Four foreigners, who live in the US talk about the things
people say about Americans...
Americans eat fast food every day. Pei from China
It's true that Americans eat a lot of fast food, but they don't eat fast food
every day. I share an apartment with an American woman, and she cooks
all the time. She only eats fast food on some days-with me!
The sun shines a lot in Southern California. Alberto from Mexico
The weather changes quickly in many places in the US, but not in Southern
California. The sun shines a lot there. It doesn't shinei every day, but be careful
when it shines. It gets very hot! I always ~ r sunglasses when I go outl
Americans like animals. Naomi from Japan
I have a lot of friends here and many of them have a dog, a cat or a
bird. One American family that I know has a dog, a cat. and two birds.
American people love animals!
Americans are always loud. Gianni from Italy
Some Americans are very loud, but I work with an American man at a coffee shop,
and he's really quiet and polite. He doesn't~ very much. But he's a very nice guy!

State Parks, freeways,

1
J
enny Clar k , an Australian mom and college student who lives in California, says the
US isn't just OK-it's paradise.
These are some of her reasons ...
Coffee
Freeways
American cups of coffee are very big! A
small cup of coffee in the US is like a large
cup ofcoffoe in Australia. Ifyou're in a
hurry, you go to a drive-through and buy
coffee from your car. It's so easy!
I prefer the roads in the US. The freeways
are very fast, and in California they have a
lot of car lanes. It's really easy to drive from
one place to another.
State Parks
California has 278 state parks, and they
are beautiful. On the weekends, I bring my
family to a state park in my area. We explore
the forest, find small animals, and
enjoy the tall redwood trees.
Malls
I love shopping, and in the
US, the malls are very big.
People walk around and shop
for hours. US malls have
many different stores, and the
salespeople are friendly
and help you find things.
Fall
I love the fall weather in
the US. A good fall day in
California is cool, but not
too cold. I also love the trees.
They change from green to
yellow, red, and brown.
4 READING & SPEAKING

Theme Parks
Theme parks are very popular in the
US, and we live near the Great America
Theme Park.
My children like
the rides and
water slides.
Sometimes the
Iines for the
rides are long,
but that's OK.
We need rest!
Red Robin
Red Robin is
a restaurant
that has great hamburgers.
I don't eat meat, but I like the french
fries and lemonade at Red Robin. I think
the fried cheese sticks are fantastic, but
sometimes they aren't on the menu. Maybe
that's because they aren't very healthy!
