美国英语作文 篇1

　　The Culture of the United States is a Western culture, and has been developing since long before the United States became a country. Today the United States is a diverse and multi-cultural nation.

　　The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the family's own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin, and Americanized versions of these cultural foods, such as American Chinese cuisine or Italian-American cuisine often eventually appear. German cuisine also had a profound impact on American cuisine, especially the mid-western cuisine, with potatoes and meat being the most iconic ingredients in both cuisines.Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine

　　The primary, although not official, language of the United States is American English. According to the 20xx U.S. Census, more than 97% of Americans can speak English well, and for 81% it is the only language spoken at home. Nearly 30 million native speakers of Spanish also reside in the US. There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States—some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. American Sign Language, used mainly by the deaf, is also native to the country. Hawaiian is also a language native to the United States, as it is indigenous nowhere else except in the state of Hawaii. Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is one of the official languages, and the most widely spoken, in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

　　There are four major regional dialects in the United States: northeastern, south, inland north, and midwestern. The Midwestern accent (considered the "standard accent" in the United States, and analogous in some respects to the received pronunciation elsewhere in the English-speaking world) extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" across the Midwest to the Pacific states.

　　现在，许多人喜欢出国留学。出国留学经常被认为是一个很好的机会，它能使人在旅途中获得光明的未来。我们不仅可以从国外学习不同的文化和知识，出国留学也可以丰富我们的生活。

　　一枚硬币有两面。同样，不同的人有不同的想法。对出国留学的保守和消极的关注已经逐渐从我们的社会中显现出来。人们开始怀疑出国留学出了什么问题。有几个问题值得我们讨论。

　　出国留学的不利因素可能影响文化和经济生活。我们中国人如果出国留学，在国外生活，就会经历文化冲击。有些同龄人可能无法适应新的学习和生活环境，这可能与他们的学习环境大不相同。生活是美好的，是艰难的。如果一个人对另一个国家的新文化感到不舒服，他在那个国家学习不会感到高兴。

　　此外，出国留学可能会给学生造成许多生活费。一些中国学生在学业上很成功，因此在学习中获得奖学金。然而，大多数出国留学的同行都没有获得奖学金。此外，他们不得不远离父母和祖国，应付许多意想不到的困难。例如，医疗保险、日常饮食、衣服、租金和交通运输可以产生大量的生活费用。通常，他们需要在很大程度上依赖父母的海外月供。

美国英语作文 篇3

　　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)?”
