美國英語作文 篇1
The Americans are much in love with food. This is part of being American too. Baseball is Americans' national pastime1, but what's a ball game without hot dogs, peanuts2 and Cracker Jacks (sweetened popcorn3)? Hollywood is America's symbol of glamour4 and excitement all over the world, but who would watch a movie in America without asking for an extra large bag of popcorn? And the astronauts took instant orange drink [Tang] with them.
Americans love all kinds of food, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, French, Japanese and many others. The Americans are in fact
“The UN of Food.”
To get familiar with the American eating custom, one must know two things. First, one must know the sequence5 of service. There is something special in terms of the sequence, or order, of dish service in America compared with ours. Here is the order:
1. Aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase one's appetite7. The host or hostess will ask: “Do you like a cup of aperitif?”
2. Hors d'oeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.
3. Appetizer —or called starter, it is a small serving of juice, fruit or seafood or something else, at the beginning of a meal, to stimulate9 people's appetite.
4. Now the main course is under way:
a) Soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.
b) Fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.
c) Entree—the third course of a meal, generally it is made up of a hot meat.
d) Savory11—the last course in a formal meal, it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.
5. Dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal, usually it is a pudding, chocolate cake, or cheese and biscuits sometimes.
6. Coffee—that's the last stage in a formal present-day European and American dinner. It's served either at table or in the living room.
In a family treatment, the above-mentioned No 1-3 stage may be omitted13, though No 4 is the essential part. And the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food. Ostentation15 is never under consideration.
Another thing to mention is that serving oneself from one's own plate is popular in Europe and America, except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to one's need.
The second one we must know about the American eating custom is the taboos at table.
(1) Don't circle your plate with your arm. If you do so, you will become the focus16 of the table. Everyone would wonder: “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a false message that you don't like the food or something like that.
(2) Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you mean to remind17 the hostess that you've just completed a labor?
(3)Don't lean18 back and announce that “I'm through” or “I'm stuffed19.” Just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate, that's all.
(4) Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites20 at a time.
(5) Never take huge mouthfuls of anything. Do you mean to show how hungry you are? Don't do that! Be gentlemanlike or ladylike.
(6) Don't crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass. That looks too affected22, far from ladylike!
(7) Never wear too much lipstick23 to the table. It may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.
(8) It's never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish, for example). If the item you want is not at hand, simply ask for the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”

high school in america， after middle school comes high school， which includes grades 9 through 12。 students are required to take certain subjects like english， social studies， math， science， and physical education。 in addition， they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education。 electives include subjects in technology， music， art， and foreign languages。
each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items。 this convenience saves students from carrying textbooks， and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects。

homecoming is celebrated each fall， usually on a weekend， and events leading up to it may last all week。 while homecoming is celebrated differently at each school， it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the homecoming king and queen， and ends with a football game and school dance。
the prom is a formal dance for students in grades 11 and 12， and is generally anticipated as the most important social event of the school year。 it can also be a time of anxiety， as boys have to work up the courage to ask a date to the prom， and girls hope the right boy invites them。 these couples dress in formal clothes — girls in long gowns， boys in suits。 some students even arrange a limousine and driver for their group of friends to arrive in style！ at the prom， students dance， have snacks and drinks， and chat。 prom usually ends with a prom king and queen being announced and crowned on stage before an envious audience。
besides hosting events for holidays such as the fourth of july and halloween， individual high schools often have their own special events。 one day might be “inside out/backwards day，” where students and teachers should wear their clothes reversed all day， perhaps walk and speak backwards， and even go to classes in opposite order。 and some schools hold contests where， if certain academic goals are met， the principal will kiss a pig， shave his mustache， or dress as a woman for the day。
sports most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events， and all students are encouraged to be involved in athletics。 schools often offer football， baseball and softball， basketball， volleyball， tennis， and soccer。 some may even have sports like golf， swimming， gymnastics and cross-country skiing。
jobs many high school students have part-time jobs by the age of 15 or 16， some even earlier。 their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns， but later they will likely get a job at a fast-food restaurant， video store， or clothing shop。
driving sixteen years old is legal driving age in most states， and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can。 some parents allow their children to drive a family vehicle， and may even buy a car as a graduation present。 others prefer that their sons and daughters earn enough to purchase a used vehicle。 regardless， many teenagers feel it‘s a necessity to own a car， and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive。
美國英語作文 篇4
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.

