英语四级美文:Struggling in America
The United States of America is often seen as a nation in which the pursuit of happiness is not a dream but a reality.The sad truth is that although portrayed as an unusually easy life, life in America is as much of a struggle as in any other nation.For example, higher level education for Americans does not come easy.Although there are scholarships, grants and loans available,if the student fails to meet the criteria he is left with only personal resources to draw from.This takes him into a life with not only a school schedule to follow but perhaps,also, a work schedule and family life.These are often the difficulties that are not portrayed through the TV and movies.These are also the difficulties which many believe they will not encounter by attending an American college.
In the second place, there is financial security.Many times what is portrayed of life in America is a life where “money is no object”.The fallacy in this is that,Each person has their own personal struggle and money is an object for the majority of the people.in spite of the comparatively higher wages available,the cost of living is also higher.Even though it may seem like one is making more money,just as much is spent in surviving.
