It is usual to have a salad when an American has his meal. American people eat the salad before the main dish. A nice American thing is the salad bar.

American people know how to choose from the menu (菜单). American menus look different,because they use some unusual words. For example, potatoes most often come to “French fries” or “baked potatoes”.

I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad to transfer some money (转账). I ask him, “Dad, why not use online banking?”
“Why would I do that?” He replied.
“Well, then you won’t have to spend an hour here to transfer your money. You can also do your shopping online. Everything will be easier!” I said in excitement. He asked, “If I do that, Iwon’t have to go out of the house?”
“Yes!” I said. I told him how groceries (杂货) can be delivered to our doors now. And we can buy everything we need by just staying at home.
However, he said, “Since I walked into this bank today, I have met four of my friends. I have much free time, so I like to come to the bank and meet different people. Two years ago, when I was in hospital, the store owner from whom I bought fruit came to see me. And when your mom fell down a few days ago, the bank manager saw her and helped her get to the hospital.”
He went on, “why would I want to look at my computer all the time? I like to know the person around me. Does Amazon send bonds (情感纽带) and relationships, too?”
I didn’t know what to say after hearing his words. My dad was right, of course. It's better for us to spend time with real people than computers.
