American Culture

I watched a video about American culture. In the video, a lot of pictures of American culture appeared such as Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Star Bucks, Madagascar, Mickey Mouth, Cinderella, Dunkin Donuts, Mossimo, Coca-Cola. This video showed me most of American culture because it talked about American food, weather, music, what to do for fun and American’s looks. I didn’t see what I wanted to see, for example American holidays or school system etc… Talking about food, I almost agree with everything what the video said but I don’t agree an answer which Americans eat bread a lot. I rarely see when Americans eat bread although I have been here almost 8 months. I agree with others such as Americans eat Macaroni cheese, Mashed potato, Pizza, Steak, Hamburger, Fried Chicken rice caw, pig, cow and Donuts. Many people talked about weather of America but the opinions from some of them are different. Some of them said that it’s very hot, not humid and dried. Some people said that rain a lot, wind, storm and tornado. Others said that it’s very cold and a lot of snow. Why their opinions are different was that I think they were thinking about different part of America. As we know, America is a very big country with has 50 states. The weather among north, south, east and west are very different. Americans like a variety of music such as Dance music, Gasp, Rock, Rock & Roll, Hip Hop, Classic and country. Americans do a lot of things for fun such as camping, barbecue, playing a game eating chips, going to a part and doing Frisbee, chasing butterfly, flying in an airplane, skiing, playing with cats, playing computer games, running, going to beach, flying kite and dance party. I do most of them for fun like an Americans but I sometimes go to Karaoke, restaurant or amusement park for fun. People from other countries think Americans are big, and fat, white or black. They have also beautiful blond hair, long legs, high nose and blown or blue eyes. My opinions about Americans’ appearance how to have fun haven’t changed at all from before but my opinions about food and weather and music have changed a lot. I expected food in a restaurant is not expensive in America but actually it’s more very expensive than my expectation. I expected that weather in Mississippi is very worm all the year because it is south but it’s very cold and sometimes it snows in winter. I expected Pop music is very popular in every states but it was wrong. Depending on a state, the popular music is different. Here, in south, usually country music or Jazz are very popular. I think America has diversified cultures because there are so many races and nationalities. America is also very interesting country. If I ask “What is the official language in America?” Everybody may answer “It is English.” but actually it is wrong. America doesn’t have any official language. A variety of languages are spoken in America.
