems that Chinese music has been introduced into American market. While the fact is not, the invited Chinese singers only get their performance when the advertisement time comes, it is so awkward, they are given the unimportant time. Chinese music still not get into the American musical market, American people just want to catch Chinese people’s attention and go into Chinese market, so they invited the Chinese singers. I believe that our Chinese music will get be popular around the world some day.

这对于中国歌手来说是个好消息，据说中国的一个乐团和一个男歌手受到邀请去美国著名的音乐节目表演。这听起来很励志，似乎中国的音乐已经打进了美国的市场然而事实并非如此，受到邀请的歌手仅仅只在广告的时间来进行他们的表演，这是多么尴尬啊，给予他们的时间是如此的不受重视。中国的音乐仍然没有打进美国英语市场，美国人民只是想要吸引中国人的注意，打进中国的市场，因此他们邀请了中国的歌手。我相信中国的音乐总有一天会在全世界变得流行。

the average family income of the u.s.a. has increased from 20,000 dollars per year in 1992 to 25,000 in 20xx. along with this considerable increase in people’s income, the way in which the average family spends its income has also varied to some extent. the average expenditure of family income is divided into several sectors, namely, housing, clothing, food and drink, transport, medical care, entertainment, savings and other items.

from the table, it is quite interesting to find that the money spent on some sectors such as food and drink (2%) and entertainment (6%) in 1992 and 20xx remains the same. for transport, the percentage of 20xx is only 1% larger than that of 1992. it is also worth mentioning that in 20xx, people tend to save less money than in 1992 because people deposit only half the money they used to in 1990. there is a greater increase in the expenses on housing and medical care, increasing by 8% and 6% respectively. on the other hand, people tend to spend less money on clothes, for there is a 5% decrease in 20xx compared with that in 1992. as far as other items are concerned, there is a sharp decrease in the percentage of family income spent on them, accounting for only 7% of the total.

it can be seen from the statistics that in american people’s life food and drink, entertainment and transport had always been important. with family income increasing, american people began to give first priority to housing and medical care, thereby improving their living conditions and invigorating health. by saving less, they presented to us the implication that they expected a fairly secure prospect.

There are many important people have been in my life, and one of them I will never forget. I met him last summer. He was short and tanned, and was about twelve years old. He was selling the balloons on the sideway when I met him, I was curious and asked him:” why do you do business at such young age?” he said:” I’m not doing business, I have been saving money. I want to donate it to the disaster area, the children there need help.” I was surprise, and ashamed. I bought many balloons from him and asked him to keep the change. I should learn from him to be a kind-hearted person.

在我的生命中出现过很多重要的人，其中有一个非常难忘。我是在去年夏天的时候遇见他的。他个子很矮，皮肤黝黑，比我年纪还小。我遇见他时他正在路边卖气球，我非常好奇就问他：“你为什么年纪那么小就做生意了?”他回答说：“我不是在做生意，我正在存钱。我想把钱捐到灾区，那里的孩子们需要帮助。”我感到很惊讶，也很惭愧。我向他买了许多气球，不用找零。我应该像他学习，做个有爱心的人。

While Paris may hold the official title,the City of Lights is better represented by Americas Playground,Las Vegas.This notorious hedonist destination offers visitors every opportunity to make it or break it,beckoning them with pulsating neon and the chance to win big,not to mention plenty of great restaurants,bars,clubs and shopping venues where you can proudly flaunt your winnings.Theres no question as to why Las Vegas was given the nickname,Americas Playground.

Mary is an American girl. She has a round face. She has golden hair and blue eyes. She looks very beautiful. Mary is very good at English and always helps us practise English. She has a good sense of humour. She is generous and always willing to share things with us and makes us very happy. She is very interested in Chinese. But she can’t speak it well.

the ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of thomas jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life.

the american revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern england became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern europe at the end of the eighteenth century. it may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the atlantic ocean, but only in the north american colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation.

here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. they included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty.

with the american nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.

Chinese Families and American Families

提纲

1。 中国家庭与美国家庭的共性。

2。 中国家庭与美国家庭的个性。

Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be。 Most young Chinese parents have only one child， while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have。

However， unlike the Chinese young people， many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents。 They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married。 Many of them would almost never live with their parents again。 It is a sad thing indeed。

Things are different in China。 Both the young and the old admit the problems between them， but they will try to understand each other。 Besides， sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children。 So it is still very common in todays China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents。 However， China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof。

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.

The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals value, the pursue of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation(开拓, 经营) and competition and the need of realistic and practicality. Its core is individualism: self first, personal need first, pursue of individual benefit and enjoyment, emphasize on achieving individual value by self-strive and self-design. This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized individualism has its pros and cons, it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the entire race and nation; on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.

American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes. They have great sense in their hearts to praise succeand heroes. Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind. Americans have very strong senses of success. Succeis the pursuit of most Americans, it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward. They believe that ones personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career. Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes. The proceand result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.

American society has great movements within itself. These movements are shown in two aspects: movements amongst locations and movements inside the society. The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom. Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities, from downtown to uptown; and from north to the southern sunny land, from one city to another. Unlike European countries, the social classes in America is not so stable. Further more, with the advocation of public education, movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible. Many people living in the states, no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas, have the same dream of changing their social claand make their lifetime dream come true through their own efforts. This is what they often called "American dream".

Today were going to visit Stanford university, a very old university, and its recognized as one of the worlds most distinguished universities.

Our bus stopped at Stanford university, and I saw an antique building. All the way forward, the building that was built of stone, though made of stone, was built very fine, with different patterns engraved on it. It was then that I was attracted by a church building, whose metope was a beautiful picture of more than 20,000 pieces of Mosaic, which is the memorial church of Stanford university. At Stanford, there is no lack of sophistication, and even the flowers and plants are so finely manicured that, on a large lawn, the flowers and plants are pruned into a big Stanford university logo.

At Stanford, one hour at a time, we had to be reluctant to say goodbye to her. This famous university has given me so much hope that I can go to this university when I grow up.
