美国英语作文 篇1

  Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year。 It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints' Day。 However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly。

  Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins。 Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside。 It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack—o'—lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern"。

  The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween。 Some children paint their faces to look like monsters。 Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house。 Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown—ups put treat—money or candy in their bags。

  Not only children, but most grown—ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them。 This bring them the satisfaction of being young。

  the average family income of the u.s.a. has increased from 20,000 dollars per year in 1992 to 25,000 in 20xx. along with this considerable increase in people’s income, the way in which the average family spends its income has also varied to some extent. the average expenditure of family income is divided into several sectors, namely, housing, clothing, food and drink, transport, medical care, entertainment, savings and other items.

  from the table, it is quite interesting to find that the money spent on some sectors such as food and drink (2%) and entertainment (6%) in 1992 and 20xx remains the same. for transport, the percentage of 20xx is only 1% larger than that of 1992. it is also worth mentioning that in 20xx, people tend to save less money than in 1992 because people deposit only half the money they used to in 1990. there is a greater increase in the expenses on housing and medical care, increasing by 8% and 6% respectively. on the other hand, people tend to spend less money on clothes, for there is a 5% decrease in 20xx compared with that in 1992. as far as other items are concerned, there is a sharp decrease in the percentage of family income spent on them, accounting for only 7% of the total.

  it can be seen from the statistics that in american people’s life food and drink, entertainment and transport had always been important. with family income increasing, american people began to give first priority to housing and medical care, thereby improving their living conditions and invigorating health. by saving less, they presented to us the implication that they expected a fairly secure prospect.

  each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items。 this convenience saves students from carrying textbooks, and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects。

  cheating in any form is strictly prohibited in american schools。 and in fact, high school students usually don‘t cheat。 a student caught in plagiarism, forgery, or copying another student faces severe discipline, even expulsion。

  school activities each school holds certain yearly activities for the entire school body, such as homecoming, prom night, holiday celebrations, etc。

  homecoming is celebrated each fall, usually on a weekend, and events leading up to it may last all week。 while homecoming is celebrated differently at each school, it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the homecoming king and queen, and ends with a football game and school dance。

  the prom is a formal dance for students in grades 11 and 12, and is generally anticipated as the most important social event of the school year。 it can also be a time of anxiety, as boys have to work up the courage to ask a date to the prom, and girls hope the right boy invites them。 these couples dress in formal clothes — girls in long gowns, boys in suits。 some students even arrange a limousine and driver for their group of friends to arrive in style! at the prom, students dance, have snacks and drinks, and chat。 prom usually ends with a prom king and queen being announced and crowned on stage before an envious audience。

  besides hosting events for holidays such as the fourth of july and halloween, individual high schools often have their own special events。 one day might be “inside out/backwards day,” where students and teachers should wear their clothes reversed all day, perhaps walk and speak backwards, and even go to classes in opposite order。 and some schools hold contests where, if certain academic goals are met, the principal will kiss a pig, shave his mustache, or dress as a woman for the day。

  sports most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events, and all students are encouraged to be involved in athletics。 schools often offer football, baseball and softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer。 some may even have sports like golf, swimming, gymnastics and cross-country skiing。

  jobs many high school students have part-time jobs by the age of 15 or 16, some even earlier。 their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns, but later they will likely get a job at a fast-food restaurant, video store, or clothing shop。

  driving sixteen years old is legal driving age in most states, and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can。 some parents allow their children to drive a family vehicle, and may even buy a car as a graduation present。 others prefer that their sons and daughters earn enough to purchase a used vehicle。 regardless, many teenagers feel it‘s a necessity to own a car, and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive。

美国英语作文 篇6

  "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.

  Notes:

  1. host family: 寄住家庭或接待家庭。学校安排那些圣诞节仍留在美国的国际学生住在当地的寄住家庭中。

  2. Santa Claus: 圣诞老人。

  3. Rudolph: 每到圣诞节,圣诞老人乘坐驯鹿雪撬给孩子们送礼物,其中指路的驯鹿的名字叫Rudolph,它的`鼻子是红色的,所以称其为"red-nose reindeer"。

  4. 街上的景象使车中响起一片惊奇的声音。set off: 激起,引起。

  5. carol: (圣诞)颂歌。

  6. drowsy: 困倦的。

美国英语作文 篇7

  Chinese Families and American Families

  提纲

  1。 中国家庭与美国家庭的共性。

  2。 中国家庭与美国家庭的个性。

  Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be。 Most young Chinese parents have only one child, while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have。

  However, unlike the Chinese young people, many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents。 They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married。 Many of them would almost never live with their parents again。 It is a sad thing indeed。

  Things are different in China。 Both the young and the old admit the problems between them, but they will try to understand each other。 Besides, sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children。 So it is still very common in today's China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents。 However, China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof。

  我们比赛的地方是在美国的旧金山,那里风景很美,我好期盼啊!可是爸爸妈妈还在犹豫。妈妈说:“美国的冬天很冷,现在美国的甲型流感很严重,还是安全第一啊!”爸爸说:“去美国的签证很严,不可能三个人同时出去,你们俩在外面我不放心,费用也很高的`!”

  哎,大人总有那么多理由,看来去美国还真是件难办的事呀!
