英国位于北纬50度至60度之间，其地理位置决定了它 的天气有多变的特征。英国人在日常生活中非常关心天气 的变化，以至英国人见面后最主要的话题就是天气。
文化包括三个方面：
第一，文化是一种生活方式，表现为一个社会的饮食 和衣 着习惯及该社会的行为规范。 第二，文化是主要通过共同语言流传下来并为人民共同拥 有的历史回忆和风俗习惯。
第三，文化还表现为一个社会所真实创造的东西，如文学、
音乐、建筑、科学、学术成就以及应用工艺美术等。
西方人类学家Douglas Brown认为： 文化是生活方式，是人们赖以生存、思维、感知和相 互交往的背景，是把一个特定的人类社团“粘合”在一起 的“粘合剂”。 这个定义反映了西方人类学家的一般看法：文化包括

中西文化差异 与英语学习
• 文化的定义 • 语言与文化的关系 • 造成中西文化差异的因素
• 中西文化差异的表现方式
• 中西文化差异与汉英语用
• 在英语学习中应采取的策略
文化的定义
“culture”一词来源于拉丁文“cutura” 意为“耕作、教育、培养、发展”
诺思洛普· 弗莱 (Northrop Frye, 1912年-1991年) 加拿大文学批评家，二十世纪屈指可数的大师级思想家和 理论家给文化下的定义是：
在英语中，yellow有“淫秽的、卑鄙的、胆小的”之 意。 如: a yellow dog(卑鄙小人) a yellow journalism(黄色新闻)
红色 red 中国文化里，红色大多是喜庆(happiness)的象征。 如：结婚时的双喜字是红色的，新娘穿红色的嫁衣，送 晚辈压岁钱要用“红包”(red envelope)。红还与美丽
(pretty)同义，“红颜”指美丽的女子。
在西方文化里，red则多解释为“血腥、危险、暴力、
亏损”(blood, danger, violence, lose)之意。
如: red ruin (火灾) red face (翻脸、生气)。
白色 white 白色在中国传统中是“丧”(lose)之意。 如：家里如果有亲人去世了，家人为其“披麻戴孝”， 头戴白绢花。西方社会亲人去世出席葬礼则穿黑色 (black)。
每个人都有过好日子的一天。 Love me, love my dog. 爱屋及乌。
龙在中国人的心中象征着吉祥、尊贵、威严和力量。 如：“望子成龙”、“生龙活虎”、“龙腾虎跃”
在西方文化中dragon是一种狰狞的怪兽，是恶魔的化身，
是邪恶的代表。《圣经》中撒旦被称为dragon。
如：凶暴的女人称为dragon。 She is a real dragon, you ‘d better keep away from her. 她是凶狠的母夜叉，最好离她远点。
风俗习惯是一个民族或文化中流传已久且为大多数人 遵守的社会准则。 中国人讲究家族观念 , 在吃饭等场合讲究座次的分配，
在家里对长辈或年龄大于自己的人不直呼其名。
西方人不讲究亲族关系，也没有丰富的称谓语。西方
人讲究人与人之间的平等，在不太使用称谓语的同时，西
方人往往直呼其名。
东西方文化在语言表达上的差异不只是体现在人与 人之间的关系上,在人与动物的关系中也有体现。 在汉语中,“狗”虽然也有“忠诚”之意,但大多数情 况下,狗是种受厌恶被鄙视的动物。
语言、信念、思维模式、处事态度、价值观、风俗习惯、
宗教信仰等。
语言与文化的关系
• 语言和文化具有不可分割性。
•
语言是一种行为，在不同的社会及不同
的历史时期有不同的语言规范和语言个 性。
美国语言学家娜达在《语言与文化的关系》 中用三种隐喻说明语言和文化的关系。 从哲学角度看:
语言(肉体)+文化(血)→有生命的组织
如：“狗仗人势” “走狗” “狼心狗肺”
“狗眼看人低” “狗嘴里吐不出象牙。”
在西方社会中,“狗”常被认为代表友谊“friendship”
和忠诚“loyalty ”,也因此可以用“狗”比喻人,而且不一 定含有贬义。
如：He is a lucky dog. 他真幸运!
Every dog has its day.
