Life in the USA To begin with I am a native Russian speaker, who have never been in the USA that my opinion about living in the States might be wrong. We can know something about living abroad from TV and mass media, but I am lucky enough to have a few conversations with Americans. The United States is a large country encompassing more than 300 million people. As we know Americans gain independence from Great Britain in 1776, so they are very proud about this. I can suggest that the July 4th is the greatest holiday for all country. There are a lot of immigrants in the USA, because people came to the United States to seek economic opportunity or religious freedom. From movies produced by Hollywood Russians tend to think that in America people are happy, because they always smile and say some “positive words” such as “fine!”, “great”, “awesome” etc. The truth is that it is different and sometimes people from any part of the Earth can be sad and sometimes complains about their problems. Another stereotype you can come across that in America always perfect weather all the time, but if we think logically it can not be true, because the USA has a huge territory that is why climate must be different. From my point of view, American people are extremely concerned about job and money, they often might be overwhelmed. It is very true that “time is money” and “saved dollar is earned dollar” and people appreciate time and money a lot. For that reason, Americans believe that if someone has a problem with someone else, they should tell the person clearly and directly in order to come up with a solution to the problem and save time, money and efforts. Moreover, American people create encouraging, but competitive environment. On the one hand it is helps to do all the best, from the other hand it provokes stress atmosphere so some specific illnesses connected with high BP and blood sugar level. To continue, heath topic some Americans are overweight because they consume junk food from McDonalds and other kinds of fast food. However, many Americans are trying to look after their health: keep healthy diet, try to exercise on daily bases and do regular medical check-ups.I can mention that the USA has a highly developed social services and much attention is paid to people with disabilities. To conclude, it is evident to me that America is highly developed country with a lot of traditions and it is hard to describe all points of life in the USA.
