Higher Education in America
There is evidence that even incomplete university study gives a person better career prospects than none at all. So, it is accepted that the benefits of a university career are useful.
All this effort in America’s higher education is very expensive. Some of the costs come from fees and benefactions, particularly towards research, but most have to be paid from public funds. Parents favor big expenditures on higher education; a wider public opinion favors them for idealistic and cultural reasons, and because of the supposed value of education as an investment by society.
The first universities were developed by private charitable organizations. The private universities are still very important, and most of the best-known institutions, like Harvard, Yale and Princeton, are private.
Most of the principal state universities have between 10, 000 and 30, 000 students, and some have increased rapidly in the past few years. Private universities and colleges are generally smaller, and although they are more numerous than public institutions they have a smaller total number of students than those in public institutions. The private colleges vary very much in standards and reputation, from the world-famous and select to the cranky and the obscure①. The best known of all is Harvard.
There are also many junior colleges to which students may be admitted at the end of their high school career, providing only the first two years of university work.
For the most part Americans think that there’s some advantage in attending one of the better-known private institutions, in spite of the higher cost, rather than a state university. However, testate universities are becoming increasingly important, and some of them, particularly in the Midwest have a reputation practically equal to that of the private ones. Almost every state by now has several university institutions directly under the authority of the state government.

In China, the college entrance exam is believed to be the most cruel exam, which will decide a student’s future. Many young people complain about this educational system, they yearn for the western education, which is reported to be much eaiser. But the fact is that not all foreign students like that.
在中国,高考被认为是最残酷的考试,这将决定一个学生的未来。许多年轻人抱怨这个教育体系,他们渴望西方的教育,西方教育一直被媒体报道上学轻松。但事实是,不是所有的外国学生都是这样轻松。
In America, high school students also need to take the very important exam so as to enter the college. Part of students choose to study in community college or just go to work, so they don’t have much pressure. They enjoy the high school life with joining many activities and taking all kinds of parties. But for the students who want to enter the top university, high school is not easy for them. They need to spend extra hours to study after class, which is much like Chinese students.
在美国,高中学生也需要参加非常重要的考试,为了上大学。一部分学生选择在社区大学学习或者是直接工作,所以他们没有太多的压力。他们享受高中生活，加入许多活动和各种各样的派对。但是那些想进入顶尖大学的学生,高中是不容易的。他们需要花额外的时间去课后学习,就像中国学生。
Actually, no matter in which country, every student needs to spend a lot of time studying in order to be competitive. If you yearn for an ease environment in high school, then you’d better prepare for the unexpected future.
其实,不管在哪个国家,每个学生都需要花大量的时间学习，才能有竞争力。如果你渴望在高中处于一个轻松的环境,那么你最好准备好迎接意想不到的未来。

美国英语作文 篇7
我从小就喜欢旅游，上幼儿园起，我就梦想着出国去旅游。
四年级时，我本想和同学一起去新加坡，却因为年龄太小，被爸爸妈妈拒绝。一转眼，到了五年级的暑假，本打算去日本的我又对日本严重的甲型H1N1流感望而却步。唉，我的梦想再一次破灭了。
现在，我已是七年级的学生了。一天，冯老对我们说：“今年暑假，我们又有出国去参加夏令营的活动。”我听后高兴极了：“嘿嘿，我又有机会圆梦了！”
中午，我飞快地吃完饭，然后飞奔到电话亭。
“滴滴，滴……”我拨通了妈妈的电话。“喂，妈妈，我们学校又组织去国外夏令营了，我想去美国。第一，我现在上初一，是个很关键的阶段，美国是现在最发达的国家，我去那里增长了见识一定会有利于我的学习的。第二，此去美国有足足三十天时间，能够给我一个充分的纯英语环境，对我的英语学习会大有帮助。第三，美国的东西卖得便宜……”我把我所有的理由都一一搬了出来。终于，功夫不负有心人，在我的软磨硬泡后，妈妈总算说：“那好吧，反正你都这么大了，也该见见世面了。不过你一定要珍惜这次机会，出去多学点东西吧。”
我高兴得跳了起来！我念叨了好几年的梦想终于可以实现了！在回寝室的路上，我看见天出奇地蓝，白云也仿佛变成了笑脸的形状，以往捣蛋的同学，也都比平常顺眼多了！
对了，去美国要住在居民家里，多学会一些英语的日常用语也是必不可少的。于是，我开始苦练英语，上课时，我比以前专心了许多。在上补习班的时候，我也让老师给我强化了一下口语，渐渐的，我的英语会话能力提高了。
这次去美国，一定会让我增长许许多多的见识，提高我的英语成绩，也会让我快乐。所以，我要好好珍惜这次机会，多学些知识，丰富我的人生。
