STUDIES IN THE AMERICAN CULTURE
On Wednesday in the studies of American Culture we invited 7 American teachers from different cities.
They are:
Alan is from NEW YORK.
Stephani is from ALABAMA.
Trevis is from TEXAS
Rebeca is from COLORADO.
Amy is from MINNESOTA
Bred is from ARIZONA.
The questions that we made to them are:
1- What is the process of inviting someone in America?
2-What are some of the features of America ?
3-What is the attitude of new comers in America?
4- What is the relationship between man and women?
5-How is the accent of Albanian people in studying English?
6- What is your advice for the students here in Albania?
The answers are:
1-The process of inviting someone is usually by email.
2-America has a diverse population and is known for controlling nature.
3- Texas is the second biggest place with different attitudes about mew comers.In Washington there are a lot of immigrants and they think that Albanian people are more generous ,
hospitable and very open to Americans.
4- Men and women relationships start earlier. They get married, make children and have a normal life.
5-The Albanian accent is good. They learn quickly how to speak using accent.
6- For the student of English branch , their advice is: Read , write and learn English.
Have a coffee with American teachers vec e vec and ask questions to them.
My impression is: The Americans are so direct and they help everybody in studying English. Working with American teachers is a great opportunity because they help us have a wide knowledge about American culture in English language.