Dear Jack ,

Dear Jack,
I’m really glad to hear from you and know you are getting along. I think it is common for you not to get used to the life there. Here I have some suggestions for you. First of all, you should respect local customs and involve yourself in the native’s lives. Just as a saying goes, “when in Rome, do as the Romans do”. Secondly, don’t forget to communicate with American students and make friends with them. Friendship will bring you happiness. What’s more, it is better for you to take more outdoor activities with your friends, which may help you relax and have fun. Finally, mind your own manners and remain modest and honest when getting along with your friends.
I hope you can adapt to your new life soon and enjoyed your stay there.
Keep in touch.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
美國英語作文 篇6
Americans sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that American values are universal ones. We can't always see that our values are actually typical American values. Instead, we assume the things Americans value are obviously what everyone should believe in.
But we should remember the saying: when you "assume," you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me." We only need to look at what happens when Americans go as advisors to developing countries to see how wrong our assumptions can be. Some Americans go thinking they're sharing pearls of wisdom with the backward natives about how to get things done right. They assume that stimulating competition and giving financial incentives for individual achievement will naturally change people's behavior and lead to success. When their projects barely get off the ground, they can't understand what went wrong. They mistakenly think that people must just be lazy or that they don't really want a higher standard of living.
So the advisors wind up getting discouraged and going home, grateful to be surrounded by hardworking Americans again.
In these situations, we should realize that American values may come from America's unique position as the land of opportunity. We are brought up with the American dream that everyone can work hard and get ahead. But we should realize that in countries with a different history and different opportunities, other values might be more important, like avoiding conflict or saving face.

移民美國后，相信很多移民者都對(duì)美國的節(jié)日有很大的興趣，也曾有人咨詢過移民專家，美國人過情人節(jié)嘛?回答當(dāng)然是肯定的。美國人怎樣過情人節(jié)?最傳統(tǒng)和流行的做法是給愛的人送鮮花送巧克力，或者一定要提前預(yù)定餐廳座位，吃一頓浪漫晚餐。 美國人并不認(rèn)為上了年紀(jì)的人就沒有必要過情人節(jié)，在美國，情人節(jié)可不是年輕人的專利，而是所有年齡段的情人節(jié)。另外，還有人總是錯(cuò)誤的以為，情人節(jié)是屬于未婚思維情人間節(jié)日。
在美國人概念里，情人節(jié)是屬于所有相親相愛的生活伴侶的節(jié)日。情人節(jié)這天，也是美國餐館最火爆的日子，好像比其它節(jié)日還火爆。
當(dāng)然，不僅是對(duì)于美國人，對(duì)于任何國家的人來說，情人節(jié)當(dāng)之無愧成為最浪漫的節(jié)日。移民美國后，你就會(huì)慢慢的融入進(jìn)美國人的生活中，類似美國人過情人節(jié)嗎?這類問題不用再咨詢，隨著生活就都了解了。
美國英語作文 篇8
我從小就喜歡旅游，上幼兒園起，我就夢(mèng)想著出國去旅游。
四年級(jí)時(shí)，我本想和同學(xué)一起去新加坡，卻因?yàn)槟挲g太小，被爸爸媽媽拒絕。一轉(zhuǎn)眼，到了五年級(jí)的暑假，本打算去日本的我又對(duì)日本嚴(yán)重的甲型H1N1流感望而卻步。唉，我的夢(mèng)想再一次破滅了。
現(xiàn)在，我已是七年級(jí)的學(xué)生了。一天，馮老對(duì)我們說：“今年暑假，我們又有出國去參加夏令營的活動(dòng)。”我聽后高興極了：“嘿嘿，我又有機(jī)會(huì)圓夢(mèng)了！”
中午，我飛快地吃完飯，然后飛奔到電話亭。
“滴滴，滴……”我撥通了媽媽的電話�！拔�，媽媽，我們學(xué)校又組織去國外夏令營了，我想去美國。第一，我現(xiàn)在上初一，是個(gè)很關(guān)鍵的階段，美國是現(xiàn)在最發(fā)達(dá)的國家，我去那里增長(zhǎng)了見識(shí)一定會(huì)有利于我的學(xué)習(xí)的。第二，此去美國有足足三十天時(shí)間，能夠給我一個(gè)充分的純英語環(huán)境，對(duì)我的英語學(xué)習(xí)會(huì)大有幫助。第三，美國的東西賣得便宜……”我把我所有的理由都一一搬了出來。終于，功夫不負(fù)有心人，在我的軟磨硬泡后，媽媽總算說：“那好吧，反正你都這么大了，也該見見世面了。不過你一定要珍惜這次機(jī)會(huì)，出去多學(xué)點(diǎn)東西吧�！�
我高興得跳了起來！我念叨了好幾年的夢(mèng)想終于可以實(shí)現(xiàn)了！在回寢室的路上，我看見天出奇地藍(lán)，白云也仿佛變成了笑臉的形狀，以往搗蛋的同學(xué)，也都比平常順眼多了！
對(duì)了，去美國要住在居民家里，多學(xué)會(huì)一些英語的日常用語也是必不可少的。于是，我開始苦練英語，上課時(shí)，我比以前專心了許多。在上補(bǔ)習(xí)班的時(shí)候，我也讓老師給我強(qiáng)化了一下口語，漸漸的，我的英語會(huì)話能力提高了。
這次去美國，一定會(huì)讓我增長(zhǎng)許許多多的見識(shí)，提高我的英語成績(jī)，也會(huì)讓我快樂。所以，我要好好珍惜這次機(jī)會(huì)，多學(xué)些知識(shí)，豐富我的人生。

