美國英語名篇一
americans have a very different lifestyle than chinese people. american food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. a meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.
americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. the most detailed list of houses and apartments available on sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. in addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. the rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. electricity in most parts of the united states is 110-120 volts, 60hz.
almost every home in the united states has a car, and the american highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. they often go on a family trip during the holidays. the most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. the subway is usually run day and night. taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. the whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.
because of the fierce competition, the american society is full of movement and change, people are always in a hurry, and the result also has formed the americans' time view of tension. "time is money" is the most accurate expression of the american attitude to time. americans value time more than just because they think time is a tangible thing, but more importantly they recognize the urgency and lack of time. americans believe that the question of time can fully reflect a person's self-cultivation, and his respect for others. therefore, it is necessary to have a detailed schedule and strict adherence to it.
so we stress that being on time is not just about the inspanidual's schedule, but if you're not on time, it reflects your lack of respect for others' time. in the study of life, apart from being on time, it is necessary to observe the deadline of various learning tasks. american schools generally teach students a subject, and then a group of students form a study group. everyone is responsible for different aspects of learning team, if you don't have the prescribed deadline to complete you responsible for that part, influence is the whole team's performance, it is also a lot of american students constantly complaining about a problem. so being on time is a basic requirement for studying and living in the united states.
talking to people is the most basic form of interpersonal communication. when you're talking to friends from all over the world, you're not just talking to each other, you're communicating with each other. the way language is expressed can often reflect the characteristics of a particular region or country.
most of the time, conversations in the united states belong to a tendency to get information. they like to ask a lot of questions, and in a very direct way. they will use the most simple and direct language to get the information they want, the process, if they do not pay too much attention to wording beautiful, whether express tactfully, it sometimes inevitably conceded the interlocutors have a feeling not too polite. answer this question, too, when the answer is no, americans will tell you "no" directly, also won't go to touch up for his answer, and if you don't have to know in advance to their speech habits, it felt embarrassed is inevitable.
another obvious feature of the american way of communication is that there is no hesitation in asking questions. in the course of conversation, if americans don't understand what they don't understand, they often ask each other questions in a timely manner until they understand it. this feature is encouraged in class. in american classrooms, students can present any questions to the classroom at any time, and the lecturers will be more than happy to answer questions for students. therefore, american classroom will always make students absorb knowledge in a relaxed, interactive and positive atmosphere.
the tools of human communication are not just words, but body language. spoke of the gestures, body posture, and facial expressions are the key to proper use of body language, we will spanide the occasion, object, subject of flexible adjustment and use body language. eye contact is the key of the above elements. keep your eyes on the other side of the conversation while you're talking. this is something americans value too much.
here are a few topics that can be used to talk to almost all americans:
weather and mood
some of my past experiences
my own campus life, or work content
car, fashion, shopping, tv, music, clothing and other casual topics
at the same time, we should avoid the following topics:
savings, income and other topics related to the personal economic situation
family situation
religious beliefs and so on
the last thing to note is that when you don't have a good grasp of your sense of humor, it's best not to play it at will. you know, different countries, different culture, have different understanding of humor, and the appropriate humor can active conversation atmosphere, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, or conversely.
were spanided into 50 states, each state has different administrative rules and regulations, combined with geographical location, climate condition difference, leads to the residents of the states have different living habits. the same is true of america's spanersity.
climate change is a top priority. on the other hand is psychological preparation. residents in different regions have different characteristics, such as: the east people look is always in a hurry, rush about for work, but with their southern leisurely, quiet and warm hospitality is famous for its character, the residents of the midwest's character can be described as practical, stubborn, and tradition, the western residents seem to be more independent, attach importance to inspanidualism, live along the west coast of the united states people impressed us is recreational, relaxed and optional. you're going to be on a trip to the united states, and you're going to have to look at the cities where you're going to school, and you're going to have a general idea of what you're going to do in these areas.
