Question 1

When I think of an American landmark, I think of The Statue of Liberty in New York City. The two facts are first, it was given to the Americans by the French people. My second fact is that it is an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Question 2

The famous actress I have selected is Anna Paquin. My three facts about her are first, she has won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe. Secondly, when she won the Oscar she was the second youngest person in history to do so. And lastly, she is a New Zealander (Kiwi), but she was born in Canada and moved to N.Z. when she was a young child.

Question 3

I will choose Jack Daniels Whiskey. I think it is a famous American company whose product I have purchased and consumed countless times.

Question 4

I have never been to The U.S.A but I would love to visit Las Vegas. Vegas is a world-famous entertainment hub where I would love to partake in all the goings on.

Question 5

I think American food size is much bigger than in Japan. Japanese size does not fill me up completely and I think that American steaks are famous for there large size. I do not know how much they cost but I assume that it would be cheaper per gram than in Japan.

Question 6

I talked about American food in question 5- especially steaks being bigger. With this larger size comes more calories and if those calories are not used, unhealthy people will appear within society. I think it is fair to say that Japanese people are much healthier than American people, and this is probably, in part due to the food type and size consumed.
