——介绍美国的英语作文 (菁华5篇)
American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

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. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude.

The Culture of the United States is a Western culture, and has been developing since long before the United States became a country. Today the United States is a diverse and multi-cultural nation.
The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the familys own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin, and Americanized versions of these cultural foods, such as American Chinese cuisine or Italian-American cuisine often eventually appear. German cuisine also had a profound impact on American cuisine, especially the mid-western cuisine, with potatoes and meat being the most iconic ingredients in both cuisines.Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine.

According to the 20xx U.S. Census, more than 97% of Americans can speak English well, and for 81% it is the only language spoken at home. Nearly 30 million native speakers of Spanish also reside in the US. There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States-some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. American Sign Language, used mainly by the deaf, is also native to the country. Hawaiian is also a language native to the United States, as it is indigenous nowhere else except in the state of Hawaii. Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is one of the official languages, and the most widely spoken, in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Today we're going to visit Stanford university, a very old university, and it's recognized as one of the world's most distinguished universities.
Our bus stopped at Stanford university, and I saw an antique building. All the way forward, the building that was built of stone, though made of stone, was built very fine, with different patterns engraved on it. It was then that I was attracted by a church building, whose metope was a beautiful picture of more than 20,000 pieces of Mosaic, which is the memorial church of Stanford university. At Stanford, there is no lack of sophistication, and even the flowers and plants are so finely manicured that, on a large lawn, the flowers and plants are pruned into a big Stanford university logo.
At Stanford, one hour at a time, we had to be reluctant to say goodbye to her. This famous university has given me so much hope that I can go to this university when I grow up.

What Is American Dream?
什么是美国梦？
What is the American Dream? Is it the same for all Americans? Is it a myth? Is it sim* a search for a better life? How has the American Dream changed over time? Some see their dreams wither and die while others see their dreams fulfilled. Why? Everyone has dreams abut a personally fulfilled life... and what is your dream?
什么是美国梦？所有的美国人都是一样的吗？它是虚构的事吗？它是为了追求更好的生活吗？美国梦随着时间是如何改变的？有些人的梦想破灭了而有些人却实现了梦想。是什么原因呢？每个人都有自己想要实现的梦想，你的梦想是什么呢？
The term American Dream was first used by James Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown tired and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to get to the fullest stature of which they are capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."
美国梦这个词最早出现在詹姆斯·亚当斯1931年写的《美国史诗》这本书中。他写道：美国梦是指渴望生活在能够让人们生活丰裕富足的热土上，每个人都有机会实现自己的价值。它是一个欧洲上流社会很难理解和体会的梦想，并且我们中的相当多人对此持怀疑和不信任的态度。这个梦想不仅仅是拥有汽车和高工资，而且还应当包括这样一种社会秩序，在这种秩序下，男人和女人不论他们出身如何，社会地位如何，都能最大程度地实现自己的潜能并为他人所认可和接受”。
In the united States' Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers state: "... all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this view be considered the foundation of the American Dream?
在美国的《独立宣言》中，我们的创始人指出：“……所有的人人生而*等，创物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，这其中包括生命权，自由权和追求幸福的权利。”这一说法也许可能被视为美国梦的基础？
Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness of the west pursuing these Rights? Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty, happiness and their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II—to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family—tell us about this Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?
农场主为了寻找幸福离开了东部的.大城市，抛弃了他们在西部未知荒野上的土地，他们是在实现自己权利吗？移民来到美国，是为了自己想要的生活，追求自由、幸福和梦想吗？二战老兵的愿望又是什么呢，安定下来，有居住的房子，汽车然后组建家庭——告诉我们这就是梦想？所有美国人都能实现美国梦吗？马丁·路德金会认为自己能够梦想成真吗？马尔科姆·X实现自己的梦想了吗？

