As someone suggested in another topic, let's have a different topic for each language. As u've guessed, this is the one in English! I think we could begin by talking bout how we c our british & american friends, how we think they behave, what we like/ what we don't like about them and so on... Who's already been to England or the US? What did u think? Did u lik eit? Did u like THEM??

America it is more that a word, it is an expression, a symbol, another a myth.
We say: " it is America " to say: " it is a dream! ". And nevertheless, the United States exist. America has the reputation to be free. She thinks of being the centre of the world, the absolute model, the example to be followed. She thinks of it so hardly as on many points and in many domains she finished by the future. First economic power. First political force. First sports nation. A world capital: New York. A currency: " The world currency ". We said everything on America. It would be modern, simple, rough, artless, smiling, competitive, primitive, puritanical, technological, imperialist, conformist, capitalist, voluntary, religious... Everything is true. But the list is incomplete. To be an exhaustive nation it would be necessary to add to it good hundred of qualifiers. America is not a dream. But it is more than a reality. It is the attempt of construction of a dream. America, it is the realization of successive conquests: the Independence, the West, the Cinema, the Space. It is an earth which seems unlimited, and that these people had the boldness and the naivety to occupy. America does not miss either people, or events, or ideas. It is a country of stars and ambitions. America, it is the intense developpement of the communication: the intervention of the telephone, a TV and two radios per capita. It is the earth of the contrasts (a commonness important to call back). Relief: deserts, plains, lakes and high mountains. Climate: the extreme temperatures of the planet. Way of life: It differs as much between Lousiane and Michigan as between Denmark and Greece. The population: the most diverse ("all" the "races", "all" the nationalities, "all" the religions). The social life: big one wealth and a big poverty. But, in spite of this variety, the United States knock by their strong homogeneity. A warm and dynamic spirit floats on the American space. " While Europe conceptualizes the reality, America realizes the concept and realizes the ideas ". It knocks by her capacity to produce acts and facts, to make some reality. Permanently and in most of the domains, the United States prepare the next ten years. They invent the future. It is an immense, requiring and beautiful space, where we acquire the envy to act and to begin.
