　　篇3：美國文化

　　i’m glad to show you mine presentation today. and now let’s see some pictures. what are they? maybe you’ll say “ads”. but do you see the slogans on them? just as this one “obey your thirst”.

　　advertisements give latest information about products. but some people think that advertisements don’t give much information but only try to persuade customers to buy. may be what mentioned above is the citizens’ view about advertisement.

　　so, what i want to say is that we can pay more attention on advertising slogans, and some of them give us some inspiration.

　　we might as well take a look.

　　first i want to share my favorite slogan with you. it’s the slogan of the hennessy. “to me, the past is black and white, but the future is always color.” just as the slogan said, i hold the view that a person can’t be always lost in the past, and no matter how happy or terrible the past is, the future is worthy to be expected. this slogan gives a clear picture of the life that every successful person who want to realize the dream.

　　besides, there’s another slogan, “start ahead”. i believe that most of us are familiar with its chinese meaning “成功之路，從頭開始”. iargue that wherever we go and whatever we meet, this sentence is full of power and wisdom.

　　the other one is the slogan of canon. as it said, “impossible made possible.” when

　　we are in case of emergency or we meet difficulties at the critical stage of our life, it’s a good choice for us to use the slogan for encouragement.

　　there’re also many slogans which deserve to be thought about. for example, “intelligence everywhere,” “the relentless pursuit of perfection,” and the most famous one “just do it”.

　　maybe we’ll forget them after the first time we heard them or maybe we could seldom remember them unless in a special situation. in my opinion, since we have so many excellent advertising slogans, we have every reason to make full use of the social resources.

　　in other words, after we enjoy the happiness and know about the introduction of the products, we should take in the wisdom and the truth which behind them. thank you, it’s all my presentation.

　　篇4：Governments of China and America

　　In a word, the government of China and America are both democratic. China’s NPC system is consist of many representatives elected from everywhere in china, while America’s government is also consists of elected people from different states. Though both two are democratic, they are still different in many ways.

　　China has more than four times of population comparing to America. Several NPC members are elected from 1.3 billion people; they must be representative and capable enough. However, many of them are rich people. Though we require democratic, the absolute democratic is actually difficult to achieve. They are not able to care for people of every status. The NPC will be held once in 5 years, and during the 5 years, the power of government is used by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

　　While in America, the power of government is divided into three parts. They are the legislation part, whose name is the Congress, the president, and the judicial part, which is also described as 3 branches, whose name is the Supreme Court. For the power is divided into 3 parts, different parts have counterbalance against each other, the government can be democratic and just enough, though sometimes the division can cause many redundant procedures and make something more complex,

　　which would make the government less efficiency. At least, the resident is the commander of the U.S. army. The president is able to command the army directly when the country is facing emergencies.

　　There cannot be absolute democratic in the world. Sometimes even democratic can also be ridiculous and make awful decisions. We cannot be democratic in everything, but for now democratic is the most effective and fair way. There must be unavoidable troubles in each government, what we need to do is to find it, and then improve it.