英语作文中西文化差异
英语作文中西文化差异1. In Western culture, individualism is highly valued. People are encouraged to express their own opinions and make decisions based on their own preferences. This can be seen in the way Westerners prioritize personal freedom and independence. In contrast, in Chinese culture, collectivism is emphasized. People are expected to prioritize the needs and interests of the group over their own individual desires. This can be seen in the importance placed on maintaining harmony and avoiding conflict in Chinese society.2. Another difference between Western and Chineseculture is the concept of time. In Western culture, time is seen as a valuable resource that should be used efficiently. Punctuality is highly valued, and being late is often considered disrespectful. On the other hand, in Chinese culture, time is seen as more flexible and fluid. It is common for people to be more relaxed about punctuality andto prioritize relationships and social interactions overstrict adherence to schedules.3. The way emotions are expressed also differs between Western and Chinese culture. In Western culture, it is common for people to openly express their emotions, both positive and negative. It is seen as healthy and authentic to share one's feelings with others. In contrast, in Chinese culture, there is a greater emphasis on maintaining harmony and saving face. It is considered more appropriate to suppress or control one's emotions, especially negative ones, in order to avoid causing discomfort or embarrassment to oneself or others.4. The concept of personal space is another area where Western and Chinese culture differ. In Western culture, personal space is highly valued and people tend to maintain a certain distance from others, especially strangers. Invading someone's personal space is seen as intrusive and disrespectful. In Chinese culture, personal space is not as strongly emphasized. People are often comfortable standing closer to each other and physical contact, such as touching someone's arm during a conversation, is more common andaccepted.5. Finally, the role of religion and spirituality differs between Western and Chinese culture. In Western culture, there is a greater emphasis on individual spirituality and personal beliefs. People have the freedom to choose their own religious or spiritual path and often express their beliefs openly. In Chinese culture, religion is often more intertwined with traditional customs and practices. There is a greater emphasis on ancestral worship and following established rituals and traditions.。
国外对中西英语学习差异的研究
国外对中西英语学习差异的研究
近年来，国外很多学者对中西英语学习的差异进行了研究。
以下是其中的一些主要研究成果：
1. 语音学习差异：一些研究表明，中文母语者在学习英语时比西班牙语母语者更容易受到汉语语音系统的影响。
这种影响可能导致中文母语者在英语发音中遇到一些困难，比如轻重音、语调和单复数发音等。
2. 语法学习差异：一些研究表明，汉语母语者在学习英语时可能更容易受到语法差异的影响。
这种影响主要表现在汉语母语者的英语语法使用上，比如动词时态和单复数形式的使用。
3. 词汇学习差异：一些研究表明，中文母语者的英语词汇学习可能会受到汉字的影响。
这种影响可能导致中文母语者在学习英语词汇时出现拼写和发音错误。
4. 文化学习差异：中西方文化差异也是影响英语学习的因素之一。
中文母语者在学习英语时需要适应不同的文化背景和价值观，比如人际交往方式、礼节习惯和文化差异的理解。
总的来说，中西英语学习差异是一个复杂的问题，需要综合考虑多种因素。
对于学习者来说，了解自己所处的文化背景和语言系统对英语学习的影响是很重要的。
在英语学习中了解中西文化差异
在英语学习中了解中西文化差异中西文化在许多方面都存在着差异，日常生活中的一些对话就能让我们深刻体会到了解文化差异的重要性。
了解中西文化的差异，对学生学好英语很有必要。
一、中西文化差异的具体表现（一）问候方面熟悉的人在见面时都有打招呼的习惯，这是世界各族人民共有的行为。
只是问候的内容和方式不同而已。
在中国看到熟人外出，我们通常会说：出去啊？去哪里啊？看到他们刚回家又会说：回来了，去哪里了啊。
然而英语的打招呼不能这么说。
如果我们对外国人说：Where are you going？他会误认为我们在打听他的隐私，可能他会毫不客气地说：It’s none of your business. 从而造成一些不必要的误会。
在英语国家，特别是英国，人们常常以谈论天气来打招呼。
比如：It’s a fine day， isn’t it？由此可以看出两个民族历史和文化及风俗习惯的不同在语言表达方面所形成的差异性：在中国，人们比较喜欢关心彼此的起居生活和工作状况，这种表达方式会被认为是对彼此的关心和友好；而西方人则把这部分状况作为自己的隐私，不喜欢与他人谈论。
（二）称赞和谦恭方面称赞或谦恭是人与人之间交际的一座桥梁。
而受到不同文化的影响，称赞的方式、对象、达到的效果等方面又表现出很大的差异。
在中国，谦虚是传统的美德，人们往往会用否定自己来当作谦虚的表现，当人们受到称赞的时候往往会倾向于拒绝来表示自己的谦恭。
而英语国家则不是这样的。
在英语国家人们更注重称赞的作用，喜欢听别人说恭维的话，也很喜欢称赞别人。
在那里你可以称赞任何人：朋友、父母、上司，甚至是完全的陌生人。
如在外国的街上你看见一个女孩长得很漂亮，你可以对她说：You are very beautiful. 她听到肯定会很高兴。
但是在中国你可能得到的是一个白眼。
这就是两种文化对于称赞表现的差异。
（三）致谢和道歉方面致谢是人们日常交往中不可缺少的语言行为，是世界各国人们都拥有的礼仪规范，是对别人为自己提供的帮助的承认，是人与人之间的交往更加和谐的文明举止。

中美文化差异,英语作文
中美文化差异,英语作文篇一：中西文化差异比较(英文)The difference between chinese and western cultureWith the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world have found it increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of misunderstanding due to miscommunication in their contacts with another. In the oast most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geoographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. It might be said that technological advances have been most effective in creating the borderless word, the global community. As our world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remot cultures increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. It is no longer hard to find situations in which membes of ince isolared groups of people. Now these people may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each other. So all the people are faced with the challenge of understand this world. So when the east meet west, there are many problems. Some problems are listed as follows.First of all, the way of eating. All huaman beings have certain basic needs. Our fundamental needs for things that keep us alive.This is the physioligical need. All individuals must eat in order to survive. But what people eat, when they eat, and the manners in which they eat are all patterned by culture. No society views everything in its environment that is edible and might provide nurishment as food. Americans eat oysters but not snail. The French eat snails but not locusts. The Jews eat fish but not pork. The Hindus eat pork but not beef. The Russiand eat beef but not snake. We all have ideas about what kinds of food are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of food