book review 12

Today's book is 'American life'.

Most people around the world know something about American life. We can see American movies on TV, listen to American music, and eat in American restaurants.

Of course, Americans are not all the same. The United States of America is a big coutry. There are many different ways of life. New York City is one of the most exiting and famous city in the world, but life there is not the same as life in a small American town. I saw the many faces of American life in this book.

Do you know how many people move to the U.S. every year? The answer is 750,000! Recently, many different kinds of people lived in the U.S. In 1798, more than 60% came from Britain, Ireland, Germany, and France. About 20% came from Africa, but they were slaves. Between 1880 and 1914, most immigrants cane from south and west of Europe. Today, most immigarants are from Latin America and Asia.

America is a big country. Americans loves their cars. There are 200,000,000 cars on the road. Only 5% of Americans catch buses and trains to work. In most states, American can drive when they are sixteen. Life without cars is difficult. Schools, stores, and work are usually a long way from home. When I visited the United States, I saw a lot of Japanese cars. When I saw them, I felt that Japan and America are close. In Montana, on some roads, you can drive as fast as you can. I want to go and drive there someday!

We can watch American movies in Japan. American movie-makers make about 570 movies each year. Not only American people but also people in many other countries love these movies.
Today, the name Hollywood means movies. Before 1910, Hollywood was only a small town near Los Angeles. Movie-makers moved there from New York because they wanted the Californian sun. Their job was easier with good weather.

There are many differences between American life and Japanese life. But I like both of them. I want to visit to America again.
