Everybody grows up in a certain cultural environment and adopts certain values and beliefs as well as patterns of behavior from their parents, friends, teachers, mass media, movies and books. That is why those who are growing up in the USA accumulate a particular culture which shapes them into Americans.

We should also keep in mind that American’s population is characterized by ethnic, religious, racial, social, educational, and political diversity. In some ways, those belonging to one group share the values and assumptions of that group. But everybody is a member of several different groups and resembles somehow each of them. Therefore, it is difficult to generalize about Americans.

On the other hand, the modern world has turned into a global village where nations and groups quickly pick up somebody else’s fashions, style, gadgets, cuisine, words, music and other things. Common problems, natural disasters, or acts of terror also make people forget about their differences and unite.

Dating. Summer Job. Business meeting

УРОВЕНЬ

Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст

In the United States dating starts early. In some families thirteen- and fourteen-year-old boys and girls go out on dates. When young teenagers go on dates they often go with a group, and usually the group has a chaperone. But older teenagers usually do not have a chaperone on their dates.

When a third person arranges a date between two strangers, it is a blind date. Some people send information about themselves to a computer dating bureau, which matches them with blind dates.

In the past it was customary for a boy to pay for a date. Sometimes today a girl pays for herself. This is called going dutch. Frequently a boy asks a girl for a date, but more and more often girls are asking boys for dates.

How Much Is the Job Worth?

One of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect that a doctor's salary will be higher than a bus conductor's salary. But the question becomes much more difficult to answer when we compare, for example, a miner with an engineer, or an unskilled man working in an oil field with a teacher in a high school. What the doctor, the engineer and the teacher have in common is that they have spent several years of their lives studying in order to get the necessary training for their professions. We feel that this training and these years, when they were studying instead of earning money, should be rewarded. At the same time we recognize that the work of the miner and the worker in an oil field is both hard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the risks that they take.

Another factor we must take into consideration is how socially useful a man's work is, regardless of the talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more important than selling used cars or improving the taste of toothpaste. Yet it is almost certain that the used-car salesman earns more than the nurse, and the research chemist earns more than the schoolteacher.

Summer Job

The summer job is a tradition among students of American schools and universities. Long before the end of the school year, students begin their search for jobs during vacation (June, July and August). Students send letters to businesses, and talk to employers about job opportunities during the summer.

Reasons for wanting a summer job vary from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.

Paperboy, typist, construction worker, salesclerk, baby-sitter, factory-worker, waiter or waitress — these are some of the more common jobs that students seek during the summer months.
