When shopping in the U.S., customers often encounter a situation where the merchant does not give the change back to the customer, but simply charges some more. This practice is gradually adopted by some merchants in China, because it is not only convenient for customers, but also reduces the trouble of merchants to make change. However, this approach may be a little unaccustomed to us who are used to Xi change Xi rotten. But, on the other hand, it's also a way to save change, so we don't have to go home with heavy change.
In addition, Americans' attitudes toward saving money are different from ours. They are more focused on enjoying life in the moment, like to spend all their money, and will even borrow money to pay for living expenses. On the contrary, we have been indoctrinated at home with the idea of saving money for a rainy day. I was struck by this difference and started to reflect on our consumption concepts. Admittedly, this American consumption Xi sounds dashing, but it also requires a certain amount of risk. Not saving enough for emergencies, such as unemployment, illness, etc., can lead to a difficult life.
1. There are many poor ** wanderers
In the United States, the poor and homeless are relatively common. Most Americans have no savings and can't even come up with $500 in an emergency. This is indeed a big gap compared to the situation in our country. We have the impression that the United States is a developed country with a relatively high economic level, but the social phenomenon in reality shows another side, which makes me think more deeply about the social structure of the United States.
2. A license is required for fishing
The U.S. is a country that pays great attention to rules and laws, and this is reflected in their management of fishing. In most states, fishing requires a legal fishing license to take place. This is different from the situation in our country, where you can fish at will in many places, as long as you don't kill endangered species. This difference also reflects the different levels of emphasis placed on environmental protection and resource management in the two countries.
3. Free parking lot and good environment in the supermarket
In the United States, there is usually a free parking lot in front of a supermarket for customers to use. Compared to the situation in China, it is very convenient and comfortable. In addition, the air quality in the United States is relatively good, with high visibility and clear blue skies often visible. The beauty of this environment is pleasant and relaxing. This also reminds us that we should pay more attention to environmental protection and air quality improvement in China, so as to make our living environment better.
1. Preference for high-calorie foods
Americans generally prefer high-calorie foods such as burgers, fries, and cola. This is one of the reasons for the high obesity rate in the United States. In contrast, we should pay more attention to a healthy diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the damage to the body. Not only does this help keep you healthy, but it also improves quality of life and prevents chronic diseases.
2. The frequency of car transfer is high
Because the U.S. public transportation system is not as developed as it is at home, many Americans have to buy cars to get around on a daily basis. This has also led to the development of the used car market in the United States, and most people will change their cars frequently. Compared with our domestic car purchase, which pays more attention to brand and luxury, Americans' choice of vehicles is more practical and economical, and the ** of second-hand cars is relatively low. This phenomenon has refreshed our understanding of international students driving luxury cars, and their ownership of luxury cars does not necessarily mean the identity of the rich second generation.
3. The aviation industry is developed and the vast starry sky at night
The aviation industry in the United States is very developed, and the airfields are densely distributed, and planes can be seen in and out of the air almost every day. This convenient mode of transportation makes people feel comfortable and convenient. In addition, the night in the United States is also impressive. At night, distant stars twinkle in the dark sky, and the waters of the Haihe and Lake lakes in the United States appear particularly dark. The sight feels mysterious and infinitely distant.
1. The hard work and remuneration of dishwashing
In the United States, many people work as dishwashers, working twelve hours a day, but the pay is not high. The income is only $2,800 a month, and usually only a workplace is provided, and accommodation is left to the discretion. This has led to thinking about the value of labor and the social distribution of labor. For people who want to make money washing dishes in the United States, this kind of work may seem lucrative, but it actually requires a lot of effort and patience.
2. There are many fire alarms and the piercing horns of fire trucks
The frequency of fires in the United States is high, fire trucks are often driving on the road, and the piercing sound of the horn makes people feel that safety and danger exist all the time. Fire trucks are dispatched every day to the rescue. This also reflects the great importance and level of development that the United States attaches to the emergency response and rescue system. This reminds me that we should pay more attention to fire prevention and safety rescue in China, and improve the efficiency and ability of rescue.
Having lived in the U.S. for a while, I have to admit that there are some gaps between us and us. The differences in shopping Xi habits, consumption concepts, social status and details of life have made me re-examine my values and lifestyle. In the process of getting along with the Americans, I also deeply felt their civilization and friendliness, as well as the happiness brought by the beautiful living environment. But at the same time, I also saw some of the problems that Americans face, such as social injustice, economic pressures, etc. This makes me think that there is still a lot to learn from our country in terms Xi of the relationship between people and people, and between people and the environment. Through this experience, I have not only increased my knowledge, but also become more aware of my responsibility as an editor, and need to convey more valuable information to readers, inspire them to think and start dialogues, and jointly promote the progress and development of society.