對于美國文化的認(rèn)識決不能止于從電視上了解到的內(nèi)容，因?yàn)?，她有著自己最鮮明的特點(diǎn)，那就是多樣性。作為一個(gè)擁有龐大移民人口的國家而言，美國不存在唯一的生活方式，不存在唯一的行為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，更不存在唯一的文化。美國的多樣性滲透在國家的各個(gè)方面，以下的指南也許不能幫你克服所有因文化差異而帶來的困擾，但希望能對大家為留學(xué)美國而做的基本準(zhǔn)備和大致計(jì)劃有所幫助。
美國人的生活習(xí)慣與中國人有很大不同，美國食物味道清淡，制作簡單迅速，主菜為肉、魚、雞類。一餐中一般僅一道主菜，而沙拉和咖啡是絕不能少的。熱狗和漢堡包是最流行的兩種快速食品。
美國人生性好動(dòng)，每年都有超過1/5的人搬家。各地星期日的報(bào)紙登載周內(nèi)租售房屋與寓所的最詳盡名單，可以通過這些資料找房子，也可以找當(dāng)?shù)氐牡禺a(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人。租房子除要付租外，一般還要付公用事業(yè)費(fèi)，即煤氣、電、暖氣、熱水和簡單的電器修理及其他修理費(fèi)。租金通常一個(gè)月，一般每月的第一天付。美國大部分地區(qū)的電力為110-120伏，60hz。
美國幾乎每家都有小汽車，美國的高速路十分發(fā)達(dá)，四通八達(dá)，因此很多美國人工作地點(diǎn)與居住地很遠(yuǎn)。在假日里，他們經(jīng)常全家駕車出游。市內(nèi)最常用的交通工具是公共汽車和地鐵。地鐵一般都是日夜開行。出租汽車一般按路程(短程)或時(shí)間(遠(yuǎn)程)計(jì)費(fèi)。全國實(shí)行靠右行車，大城市執(zhí)行交通法規(guī)尤為嚴(yán)格。
美國社會(huì)由于競爭激烈，充滿了運(yùn)動(dòng)和變化，人們始終處于奔忙之中，結(jié)果也就養(yǎng)成了美國人的緊張時(shí)間觀。“時(shí)間就是金錢”這句話是美國人對于時(shí)間的態(tài)度的最準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)。美國人對于時(shí)間的珍視不僅僅因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為時(shí)間是一種切實(shí)的事物，更重要的是他們認(rèn)識到了時(shí)間的緊迫和缺乏。美國人相信，在時(shí)間的問題上可以充分反應(yīng)出一個(gè)人的自身素質(zhì)修養(yǎng)，以及他對于他人的尊重。所以，有一份詳細(xì)的作息時(shí)間表，并嚴(yán)格的遵守它，是相當(dāng)必要的。
所以我們強(qiáng)調(diào)做到準(zhǔn)時(shí)，不僅僅是關(guān)乎到個(gè)人的日程安排，若你沒有做到準(zhǔn)時(shí)，反應(yīng)出的是你對他人時(shí)間的不尊重。在學(xué)習(xí)生活中，除了準(zhǔn)時(shí)上課外，更需要遵守的是各種學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)的截止時(shí)間安排。美國學(xué)校的教學(xué)方式一般是老師安排給學(xué)生一項(xiàng)課題，然后會(huì)由學(xué)生幾個(gè)人之間結(jié)成學(xué)習(xí)小組共同來進(jìn)行。學(xué)習(xí)小組中的每個(gè)人都會(huì)負(fù)責(zé)不同的方面，如果你沒有在規(guī)定的截止日期內(nèi)完成你負(fù)責(zé)的那一部分，影響的就是整個(gè)小組的成績，這也是很多美國學(xué)生不斷在抱怨的一個(gè)問題。所以，做到準(zhǔn)時(shí)是在美國學(xué)習(xí)和生活的一個(gè)最基本的要求。