are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the food that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. Dislike is not the only reason why some culture will not eat a certain food. In some clture, certain foods are taboo. Sometimes the food taboos may be so strong thrat just the thought of eating forbidden foods can cause an indivdual to feel ill. We can also find culture difference in way of bring up children treating the early, greeting each other, saying and spending money before other people do in everyday, but in some English-speaking countries, people do not agree with us. We chinese may enjoy something that is not usually consider as edible by the English-speaking people. Generally we perfer to have thing hot and much emphasis on the taste. We eat from one plate when we are eating with others, and we like to seat one by one, and in the shapeof a round. On the opposite, some English-speaking contries, most of the people like to seat in two rows, two people face to face. They have their own plate. On the aspect of table manners, there are many differences between chinese and English-speaking people. For example, in some Englishi-speaking countries, Bread plates are to the left of the main plate, beverage glasses are to the right. Salad fork, knife and soup spoon are further from themain plate than the main course knife, fork and spoon. When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Use the knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it. They should not start eating before your host does or instructs to do so. At larger meals, it is considered okay to start eating once others have been served. When finished, place the knife and fork together at five o’clock with the fork on the left. It is considered rude to answer the telephone at the table. If need to take an urgent call, excuse self and go outside. Try to eat all the food you are served. But in China, the table manners are different. Chinese traditionally eat rice from a small bowl held in the left hand. The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks. Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon. If rice is served on a plate, as is more common in the West, it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon. Thethumb must always be above the edge of the bowl. The host should always make sure the guests drinks are sufficiently full. One should not pour for ones self, but should offer to pour for a neighbor. When your drink is being poured, you should say "thank youand tap fingers on the table to show appreciation. When people wish to clink drinks together in the form of a cheer, it is important to observe that younger members should clink the edge of their drink below the edge of an elder to show respect.Secondly, the way of communication. Form birth to death, communication plays an integral part in our life. There are some language problems, including the different styles of using language such as direct, indirect; expansive, succinct; argumentative, conciliatory; instrumental, harmonnizing; and so on. These different styles can lead to wrong interpretations of intent and evaluation of insincerity, aggreeiveness, deviousness, or arrogance, among other. The misinterpretation nonverbal signs and symbols such as gestures, postures, and other body movements. It is a definite communication barrier. But it is possible to learn the meanings of these observable message,usually in informal rather ways. It is more difficult to understand the less obvious unspoken codes of the other cultures. Language, as the carrier of culture, is created during the process of human beings’productive labor and serves as the toolof communication to convey the message between people. However, it has been endowed with magic and power in particular language acts. As the old saying goes, troubles come out of the tongue. Superstitious people think that the language itself can bring about fortune or misfortune so that taboos to restrict the use of language are created. Anyone who violates them will get punishment, whereasthose who faithfully obey the restrictions of language taboo will get protection. Furthermore, linguistic taboos change with the development of society .The paper firstly analyzes the evolution of linguistic taboo. It is indicated in the paper that linguistic taboo exists in almost every aspect of people’s life and is a universal social phenomenon in China and Britain. Both Chinese andEnglish cultures are in agreement about linguistic taboos such as pronunciation taboo, and vocabulary taboo. However, influenced by different cultural backgrounds, ideologies and the concepts of value, Chinese and English linguistic taboos also have differences, as is discussed in the paper from the aspects of taboo subjects, taboo numbers and names. At last, this paper puts forward two effective ways of avoiding taboo, that is, using euphemism and having a good knowledge of the taboo culture. And this discussion would help English learners improve their ability of cross-culturalcommunication and achieve better communicational effects. For example, During the feudal times, people were not equal to the rulers and were suppressed by their superiors. The distinction between the upper and the lower classes was also reflected in the evaluation of the language used by them respectively. The words of upper class used were considered good and elegant while those used by the lower class were regarded as vulgar and indecent and should be avoided in the speech of ladies and gentlemen. In modern society, as a result of the development of science and technology, many natural phenomena are no longer mysterious. Human beings not only