1. All the television screens in America have been flat.
I think America has the most high-tech system, so all Americans have used the flat or more modern television screens.

I saw that many times in movies.

I think America has the best transportation system, so it would be easy for moving.

Because they can make a show about politics humorously or make a funny movie about the presidents and comment what they really think about the politics.

7. American also call football is "football", not other name.

Where am i?

I'm now in a place which is quiet and has many students. Some of them are using computer for writing assignment, checking mail or printing out the homework; some are reading book; some ones are finding books or DVDs on the selves; others checking out books from a desk. Students don't make noise here. It's the place that students and maybe professors come before or after classes. Where am i??? :)
