美國英語作文 篇1
American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.
There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使復(fù)雜化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏豬肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.
Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

美國英語作文 篇4
On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or
large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how you'll be perceived. If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesn't articulate her words clearly, it' s an immediate turn-off. This isn't someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates. This doesn't mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster. All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprint
as distinctive as our fingerprints. Our voice is very personal and an important part of our identity. Some natural characteristics of our voice may be very appealing.
The idea is to take the voice with which you've been gifted and give it the very best sound that you can. With the right type of practice, by paying attention to the quality of your voice and by knowing how to properly express yourself,you' II almost immediately improve your opportunities in job interviews, social situations, in selling, and in running a meeting or addressing groups of people.
Let' s say it again, it all begins with the instrument, your voice. If its sound and quality is flawed and needs improvement, that' s where you start. That' s what everyone hears whether in casual conversation or in making a major speech to a large audience. Pure vowel sounds, articulation, proper breathing, expressive speaking patterns, a pleasing vocal range, naturalness, all these will make you get twice the result with half the effort.
美國英語作文 篇5
Today we set foot in a fascinating place - Barnard primary school in the holy land of Argo.
As soon as I got off the bus, a gentle breeze swept through the primary school, which was full of flowers and trees. Although it was winter, I felt that the four seasons were like spring. Then a man in a suit came over. He was very kind, and he was the principal of the elementary school. He waved kindly to us, and he led us into the learning paradise. As I entered the classroom, a joyful song echoed around my ears, and the dancing of passion was accompanied by a flexible body, which was very impressive! Then we walked into the school's long corridor, although it was in the United States, and did not celebrate the Spring Festival customs, but in the long corridor, the classroom still lights up the lanterns, welcomed the new spring. There, we met many new friends, and we met one-on-one, and the joy of our hearts was like a torrent of water.
Time at the moment our always stop, and at the moment our slip away, we must have to leave the intoxicating campus, I love love will not give up to looking at the campus behind him, want to have this wonderful memories forever treasure.
美國英語作文 篇6
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.
美國英語作文 篇7
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)?”
美國英語作文 篇8
Old People in America
In the old days,American families were bigger。 People had more children,and grandparents and great-grandparents lived with their families。 But now, families are smaller, and many old people
live alone。 At the same time, Americans are living longer and longer。 The number of old people is always growing。
Some old people like to stay in their old homes。 They do not want to move from their old homes。 They do not want to move from their hometown。 They are near their 。friends and family。 But some do not have a lot of friends。 They want to meet new people。 They want to live in a quiet place with other
people of their age。
A large number of old people are moving to the South。 It is warm there。 You do not have to walk through the snow in winter,or pay a lot of money for heating。
A large number of old people are moving to the South only for old people。 One of these is Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona。 All the families in Sun City must have one person over the age of 50 ,and children under 18 years old can't live there。
美國的老人
以前美國都是大家庭。人們孩子很多,祖父母和曾祖父母都和家人在一起生活。但現(xiàn)在,家庭越來越小,許多老人獨(dú)自生活。與此同時,美國人越活越長。老年人的數(shù)目總在不斷增長。
有些老人喜歡呆在他們原來的房子里。他們不愿意從舊房子里搬出來。他們不想離開家鄉(xiāng)。他們想住在朋友和家人附近。但是有些老人朋友不多,他們想結(jié)交新人,他們想和其他同齡的老人共同居住在一個僻靜的`地方。
很多老人正在遷往南部,那里天氣暖和。冬天的時候不需要在雪中走路,也不需要交大筆取暖費(fèi)。
很多老人正在遷往只允許老人居住的南部城市。其中之一就是亞利桑那州菲尼克斯附近的太陽城。太陽城居住的所有家庭都必須有一個成員在50歲以上,18歲以下的孩子能住在那里。
美國英語作文 篇9
the american revolution was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in france and russia, when both were already independent nations. significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. what happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. during the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.
america's war of independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. one was canada, which received its first large influ of english-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the united states. another was australia, which became a penal colony now that america was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. the third newcomer-the united states-based itself squarely on republican principles.
yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. in some states, notably connecticut and rhode island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already eisting. british officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and parliament.
美國英語作文 篇10
我從小就喜歡旅游,上幼兒園起,我就夢想著出國去旅游。
四年級時,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,到了五年級的暑假,本打算去日本的我又對日本嚴(yán)重的甲型H1N1流感望而卻步。唉,我的夢想再一次破滅了。
現(xiàn)在,我已是七年級的學(xué)生了。一天,馮老對我們說:“今年暑假,我們又有出國去參加夏令營的活動!蔽衣牶蟾吲d極了:“嘿嘿,我又有機(jī)會圓夢了!”
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。“喂,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,我去那里增長了見識一定會有利于我的學(xué)習(xí)的。第二,此去美國有足足三十天時間,能夠給我一個充分的純英語環(huán)境,對我的英語學(xué)習(xí)會大有幫助。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,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!
對了,去美國要住在居民家里,多學(xué)會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,我比以前專心了許多。在上補(bǔ)習(xí)班的時候,我也讓老師給我強(qiáng)化了一下口語,漸漸的,我的英語會話能力提高了。
這次去美國,一定會讓我增長許許多多的見識,提高我的英語成績,也會讓我快樂。所以,我要好好珍惜這次機(jī)會,多學(xué)些知識,豐富我的人生。
