10. Practicality and Efficiency
Americans have а reputation for being an extremely realistic, practical and efficient people. The love of "practicality" has also caused Americans to view some professions more favorably than others. Management and economics, for example, are much more popular in the United States than philosophy or anthropology, law and medicine more valued than the arts.
11. Materialism/Acquisitiveness
Foreigners generally consider Americans to be very materialistic. Americans would like to think that their material objects are just the natural benefits, which always result from hard work and serious intent — а reward, they think, which all people could enjoy. But by any standard, Americans are materialistic. This means that they value and collect more material objects than most people would ever dream of owning. It also means they give higher priority to obtaining, maintaining and protecting their material objects.
V. Summarize the information you’ve got from the article and speak about every point from it in general.
For example: Point 1 - Personal Control over the Environment. That means that Americans are sure that they must control nature and take care of the environment by themselves.
VI. Read a short text about what the modern ordinary American typically owns.
We all own something. For example nowadays in Russia it is considered to be absolutely necessary to have a cell phone and a computer at home. But several years ago many people couldn’t’ afford it. Let’s see what the modern ordinary American typically owns. On the first place that is one or more color television sets. That is so because television is a great entertainment in the USA.
The second place goes to an electric hair dryer. If the family consists of four persons it means that’s everyone’s got a hair-drier. Thirdly, each family thinks it’s necessary to have а clothes-washer and dryer, а vacuum cleaner and а refrigerator, stove and dishwasher at home.
Mostly Americans prefer to live outside the city and have a nice two or three-storied house with a lovely lawn in front. That is why the forth place goes to а power lawn mower for cutting grass.
Since Americans value newness and innovation, they sell or throw away their possessions frequently and replace them with newer ones. А car may be kept for only two or three years, а house for five or six before trading it in for another one.
VII. Read and translate the text “usa Holidays” usa Holidays
Holiday is a day set apart for religious observance or for the commemoration of some extraordinary event or distinguished person, or for some other public occasion. National holidays are days set aside by official government proclamation to celebrate different occasions.
The U.S. has no national holidays. Legal holidays – days on which banks, schools, or other public institutions and most places of business are closed.
Memorial Day is a legal holiday, observed annually on the last Monday in May in most of the United States, It honors the nation's armed services killed in wartime. The holiday, originally called Decoration Day, is traditionally marked by parades, memorial speeches and ceremonies, and the decoration of graves with flowers and flags. Memorial Day was first observed on May 30, 1868, on the order of General John Alexander Logan for the purpose of decorating the graves of the American Civil War dead. It was observed on May 30 until 1971, when most states changed to a newly established federal schedule of holiday observance.
Independence Day is an annual holiday commemorating the formal adoption by the Continental Congress of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia. Although the signing of the Declaration was not completed until August, the Fourth of July holiday has been accepted as the official anniversary of United States independence and is celebrated in all states and territories of the USA.
The Fourth of July is traditionally celebrated publicly with parades and pageants, patriotic speeches, and organized firing of guns and cannons and displays of fireworks. Family picnics and outings are a feature of private Fourth of July celebrations.
Thanksgiving Day, a legal holiday in the U.S., was first celebrated in early colonial times in New England. The actual origin is probably the harvest festivals that are traditional in many parts of the world. After the first harvest was completed by the Plymouth colonists in 1621, Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving.
In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a day of thanksgiving, and since then each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation, generally designating the fourth Thursday of November as a holiday.
New Year's Day is the first day of the year, January 1 in the Gregorian calendar. In the Middle Ages most European countries used the Julian calendar and observed New Year's Day on March 25, called Annunciation Day and celebrated as the birth to the Son of God. With the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, Roman Catholic countries began to celebrate New Year's Day on January 1.
The custom of visiting friends, relatives and neighbors on New Year’s Day is one of the Old World traditions that has taken on a new form in the United States. A favorite place to see the old year out is New York City’s Time Square.
Christmas is an annual festival, held on December 25, to celebrate the Nativity, or birth of Christ. The Christmas tree, an evergreen trimmed with lights and other decorations, is derived from the so-called paradise tree.
Saint Valentine's Day, a holiday honoring lovers, is celebrated on February 14. There is a custom of sending greeting cards or gifts to express affection. The cards, known as valentines, are often designed with hearts to symbolize love. The holiday probably derives from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalis (February 15). The festival gradually became associated with the feast day (February 14) of two Roman martyrs; both named St. Valentine, who lived in the 3rd century. St. Valentine has traditionally been regarded as the patron saint of lovers.
