A few weeks ago, our classmate Wu Ruijie gave us a lesson. The lesson was interesting and lively. During the lesson, she talked about her experiences in America. Here is one story. One day, she talked to a Chinese friend on her mobile phone on the New York subway. A foreign woman stood beside her. She used a Chinese word quite a lot. Its pronunciation was like a rude English word. So the woman angrily glared at (盯着) her.
Ms Tang also shared an experience. It happened when she was in Australia. It was a sunny day. She walked on the street with an umbrella. She wanted to protect herself from the sunlight. A man behind her asked, “Is it raining?” In Australia, people don't use umbrellas on sunny days. So the man thought it was awkward.
We can see cultural differences between countries from the two stories. How should we deal with the differences? Here are some suggestions. First, respect everyone everywhere. Second, learn local culture before going. Third, explain if we make mistakes. Finally, always be kind.
In a word, cultural differences are not a big problem. Just treat others kindly. Pay attention to learning other countries' cultures.
