united society.The idea comes from heating metals in a container.When they melt,the metals unite and become something new and stronger.The term has been used to describe the United States as a nation created by people who came here from many different countries.‎ A Frenchman who was living in America expressed the idea more than 200 years ago.J.Hector St.John de Crevecoeur published a book called ‎ 8‎ LettersFromanAmericanFarmer in 1782.He wrote that America had people from many different countries.He said that they would become a new people whose work would one day change the world.‎ For many years,Americans generally accepted the idea of describing their country as a melting pot.They welcomed immigrants from many nations.Those foreign people settled down,learned the new language and built their life on this new land.Yet some of those immigrants criticized the “melting pot” idea.They felt they were forced to lose their own culture and language in order to be accepted in America.‎ New groups of immigrants from Asia and Latin America are changing the Unites States today.Some are resisting learning American culture and language.They keep to their own customs,religion and languages.Reporters say the melting pot is no longer changing the nation’s immigrants,but the immigrants are changing America.‎ Some experts who study immigration say they now compare American society not to a melting pot,but to a salad bowl.A salad is made of many different foods.They each keep their own taste without influencing other ingredients while being part of a successful product.In this way,cultural groups keep their customs and languages and are still part of American society.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考范文 The idea of “melting pot”,originating from a Frenchman,describes the United States as a creation of mixed races from around the world.(要点1)It got wide acceptance as well as criticism.(要点2)Some immigrants refused to change and now they ‎ 8‎ are changing America.(要点3)The new term “salad bowl” is replacing “melting pot”,meaning different groups,as part of this country,still keep their own cultures and languages.(要点4)‎ 8‎