constantly improve their abilities to exploit the world where they are living through their great wisdom and knowledge, but also make efforts to explore the extraterrestrial world. Science has much more say in today’s society. Thereby, the superstitious elements in linguistic taboos decrease while those reflecting spiritual civilization increase.In short, by comparison, we can find that both Chinese and English communication reflect people’s psychology for good will, for safety and fortune and pleasantness. The Chinese and English people restrict their words and deeds through taboos, trying to keep a harmonious relationship between human and nature, or between people and society. They are a reflection of people’s pursuit offreedom and equality.The most important, the different way of family structure, family values and family education. Family structure is the big difference between east and west, traditional chinese, amony many other Asians, repect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them. Children repay their parents` sacrifices by being successful and supporting them in old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. In contrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as a tremendous burden in the English-speaking countries, where aging and family support are not honored highly. In some English-speaking countries are still extrmely family-oriented. They are dedicated to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get an edcuation. In turn, the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who go away and leave the country for the economic reasons typically send large parts of their salary home to their parents and the rest of the family. Or in some Asia, any decisions or actions are done from family consideration, not individual desires. Peope`s behavior is judged on whether itbrings shame or pride to the family. The children are trained to rely on their families, to honor elderly people, and to fear foreigners. And many of them think that their actions in this life will influencetheir status in the next life.The way of family edcation is also the different. We all know the family education is the elementary education for children. Many serious problems have appeared in our education system in recent years. Almost everyone has realized the importance of solving these problems and many people have presented a lot of valuable suggestions. There are many types of family education in the world and each of them shows distinctive features and is closely responsive to its culture. And American family education is the most famous one among them. There are great differences in the concepts of education, methods of education and results of education between East family education and West family education. In some English-speaking countries, parents’aims are to train their children to have the ability of adapting to environmental variety and the ability of living independently. Based on this concept, most American parents emphasize more to train their children’s ability of independence once they are born. They generally believe that children’s growth must rely on their own experiences, because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood. And the capacity comes from the training in the early age. The so-called training contains many aspects, such aswork, temper will, patience, the spirit of hard work, etc. However, the most fundamental training is the ability of adapting to hard conditions. Through the process of work, children will form the labor sense, learn some work skills and form a habit of labor. Besides, children can learn how to overcome difficulties, temper their willpower, develop their talents and skills, rich their knowledge, and form a habit of hard work and thrifty by working in hard conditions. It is just in the unconsciously process that children will obtain the independent survivability and take the responsibilities for the society. Compared with some English-speaking countries, Chinese parents have a very different concept of children’s education. Some parents in China only care about whether the children have a promising future, a good job, a good life or not. Based on these expectations, the majority of parents feel that their responsibility for their children is to create as good conditions as possible they can so that the children will not worry about anything in the future. Chinese parents would like to provide everything what they can for their children in the process of children’s growth. In short, they would like to sacrifice anything if their children can live better with their help. Therefore, in the process of children’s growth, the most important thing the parents concerning is to developing their children’s intellect, except forcaring children’s daily life. In order to make their children have a good performance in study, become outstanding, or even become a famous person in the future, they would not let children do anything except studying. As for the children’s independence, civic awareness and their ability adapting to thesociety in the future, they consider little or not at all. From these aspects we can find the obvious differences of family education between America and China.When we faced with those difference between West and East, we should give some advice to solve these problems. According to the three big difference that pointed, we should find some way to deal with these problems.We can study other languages and learn to expect in nonvwebal forms and other cultural aspects. We can train ourselves to meet intercultural encounters with more attention to situation details. We can use an investigative