美國英語作文 篇1
"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas…"Have you heard that song? Yup! It's Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.
Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. That's why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.
Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynski's house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.
As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a party's on!
What's more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windows…everywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santa's hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.
Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didn't want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didn't make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.
Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.
Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!
We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books… I was very happy, and I didn't know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.
Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!
In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynski's brother, Uncle Stan's house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Niko's grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynski's parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.
After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

美國的老人
以前美國都是大家庭。人們孩子很多,祖父母和曾祖父母都和家人在一起生活。但現(xiàn)在,家庭越來越小,許多老人獨自生活。與此同時,美國人越活越長。老年人的數(shù)目總在不斷增長。
有些老人喜歡呆在他們原來的房子里。他們不愿意從舊房子里搬出來。他們不想離開家鄉(xiāng)。他們想住在朋友和家人附近。但是有些老人朋友不多,他們想結(jié)交新人,他們想和其他同齡的老人共同居住在一個僻靜的地方。
很多老人正在遷往南部,那里天氣暖和。冬天的時候不需要在雪中走路,也不需要交大筆取暖費。
很多老人正在遷往只允許老人居住的南部城市。其中之一就是亞利桑那州菲尼克斯附近的太陽城。太陽城居住的所有家庭都必須有一個成員在50歲以上,18歲以下的孩子能住在那里。
美國英語作文 篇3
我從小就喜歡旅游,上幼兒園起,我就夢想著出國去旅游。
四年級時,我本想和同學(xué)一起去新加坡,卻因為年齡太小,被爸爸媽媽拒絕。一轉(zhuǎn)眼,到了五年級的暑假,本打算去日本的我又對日本嚴重的甲型H1N1流感望而卻步。唉,我的夢想再一次破滅了。
現(xiàn)在,我已是七年級的學(xué)生了。一天,馮老對我們說:“今年暑假,我們又有出國去參加夏令營的活動!蔽衣牶蟾吲d極了:“嘿嘿,我又有機會圓夢了!”
中午,我飛快地吃完飯,然后飛奔到電話亭。
“滴滴,滴……”我撥通了媽媽的電話!拔,媽媽,我們學(xué)校又組織去國外夏令營了,我想去美國。第一,我現(xiàn)在上初一,是個很關(guān)鍵的階段,美國是現(xiàn)在最發(fā)達的國家,我去那里增長了見識一定會有利于我的學(xué)習(xí)的。第二,此去美國有足足三十天時間,能夠給我一個充分的純英語環(huán)境,對我的英語學(xué)習(xí)會大有幫助。第三,美國的東西賣得便宜……”我把我所有的理由都一一搬了出來。終于,功夫不負有心人,在我的軟磨硬泡后,媽媽總算說:“那好吧,反正你都這么大了,也該見見世面了。不過你一定要珍惜這次機會,出去多學(xué)點東西吧。”
我高興得跳了起來!我念叨了好幾年的夢想終于可以實現(xiàn)了!在回寢室的路上,我看見天出奇地藍,白云也仿佛變成了笑臉的形狀,以往搗蛋的同學(xué),也都比平常順眼多了!
對了,去美國要住在居民家里,多學(xué)會一些英語的日常用語也是必不可少的。于是,我開始苦練英語,上課時,我比以前專心了許多。在上補習(xí)班的時候,我也讓老師給我強化了一下口語,漸漸的',我的英語會話能力提高了。
這次去美國,一定會讓我增長許許多多的見識,提高我的英語成績,也會讓我快樂。所以,我要好好珍惜這次機會,多學(xué)些知識,豐富我的人生。
美國英語作文 篇4
the united states covers a large part of the north american continent。 its neighbours are canada to the north, and mexico to the south。
when this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from engand, it had thirteen states。 each of the states was represented of the american flag by a star。 all these states were in the eastern part of the continent。 as the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new states appeared on the flag。 for a long time, there were 48 states。 in 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of alaska and hawaii。
indians were the first inhabitants of the land which is now the united states。 there are still many thousands of the descendants of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country。 sometimes it is said that the indians are "the only real americans。"
most americans, however, are descendants of people who came from all over the world to find a new life in a new land。 those who came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of north america were mostly from england。 it is for that reason that the language of the united states is english and that its culture and customs are more like those of england than of any other country in the world。
美國占去北美大陸很大一部分土地。它北鄰加拿大,南接墨西哥。
這片土地剛從英國獨立出來,成為一個國家的時候,只有十三個州,每個州在美國國旗上由一顆星來代表。這些州都在東部。當這個國家不斷向西擴大,就增加了新的州,同時它們也出現(xiàn)在國旗上。很長一段時間,美國有48個州,可是,到1959年,國旗上又多了兩顆星,分別代表阿拉斯加和夏威夷。
印地安人是如今叫做美國的這塊土地上的最初居民,F(xiàn)在在全國各地仍然居住著許多這些原始居民的后裔。有時人們說印安人才是“真正的美國人”。
不過,大部分美國人是來自世界各地要在這個新世界里對找新生活的人的后代。那些最早大批來到北美東海岸建立家園的人大部來自英格蘭,也是由于這個原因,美國的國語為英語,而它的文化習(xí)俗也與英國的更為相像。
