美国英语作文 篇1
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。
美国英语作文 篇2
There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine‘s Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries.
Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer‘s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it From Your Valentine. Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.
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)?”

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

Visitors to the United States are often surprised to learn the great distance from the east coast to the west coast. The continental United States stretches 4,500 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west. It borders Canada on the North,and reaches south to Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico. A fast train,travelling 96 kilometers an hour, takes more than 48 hours to cross the country. A jet plane crosses the continental United States from east to west in about five hours.
Including the states of Alaska and Hawaii,which are not seen in this map of the continental United States, the country covers an area of 9,363,123 square kilometers. Of the fifty states of the country Alaska is the largest in area,and Hawaii is the newest. The former borders on northwestern Canada: the latter lies in the Pacific.