Football is the most popular sport in the world, many teenagers take it as their career and they work on it with their passion. It is known to all that American people love sports so much and there are many excellent athletes there. However, soccer in America is not that popular.
足球是世界上最受欢迎的体育运动，许多青少年把它当成职业，满怀热情。众所周知，美国人很喜欢运动，那里有许多优秀的运动员，然而，足球在美国并不受欢迎。
When talking about American football, people will naturally think about the special equipment, such as in the American movies, people have to wear helmet to protect themselves. American football is different from soccer. Soccer is not that popular in United States as people in other nations have played. Many American people even don’t know the rules. Especially for the older people, they show little interest in it.
当谈论到美式足球，人们自然会想到特殊的装备，比如在美国电影中，人们必须戴头盔来保护自己。美式足球不同于英式足球。足球在美国并不受欢迎，然而其他国家的人却满怀热情。许多美国人甚至不知道这些规则。尤其是老年人，他们都不感兴趣。
But the situation gets better for the young generation, many teenagers show much interest in soccer and their families give them great support. Soccer starts to become popular expression, which means the mothers drive the children to play game. American football team had made great improvement in the last World Cup. In the coming great match, more and more American public show much attention to it.
但年轻一代的情况有所好转，许多青少年对足球很感兴趣，他们的'家人也大力支持他们。足球开始成为一种流行的表达，这意味着母亲会开车送孩子去参加比赛。美国足球队在上届世界杯有很大的进步。在未来的大比赛中，会有越来越多的美国公众开始关注。
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*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*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*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*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。
The United States of America, also known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., and America, is a country in North America that shares land borders with Canada and Mexico, and a sea border with Russia. Extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, the United States is a federal republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C.
The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by indigenous tribes. After European exploration and settlement in the 16th century, the English established their own colonies—and gained control of others that had been begun by other European nations—in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence. In 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states and one federal district; it also has numerous overseas territories.
At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.5 million km), the U.S. is the third or fourth largest country by total area, depending on whether the dis*d areas of China are included. It is the world's third most populous nation, with nearly 300 million people.
The United States has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its Articles of Confederation on 1 March 1781 and the Constitution, the Articles' replacement, on 17 September 1787. American military, economic, cultural, and political influence increased throughout the 20th century; with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, the nation emerged as the world's sole remaining superpower. Today, it plays a major role in world affairs.
The earliest known use of the name America is from 1507, when a globe and a large map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Die-des-Vosges described the combined continents of North and South America. Although the origin of the name is uncertain, the most widely held belief is that expressed in an accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, which explains it as a feminized version of the Latin name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius); in Latin, the other continents' names were all feminine. Vespucci theorized, correctly, that Christopher Columbus, on reaching islands in the Caribbean Sea in 1492, had come not to India but to a "New World".
The Americas were also known as Columbia, after Columbus, prompting the name District of Columbia for the land set aside as the U.S. capital. Columbia remained a popular name for the United States until the early 20th century, when it fell into relative disuse; but it is still used poetically and appears in various names and titles. A female personification of the country is also called Columbia; she is similar to Britannia. Columbus Day, a holiday in the U.S. and other countries in the Americas commemorating Columbus' October 1492 landing.
The term "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence, adopted on 4 July 1776. On 15 November 1777, the Second Continental Congreadopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be 'The United States of America.'"
The adjectival and demonymic forms for the United States are American, a point of controversy among some.
This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather.
The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane.
Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking.
The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.
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*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，*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。！
现在，许多人喜欢出国留学。出国留学经常被认为是一个很好的机会，它能使人在旅途中获得光明的未来。我们不仅可以从国外学*不同的文化和知识，出国留学也可以丰富我们的生活。
一枚硬币有两面。同样，不同的人有不同的想法。对出国留学的保守和消极的关注已经逐渐从我们的社会中显现出来。人们开始怀疑出国留学出了什么问题。有几个问题值得我们讨论。
出国留学的不利因素可能影响文化和经济生活。我们*人如果出国留学，在国外生活，就会经历文化冲击。有些同龄人可能无法适应新的学*和生活环境，这可能与他们的'学*环境大不相同。生活是美好的，是艰难的。如果一个人对另一个国家的新文化感到不舒服，他在那个国家学*不会感到高兴。
此外，出国留学可能会给学生造成许多生活费。一些*学生在学业上很成功，因此在学*中获得奖学金。然而，大多数出国留学的同行都没有获得奖学金。此外，他们不得不远离父母和祖国，应付许多意想不到的困难。例如，医疗保险、日常饮食、衣服、租金和交通运输可以产生大量的生活费用。通常，他们需要在很大程度上依赖父母的海外月供。
Music 美国人的音乐爱好
James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."
一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的.音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。
Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and life's hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.
乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。
Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

