Hello, Class. We are now starting week 5.
Every country has good points and bad points. There is no perfect country. America has strengths in her many freedoms and opportunities. These opportunities include the chance to study and do research and improve your knowledge. There are opportunities for work and business. There are also opportunities to create and design new inventions. In addition, there are opportunities to improve your social, financial, and material status.
On the other hand, one of America's weaknesses is her citizens' ignorance of other countries. Americans are comfortable with knowing only about national news and celebrities and are complacent about learning about other countries. In high school, the foreign language requirement is only two years. During the evening news, the international news segment is only about ten minutes. To learn about international news, you have to go to a cable news station, such as CNN, or you can search international news on Yahoo. If the ordinary person wanted to learn about other countries, he would have to put out some effort.
If I could change something about America, I would try to improve American citizens' ignorance. I would make the foreign language requirement four years. I would also have an hour of international news every evening. What is something you would like to change about your country?
