The United States

The United States is the third largest country in the world with a population of more than 332
million.

American culture encompasses the customs and traditions of the United States. "Culture
encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, its language, marriage, music,
what they believe is right or wrong, how they sit at the table, how they greet visitors, how
they behave with loved ones, and a million other things. this said Cristina De Rossi, an
anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London.

Because of this, the United States is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world,
according to The London School. Nearly every region of the world has influenced American
culture, most notably the English who colonized the country beginning in the early 1600s,
according to the Library of Congress. U.S. culture has also been shaped by the cultures of
Indigenous Americans, Latin Americans, Africans and Asians.

the reasons that made you move to that new place are:

 I have moved here to learn more the English language, but I still haven't been able to
communicate that well.
 I have moved here for economic improvements.
 Teach my customs and learn from them
 Teach Spanish and learning English together. Learning spanish language in another
country is important for them.
Open a restaurant and that they will consume food from Peru. (Eating Peruvian foods
is delicious for us and I think for U.S.A. people too.)
 Meet someone special and go out on a date with him and we get along well.
 One of the main reasons was to get to know the world of Disney, but I have already
known that place and I loved it.

that you do not make the mistakes that I did.

the first thing you should do before coming here, learn as much English as possible, as soon as
you arrive here, find a good apartment after that find a good church. You will get every sort of
friendship, connection and support you will need. While you are in church make friends,
people are very polite, don't forget to make eye contact with them and buy formal clothes it is
rude to wear casual clothes.
A second thing to do is when you feel alone or sad, try to go out to see the tourist places with a
friend or guide and spend time away from your apartment so you can improve your English.

others.
