The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence.

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)?”
Recently watching American TV Dramas has become more and more popular with youth in our country. There are various kinds of reasons. Generally speaking, TV Dramas are suitable for the psychology of youth. The network technology will be developed as well at the same time. What’s more, it can make our spoken English well. Every coin has two sides, but it shows off a humanism, and spreads bad influences such as violence, etc.
I think the positive influences are more important than negative ones.
First of all, a number of American TV Dramas express duty, family, freedom, justice and love concept. It’s useful to develop youth’s recessive education. Only in this way will TV Dramas play a positive part and make up for shortcomings in political education. Next, it can broaden our eyes and knowledge and make us know what is different from home and abroad. With this method, we can know the western society. We’ll be affected by different culture ambience and ideology concept. Under the background of the whole world, knowing the cultures of western countries can promote each country’s communications well. In addition, In this process, TV Dramas play a role of bridge. Then, it will develop independent personality. America uphold particular concept and suggest their educational productions. Youth is the most energetic generation, encourages people show off personality and dares to break the outmoded conventions. It’s the prerequisite of innovation.
Finally, TV Dramas also help you face reality and surmount ideality. Nowadays, some youth always depend on others, such as their parents or friends. They also have idealism and is extremely conceited or inferiority. They often don’t find themselves in society, due to the influences of life education environment.
By this we can make a conclusion. No matter how hard it will be, we should always be free and try our best to conquer the enemy, just like the actors in the film. Another thing we have to remember is the great development of China. TV Dramas’ productions suggest the culture and psychological state of the country from some kinds of degree. It can promote our country’s economic development. Watching TV Dramas is a way to follow fashion. Therefore, everyone should work hard to make our country stronger and stronger. Through American TV Dramas, we should strengthen our duty and proud of our country. Let’s work together!
最近看美国电视剧已经在我国青年中越来越受欢迎。有各种各样的原因。一般来说，电视剧合适青少年的心理。同时，网络技术将被发展起来。更重要的是，它可以使我们的.英语口语变好。每个硬币都有两面，但它显示了一个人文主义，和传播的不良影响如暴力，等。
我认为积极的影响比消极的影响更重要。
首先，美国一些电视剧表达的责任，家庭，自由，正义和爱的概念。培养青年的隐性教育是有用的。只有这样，电视剧中扮演一个积极的角色，弥补政治教育的不足。其次，它能开阔我们的视野和知识使我们知道，国内外不同的是什么。用这种方法，我们可以了解西方社会。我们会受到不同的文化氛围和意识形态概念。在全世界的背景下，了解西方国家的文化可以促进各个国家的通讯。此外，在这一过程中，电视剧起到了桥梁作用。然后，它会培养独立人格。美国坚持特定的概念，建议他们的教育成果。青春是最充满活力的一代，鼓励人们展示个性，敢于打破陈规。这是创新的前提。
最后，电视剧也帮助你面对现实和超越的理想。如今，一些青少年总是依赖别人，如父母或朋友。他们也有理想主义和极其自负或自卑感。他们经常不能在社会中找到自己，因为生活教育环境的影响。
因此我们可以得出结论。不管有多难，我们都应该是自由的，尽我们最大的努力去征服敌人，就像电影中的演员。另一件我们需要记住的是，中国经济的巨大发展。电视剧作品从某种程度上表明了这个国家的文化和心理状态。它可以促进我国经济的发展。看电视剧是一路追随时尚。因此，每个人都应该努力使我们的国家越来越强大。通过美国的电视剧，我们应该加强我们的义务，让我们一起工作让我们的国家感到自豪。！
