My stay in America was a unique opportunity for me to expose myself to the American culture
英语试题 05-10
My stay in America was a unique opportunity for me to expose myself to the American culture and see the diversity of people’s lives there.
Blacks, whites, Latinos, and Asians all are in one country, all are equal, and all know it is their home, where they have found or are still seeking for their American Dream. It was amazing to be part of the culture though for one year. It was interesting to learn that the North of America is different from the South and that the West varies from the East, such as the difference in people, in their perception of life and in their attitude toward each other, the respect for the family and their roots, and of course the history of their lands. Being in about nine states in the US, from the East to the West, I could see and learn the difference first-hand.
Before going to the US, I didn’t know much about the difference between the northern states and the southern ones. I didn’t know that the majority of the population living in California are Latinos, and that every second person that one sees speaks Spanish. I didn’t know that understanding the native speaker in New York is going to be harder than understanding someone from Atlanta, Georgia, either.
When people ask me about the US, I say, “You wouldn’t know. My America is different from that in the Hollywood movies. The America I was in is quiet, small, peaceful, supportive, and unique. ”
I have made a lot of friends in America, not only from the country itself, but also from many other countries. I never had a chance to be bored and never lacked an opportunity to learn about people’s cultures.
America unites a variety of people on its land. It is like music bringing people together on the dance floor.
4. How long did the writer stay in America?
