American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The
major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are
the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from
other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.
The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America.
From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west.The frontiersmen looked for a land of
rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom.Actually they looked for a better
life.So individualism(个人主义), selfreliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the
values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of America.
In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They
brought their own culture to America and later on,different cultures were mixed together.Thus
the unique American culture is formed,a common cultural life with commonly shared values.
The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice
their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity
of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world
are now practiced in the United States.
Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American
society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middleaged and elderly
people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong
desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.
The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.

I am an English teacher, with over 15 years' experience of teaching in London. I started
the DailyStep audio email lesson service because I noticed that when I started their English
course, my students' speaking and listening skills were much weaker than their reading and
writing skills. In my view, this is because education in school does not focus enough on
communication skills. DailyStep is designed to remedy this situation by offering more practice
in speaking, listening and vocabulary.
I am crazy about the English language and it is a real pleasure for me to see the
development of my students' language skills.
I majored in (以….为专业)law at university and then worked for three years as a
researcher and journalist for Sky television and BBC magazines. I decided to change to
English teaching because of my love of the English language and my wish to move into more
satisfying work.
Then I qualified (取得资格)as an English teacher in 1992. My first teaching job was at
a language school in Covent Garden, London, where I taught examination classes and
Business English . After two years, I moved to the Nippon Club where I taught General
English and Business English courses for 9 years. I also developed a unique course cal
led
British Society & Culture, covering all areas of British life, such as politics, law, e
ducation & music. At the same time, taught Business, Financial& Law English in the financial
centre of London. My students included staff (工作人员)from banks and law firms.
As well as running the DailyStep website, I also provide in-company English speech
training for companies in London. If you have an important speech coming up and would like
some information about how I can help you, please email me at jane@dailystep.com.
