Good morning,everyone.My topic(话题)for today is "How Americans Value(重视) Time".
Americans think a lot about time.From childhood(童年)they learn to value time.As children,
parents teach them to be on time to go to school,to do work and to do everything.When they are
having a good time,they say that time flies.When a person is dying(死亡),they say he is living on
(靠……生活)borrowed time.
Time is money.Time is knowledge.Time is everything in America.A working American has to
work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week.This is the working time.In his spare time,he also
works hard for money.Even Saturday and Sunday are filled with(用……装满)other things.In the
street you can hardly see a man who walks slowly.They walk very fast.In fact,they are running.
When you ask Americans why they are in a hurry(匆忙)all the time,they will probably say,
"Time is money."
