The Americans are very proud of their country. They say that in the USA the buildings are taller, the cigars are longer, the cars are bigger, and the girls are prettier than anywhere in the world. The English do not always agree. Some say the Americans are louder, richer and noisier than any other nationality. Other British people think there are lots of good things about the USA like Hollywood, jazz and Superman. It is true that most American skyscrapers are taller than buildings in the UK, but the British think their stately homes are older and more beautiful than anything in the USA. The Americans love coke and hamburgers – people in the UK think British food is much healthier. Clothes are cheap in the USA but fashion design in the UK is better than design in the USA.