Good morning teachers! I'm glad to introduce myself here. My name is.。. I'm s old and graduated from.。. I recieved preschool education in my school. I am good at dancing.I don't have any working experience because I just graduate. I am lively and open-minded and I like playing with children. I hope I can get chance from your school to show my ability. Thank you very much!
Good morning teachers! I'm glad to introduce myself here. My name is... I'm ...years old and graduated from... I recieved preschool education in my school. I am good at dancing.I don't have any working experience because I just graduate. I am lively and open-minded and I like playing with children. I hope I can get chance from your school to show my ability. Thank you very much!
Look, there is a little boy in the mirror, with a round head, a chubby face, thick earlobes and a tall head. This is me, Wang Jianwei.
I have many hobbies, such as reading, playing football and writing brush. Among them, I like writing brush best. Brush writing is not only my favorite, but also my characteristic; Once when I was practicing calligraphy, I passed a word several times, while others were still writing the same word. Maybe it's because every time the teacher talks about where to modify, where to write poorly, or where the font is wrong, I listen very carefully. Sometimes other students pass one or two words, but I can pass two or three words, or even four or five words.
My advantage is that I am very smart. When I take the Olympic mathematics class, I can "kill" many difficult problems. Once in the Mathematical Olympiad class, the teacher had a problem. Another student and I solved it, but others didn't do it. The students praised me as a mathematical genius.
My weakness is a little sloppy. In the math exam, I always didn't get 100 points because of some small mistakes. In the future, I will improve.
This is me. Would you like to make friends with me?
During my study in University, I learned the practical knowledge of my major and related majors, and completed relevant courses with excellent results, laying a solid professional foundation for future practical tasks From time to time, I have improved my own civilized quality and ideological and moral character, actively participated in various social activities, and made great efforts to improve my own comprehensive quality. Although I dare not say that I have achieved fruitful results, I am confident that I have mastered certain professional knowledge, accumulated a lot of practical experience, have a strong sense of responsibility, be diligent and down-to-earth, be able to enjoy and stand hard work, and have a certain spirit of innovation, Also pay attention to good teamwork spirit and personal concept, have a high degree of discipline, and have a strong ability to live and adapt to the environment.
In college, I served as monitor, Department Student Union officer, with strong organization and coordination skills. Strong dedication and sense of responsibility enable me to face any difficulties and challenges of the team.
If your company is willing to accept it, I will not seek a comfortable task environment, adhere to the task style of pleasure, hard work, hard work, and work hard. I will study modestly and work actively.
Good morning teachers! I'm glad to introduce myself here. My name is... I'm s old and graduated from... I recieved preschool education in my school. I am good at dancing.I don't have any working experience because I just graduate. I am lively and open-minded and I like playing with children. I hope I can get chance from your school to show my ability. Thank you very much!
hello everyone!
I am tall, round face, big eyes, this is me, xxx.
I have many advantages. For example, my physical education is very good. In physical education class, I have to be responsible for the whole team, leading exercises, etc. I am very busy all day. Do you understand why? Because I'm a sports commissioner. My math score is also relatively good, and I write very good characters when I write big calligraphy.
Although I have so many advantages, I also have many disadvantages. For example, I don't like reading extracurricular books. When it comes to writing, I can't touch it; I also have a problem that I love watching cartoons. I watch them for hours. I often forget my homework and have to do my homework in the middle of the night; I have another problem, that is carelessness. Every time I do my homework, I wipe a few big holes. Alas, I'm really unlucky!
But please rest assured that I will get rid of these problems.
Thank you!
First of all, please allow me to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all leaders. Thank you for giving me such a good opportunity to study and exercise as a hairy boy who knows nothing.
Secondly, I have just left the University, and my mastery of the company's regulations, interpersonal relationships and abilities required by the company is almost zero. Therefore, in my future work, please give me more advice and forgive me!
Finally, I really want to use the shortest time to adapt myself to this environment, master the abilities that a purchaser must have, and do my part for this department and the company. I am not afraid of hardship, and I am willing to endure hardship. If any elder needs me to do anything in the future, I dare not say that I can meet the standards you require, but I promise to do my best within my ability.
That's all for my new self introduction. Thank you sincerely!
My name is x, From Changsha.
I love to laugh, love music, love simplicity, love excitement, love listening to music, make friends, love freedom, love to have fun with others, love the excitement of holding, also love the funny nonsense, love the quiet enjoyment, and love the madness and bustle. That's how I am, regardless of whether you appreciate it or not, I still stumble on the road of my life without losing my posture.
My history has no dazzling decoration, only step by step to prove my hardship and firmness. Having been a league secretary, I know the difficulty and responsibility of the League secretary; Having been a study committee member is not an idle job in the imagination, but must be responsible for everyone's study; Only after obtaining the "three good students" can we understand that success is not easy and easy, but real and unremitting efforts; He has won the "excellent class cadre" and finally tasted the sweetness of "seeking his government in his position". After all, this has become history. What I want to do is to seize the opportunity in the new journey of college students, show myself and share the surprises brought by the university with everyone.
Entering university means unlimited opportunities, an opportunity to conquer new fields. I want to enrich my life in college, cultivate my ability, "think of the good and think of the good", and constantly improve myself. The stage is so big, I will work very hard, very hard, very hard to fight and struggle. I won't regret all the way to college.
In University, I want to show you the most awesome self.

Chusok ("fall evening") is a Korean "Harvest Moon" (Han-gawi) festival set on the 15th day of the eighth lunar moon. Chusok (韩国中秋节)， also known as the Korean Thanksgiving or Mid-Autumn Festival， is one of the most celebrated Korean holidays. It occurs during the harvest season. Thus， Korean families take this time to thank their ancestors for providing them with rice and fruits.
The celebration starts on the night before Chusok and ends on the day after the holiday. Thus， many Korean families take three days off from work to get together with family and friends.
The celebration starts with a family get-together at which rice cakes called "Songphyun" (蒸糕) are served. These special rice cakes are made of rice， beans， sesame seeds， and chestnuts. Then the family pays respect to ancestors by visiting their tombs and offering them rice and fruits. The Koreans visit the graves of their ancestors to bow and clean the area for the coming winter. In the evening， children wear their favorite hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) and dance under the bright moon in a large circle. They play games and sing songs. Like the American Thanksgiving， Chusok is the time to celebrate the family and give thanks for their blessings.
Community activities include masked dance， Kanggangsuwollae， an ancient circle dance， tug-of-wars and the tortoise game， kobuk-nori (乌龟游戏)， in which two men dress as a tortoise and tour the village dancing and performing for food and drink. Most of all， Chusok is a time to give thanks for the autumn harvest and reaffirm familial and community ties.
