By and large, studying in America is useful and efficient.

We have lots of opportunities to practice English. First at all, when you are hungry, you will go to restaurants. There are a variety of menus and foods. Above all, most of them are in English. If you don’t understand these words, you won’t be able to order anything. Second, you practice taking transportation. For example, when you take a bus day after day, you can find many traffic sign which are in English, and you can try to guess what means. It’s useful to improve your English. Finally, in the shopping mall, whatever you want they introduce them by English. If you want to buy something, you will need to understand what is introduced. It’s a good way to practice our English. For the purpose of improving our English, we can’t miss any opportunities to practice English.

Second, in America we can get correct English unlike in other countries. First, English is America’s mother language, so most people speak fluently. In addition, English teachers are more professional. They not only have good grammar but also understand the history of America. We must make the most of their teaching to improve our English. Second, books are an efficient tool to study English. There are many textbooks teaching you how to study English. Since English is their native language, it must be very detailed. For, therefore literary and non-literary books which involve vocabulary and grammar skills are useful for our reading. Studying reading books helps to improve our English. Finally, even though the America is the second largest country in the world, English is still the same state to state. If we travel from West to East, we can still get correct English. Generally speaking, after learning correct English, you will make great progress.

Finally, you can find lots of culture an America. First, most people would like to immigrate to the United States. This is why the United States needs international common language. Global English takes the roles of communicating with each other. That is to say that even if there are many cultures in the United Stated, they still communicate by using English. Second, the history of the America is bumpy. After independence on July, 4th, the United States departed from a colony. Now we still can find some special vocabulary and place names which have pronunciation based on other countries. We do not only learn correct English but also the history of the United States. Finally, there are some special holidays, such as Halloween, Christmas and memorial days. We can see lots of activities and carnivals on holidays. Some holidays are only for the United States, and most people will have fun. Maybe we know these holidays, but we may not understand their origins. Hence, you can learn lots of things in American.

Why should we study in America? There are several reasons that we can get a lot of chance to practice our English and we can study correct English. Another one is that the culture of the United States can help us study English easily. Therefore, in my opinion, if you want to study English, the United States is the best choice.