與人交談是人際交往中最基礎(chǔ)的形式。當(dāng)你與來自世界各地的朋友們交談時(shí)，你們之間交流的不僅僅是彼此的觀點(diǎn)和話題，更深層次的是在進(jìn)行著文化的交流。語言表達(dá)的方式往往可以反應(yīng)出某個(gè)地區(qū)或是某個(gè)國家的特色。
大多時(shí)候，美國人的談話屬于有一種想要獲取信息的趨勢。他們喜歡提出很多問題，并且是用很直接的方式。他們會(huì)用最簡單直接的語言表達(dá)來獲取自己想要的信息，這過程中，他們并不太在意措辭是否優(yōu)美，意思表達(dá)是否婉轉(zhuǎn)等問題，這有時(shí)不免會(huì)讓與之對話者有一種不太禮貌的感覺?；卮饐栴}也是一樣，當(dāng)答案是否定的時(shí)候，美國人會(huì)直接告訴你“不“，同樣不會(huì)去為他的答案進(jìn)行潤色，若是你沒有提前了解到他們這種說話習(xí)慣，那感覺尷尬就是在所難免的了。
美國人的交流方式中還有一個(gè)明顯的特點(diǎn)就是毫不猶豫的提問。在交談過程中，如果美國人有不明白，沒聽清的地方時(shí)，他們通常會(huì)及時(shí)的向?qū)Ψ桨褑栴}提出，直到弄懂為止。這一特點(diǎn)在課堂上成為被鼓勵(lì)的做法。在美國的課堂上，學(xué)生可以隨時(shí)向授課教室提出任何相關(guān)問題，而授課者都會(huì)極為樂意的為學(xué)生解答問題。所以，美國的課堂總是會(huì)讓學(xué)生在輕松，互動(dòng)，積極的氛圍里吸收知識。
人類交流的工具不僅僅是語言，還有肢體語言。說話時(shí)的手勢，身體的姿勢，以及臉部的表情都是恰當(dāng)運(yùn)用肢體語言的關(guān)鍵，我們要分場合，分對象，分話題的靈活調(diào)整和運(yùn)用肢體語言。其中目光接觸則是上述要素中的.關(guān)鍵。交談時(shí)要時(shí)刻保持自己的目光是與對方相接觸的，目光自然和善即可。這一點(diǎn)也是美國人相當(dāng)看重的。
這里我們給大家提供幾個(gè)很適合與幾乎所有美國人交談的話題：
天氣情況和心情
自己以往的某些經(jīng)歷
自己的校園生活，或是工作內(nèi)容
汽車，時(shí)尚，購物，影視，音樂，服裝等休閑話題
同時(shí)我們應(yīng)該避免以下話題：
存款，收入等與個(gè)人經(jīng)濟(jì)情況有關(guān)的話題
家庭情況
宗教信仰等等
最后需要提醒大家的一點(diǎn)是，當(dāng)你對自己的幽默感并沒有十足的把握時(shí)，最好不要隨意發(fā)揮它。要知道，不同國家，不同文化，對幽默的認(rèn)識是有所不同的，恰當(dāng)?shù)挠哪梢曰钴S談話氣氛，反之則很容易引起不必要的誤解或是不愉快。
美國一共劃分為50個(gè)州，每個(gè)州都有不同的行政法規(guī)，再加上地理位置，氣候條件的差異，就導(dǎo)致了各州的居民都有著不同的生活習(xí)慣。這里同樣體現(xiàn)的是美國的多樣性。
氣候不同是首要考慮的問題。另外一方面就是心理上的準(zhǔn)備。不同地區(qū)的居民有著不同的性格特征，比如：東部的人看起來總是匆匆忙忙的，為工作而奔波著，南部的人卻是以他們悠閑，平靜并且熱情好客的性格特點(diǎn)而聞名，中西部的居民的性格可以被形容成實(shí)際的，固執(zhí)的，還有一點(diǎn)傳統(tǒng)，西部居民顯得比較獨(dú)立，重視個(gè)人主義，沿西海岸居住的美國人給我們的印象就是休閑，放松，隨意。將要踏上美國之旅的你，需要針對就讀學(xué)校所處城市，在這些方面搜集資料，提前有個(gè)大體的概念。
美國英語名篇二

1.你的安排及相應(yīng)理由；

how is everything going?i’m glad to receive your letter, in which you asked about my plan for the coming summer holiday. and now i’m writing to tell you something about it.
