The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola,
wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and
they do these things every day.
I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people
are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries
(纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made
in Hollywood.
In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our
cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from
other countries in Europe.
American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It's certain that many things from America
are as much a part of people's lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar
to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I've known about Coca Cola for my whole life.
However, it's different with Western fast food. For example, I don't think McDonald's is as
successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the
lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.
On the other hand, maybe McDonald's hamburgers will eventually replace the famous
Spanish tapas. It's true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald's, and it is more
popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it's obvious that
American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.
