美国英语作文篇4

　　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.

　　Different social attitudes: The british are, in some ways, less conservative than Americans - the drinking age is 18, not 21, homosexual civil unions are legal, and abortion hasn't been a serious political issue in years. Mixing religion and politics is extremely rare in the UK. On the other hand, there are stricter controls on some things - it's much harder to get a driving licence, and the age requirement is higher than in most states, there are speed cameras everwhere, CCTV cameras in many public places (although they may or may not be working), and carrying weapons or other objects for "self defence" is illegal (in particular, note that pepper spray is illegal).

　　Getting into a debate about the right to bear arms will be very time consuming, and may also lead people to think that you're a gun-nut before they've got to know you properly.

　　Smoking in enclosed public places is illegal - that includes pubs, the underground, train stations... more or less any non-residential building actually... (similar to New York, so not so much of a cultural difference there).

　　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.

　　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

　　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。
