What's special on independance in USA.
On my first independance day in USA was so quiet . Because I didn't know anybody except fireworks.I was in America for about 1month and I didn't know a lot of people except our neighbour family.They had barbecue outside and the invited me and we drank some beer.I watched fireworks at home because I didn't get any transportation way.
But this year was different from last year because I went downtown to watch fireworks and I went to a party.They most supprising thing is before I came to America I heard a lot the American National Anthum,but since I came to America I did never hear it even on the Independance Day.

It may sound silly, but I am still surprised by how many Americans don't know the national anthem. It is not uncommon for a nationally-born American to sing the anthem in a public forum such as a baseball game and get the words wrong. This is unfortunate and somewhat embarrassing for those of us that know how to sing the sing correctly.
O say, can you see
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
or the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly gleaming?
and the rockets' red glare
the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave!
