BR 2-11: Background To The USA

This book is not for reading, but for textbook. Actually, this book is for a class, American Affairs, but this book is written in English so I thought it can be for book review! Don't you think so??

In this book, many American culture and histories are introduced. And there are mainly 5 topics; What is an American?, The Making of the USA, Governing 3 1/2 Million Sq. Miles, Achieving the American Dream, and The American Way of Life. In 'What is an American?' section, we can study about American Character, American Indians, American English and British English, and so on. In the 'The Making of the USA' section, we can know the July 4th, The frontier spirit, and War between bros. In the next section, we can find about government, federation, and police. Then you will learn about studying and American woman. In the last section, we can know American food and newspapers and TV. Sounds kinda difficult but not so much. It can be easy to read and you can enjoy reading. Actually, I didn't finish reading it last year, but this time I could. And I could discover many good and bad points of America. I think people who are going to the US next year have to read it because it's definitely necessary to understand what happened in the country before coming there.

At the end of the book, there are notes, which are written in Japanese. This means we can review some important points in each unit easily. Let's read it. If you wanna read, let me know, I can rent you it!
