A:Hi,nice to meet you,handsome B. B:Hi, nice to meet you,too.charming A.
A:Ok,today our exam topic is cultural differences.we are going to talk about the differences between east and west culture.
B:Great,it’s necessery.As we know,it’s great helpful if you know the cultural of the country before you go to another country.
A:I agree with you.In Recent years,more and more college students are going to study abroad.I think it’s a new experience,but it’s also a challenge,for exemple,the culture shock
B:Yeah.the differences between east and west culture are almost everywhere.Such as,when we praise someone,the Chinese will always be modest,but westerner will say: “Thank you” or “I’m glad to hear that”,they will accept the praise delightedly.
A:It’s ture,I also have noticed the difference.In addition,in China,when we meet friend in the street,we always say:“Have you eaten yet?” we think it’s nomal.But if you greet a foreigner with those words,he will think that you want to invite him to a meal.
B:Really?It’s easy to lead to misunderstanding because of the cultural differences. So what should we do when we greet someone in west country?
A:Well,you can say “How are you?” or “Fine day,isn’t it?”,but never say “What are you going to do?” or “Where have you been?”etc.Because they think you have infringed their privacy. B:Ok,I know it. I’m very happy to have a conversation with you and I hope you will have a good score.
A: Thank you for your blessing. You will also get a good score.