美國英語作文 篇10
The American tour is over, and a little bit of the American swim through time and space tunnel, drip in my heart, printed in my mind.
America is an independent country. As for education, in China, we are all the baby in the family, holding hands in our hands, a little hurt is not willing to let us, more reluctant to stay away from our parents' arms. American parents are more relaxed about their children and let them succeed with their own efforts. I saw such a scene in the United States, a baby fell down, and the baby's mother didn't have as much pain as her parents in China, but taught him how to get up. At the sorran school in Los Angeles, there are many big brothers and sisters who are doing volunteer work to get credits, and they create their own world with their own hands. Our Chinese students may be little princess princesses at home. But in the United States, our landlady has made us experience our own dishes and the joys of labor. That's how two parents of different countries have different approaches to education kids. Perhaps, the pain is some, but only temporary, but the cowardice in the heart once formed, is permanent, cannot change. This is worth learning.
American thrift is more worth learning. In China, we may be a little wasteful, but in the United States, most of the meals are buffet. There are some Chinese students who have been watching for a while. Many students take a lot of food, but many of them are wasted, and americans eat as much as they can and never waste food. My MOM is a woman who knows her life well and doesn't live in a wealthy neighborhood, but her family has always been frugal. They have three cars, an armored car, a sports car and a car. Two of them are luxury cars, and one is a Mercedes Benz in the eighties. In China, people tend to drive luxury cars, and they usually drive old cars. They have a pool where they often hold parties, so that we have the privilege of meeting more foreigners.
On the first day to Los Angeles, Xu Mingjie very lucky and I attended a local wedding, it was a very romantic wedding, under the illuminate of lamplight, a couple looks very bright. Little girls and small, well-fitted dresses add another look to the wedding.
Christianity was the bishop of the United States, and in the soslan school, it was the propaganda of Christianity. In that, although we believe in Buddhism, we respect their Christian culture, which is the highlight of Chinese students abroad. Our family still goes to church on the weekend.
In the United States, we went to shopping malls, and the shop assistants were very enthusiastic about us, and we were in that crazy shopping, invisibility, which promoted the economic development of the United States. To think about, and why the salesman students enthusiasm for China, which is not China's continuous development, continuous increase in the national economy, despite this, we don't it is for the welfare of the United States?
After a week of study, we went on to the east, the White House, congress, the United Nations, Wall Street, Broadway... Let us experience another American amorous feelings.
I don't think americans are as gentlemanly as British people, but there are still places to learn, and I've benefited a lot from this trip to America.
