美国旅游作文

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 family's 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.[3] Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine

The primary, although not official, language of the United States is American English. According to the 2000 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.

There are four major regional dialects in the United States: northeastern, south, inland north, and midwestern. The Midwestern accent (considered the "standard accent" in the United States, and analogous in some respects to the received pronunciation elsewhere in the English-speaking world) extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" acrothe Midwest to the Pacific states.

作文是决定语文考试成绩的“半壁江山”，因此作文的成败往往决定了整个语文考试的成败。那么怎样让考试作文得高分呢?我觉得以下几点必须注意。

1、题和立意凡考试作文必须审题，原因是考生要在同一环境下，作公平的竞争。审题，就是要对试题展现的所有内容作全面、准确的审读和理解，把命题者的意图读出来，把题目的各种限制审清楚，明确要我写什么，怎么写，写到什么程度，真正做到全面领会，深刻把握，不偏不漏、不折不扣地按要求写作文。高考作文评判明确规定，凡审题有问题的试卷最后得分一般都不超过二类卷最低分。由此可见，审题的准确与否是作文成败的关键因素。立意，就是要作者站在时代的高度，去观察、认识生活，提炼主题，使主题体现时代的精神，既反映时代，也作用于时代，跳动时代的脉搏，推动着时代的前进。文章的“意”， 其实就是作者在体验生活中逐步孕育而成的一种思想，是作者的主观认识与客观实际相“撞击”的产物，它反映作者的思想水平、认识水平以及在社会生活中形成的世界观、人生观、价值观等。近两年的作文教改提倡学生写真实生活、真实自我，有些同学忽视了对文章思想倾向的把握，看问题不全面，观点偏激，更有甚者由腐败现象而怀疑党的领导和党的政策。尽管当今的中国社会政治清明，言论自由，话说错了不会追查什么政治问题，但作为未来社会的建设者，正确的是非观还是应该有的。这一点必须注意。　　

2、标题和段落标题是文章的眼睛，也是阅卷老师对文章的第一印象，特别是自拟题目写作，阅卷老师很看重考生所拟的标题。俗话说：“秧好一半谷，题好一半文”，可见题目的重要性。有些考生先写正文再拟标题，文章写好后也许是没有时间写标题，也许是忘了补写标题。虽然评分规定无标题扣2分，但实际结果却远非2分。有人曾做过这样的实验，将几篇写得较好的作文，按保留标题和隐去标题两种类型请两组老师分别予以阅卷，其分数差别一般都在5分以上。这是因为阅卷老师对无标题作文产生了一种心理距离，不知不觉便降低了分数等级。至于如何拟题，我觉得应做到这样几条：①确切。指符合文章内容，也指遣词造句符合规范)。②精练。指标题字数恰当。③生动。指题目能体现出一种活力，具有可读性，饶有情趣。④新颖。指有新视角、新思路、新感悟，能够给人一种新鲜感。⑤有意蕴。指有内在的含义。拟题方法多种多样，可以运用修辞拟题，可以引用俗语拟题，可以化用古语拟题，可以借用成语拟题，可以套用流行语拟题，也可以巧用其他学科公式或符号拟题等等，考生可以根据自己的情况灵活运用。段落：考试作文最忌首、腹、尾三段式的结构。把文章分为几段更好?千字以内的作文，我觉得分为5-8个自然段就可以了。因为自然段分得越自然，越显得你成熟老练。另外，要把每一段的首句写好。每一段的首句犹如人的眉目，把首句写好，“眉清目秀”，整个段落都显着精神。

3、文体和内容高考作文试题对文体的要求有两类：一类是规定必须写某种文体，如“写一篇议论文”;另一类是排除写某种文体，如“除诗歌外，其他文体不限”。考生必须按规定的文体去写。近几年高考作文题中“文体不限”，让考生自由选择文体，这里要特别注意，文体不限不是不要文体，而是要你在选择了一种文体后，一定要按这种文体特点写作，要写什么象什么。不可随心所欲，写成不伦不类的“四不像”文章。文章内容方面：不假思索就能想到的东西，绝对不要写;稍加思索想到的也不要写;花上几分钟，想别人想不到的内容来写。记叙文最好将主人公设定为自己，用第一人称入文，让“我”的激情在文章中闪光，情真意切，引起共鸣。议论文切忌大话、套话、废话，要避免空发议论，无病呻吟，滥提口号，乱发号召，空表决心等等。作文可以虚构，“允许”编写故事，但不等于提倡“编写故事”，编写故事要做到“大胆想象，自圆其说”。滥编、胡编，绝对不会得高分。