approach rather than stereotypes and preconceptions. We can gradually expose ourselves to differences so that they become less threatening. We can even learn to lower our tension level when needed to advoid triggering defensive reactions. The overall goal should be to achieve intercultural communication competence.So the ideal solution to reduce the problems are to shareknowledge with others in communication. This is why it is easiest to communicate with other members of the same group. This is why people so often gather together socially with others who are very much like them. Since intercultural communication is communication with members of different cultual groups, and therefore, because we do not share knowledge, assumptions, values, and forms of discourse with them, we must expect there to be problems of interpretation. We must look for these problems, anticipate where they will arise out of our differences, and then plan our aommunications to be as effective as possible. However, we have to remember that, most of the time, the different ways that are the customs of dfferent cultures are neither right nor wrong. It is simply that different people do the same tings in different manners, even though we can not understand ,we should show the respect. I believe this is the best way to make our life become more comfortable and make the world more harmonious.篇二：中美文化对比(大学英语作文)Chinese Education Is SuperiorThe born of a baby is considered as a blessing to a family, while the family education will in turn leave a brand on the baby’s future.I was born in a Chinese family with western education system. I’mwell respected. I’m growing up without any fence. But reflecting on my personal upbringing, I can tell you with certainty that Chinese Education is superior.Firstly, in a regulated Chinese family, the rules for family are the core of its education system, which could ensure children staying away from some bad habits. The rules Chua set up contributed to her children’s promising victory over long turn. But in my family, there is no such notion. At my formative year, I could stay up late enough to embrace the suise. Consequently, I always suffered from drowsiness at class. Worse still, my poor eyesight due to it has become a handicap to me. Therefore, Chinese strict rules are necessary, especially for a young child.Secondly, grade, nowadays, is an important scale to value a student’s ability. Chua never allowed here children to get any grade less than an A. The pressure from the parent pushed her children to absorbedly focus on their study so that they could meet withher expectation. Gradually, her children would enjoy the privilege of mastering all the subjects. By way of contrast, when I failed in my exam, my parents feigned nonchalance about the result of the exam. No blame. No punishment. I still could read my comic book like a carefree girl. Taking their infinite tolerance for granted, I didn’t even feel sorry for my poor grades next time.Thirdly, it is common for me to complain about everything. Why there is so much homework? Why I should take the exams? Why my efforts refuse to pay off? It seemed that I couldn’t bear the whole world. But Chua said No complain, which means her children must be decisive and independent enough to push their way through all the difficulties. Traditional Chinese education tells us you fight or you die. That is the essence of life.All in all, Chinese education is superior, because it equips children with armor before the war, which has been proved to be the best way to protect them from self-defeating in the battlefield.Words count：381篇三：中美文化差异英语作文Differences Between Chinese Culture and American CultureI have been living in China for twenty years. I was born in JiangSu province, and also grew up in there. My family members were from different parts of China. My mom’s hometown is at the Huabei plain which is the north side of The Yellow River. However, my father grew up in Nanjing, the famous city which locates beside the Yangzi River.Most of people in southern China are used to have rice as their daily main food resource, but northern China mostly has wheat. But no matter which part of China, meat is not the major food for us.Chinese people always believe that rice, wheat, vegetable, fruit are the best for our health. In contrast, meat would give more troubles to our health, for example, heart attack, high blood pressure, and etc.But people in America, mostly have meat as their food resource. The most important is that they mostly have beef, chicken, shrimp, turkey, instead of pork and lamb. In restaurants, you can easily find hamburger, steak, ribs with a little rice and a piece of bread. I believe that the food style gives American people much more energy than we have. They are much stronger than us. That is the fact!I have heard of an interesting story about Yao Ming, who is one of the famous NBA player right now. During his first season in NBA, millions of people are attracted by his height and his cute smile. However, he is not strong enough to play NBA game yet! He ever told the reporter that he likes to have soup that his mom makes for him. Soup could not help him, only steak, cheese, butter could make him stronger and gives him more energy. In order to increase his competition, he has to be used to American food style!“Custom is the great guide of human life”, wrote Scottish philosopher David Hume. Knowing the customs of a country is, in effect, a guide to understanding the soul of that country and itspeople. As a foreign language leaner, we should know the culture in our target language’s country. Only in this way, we can really learn the language well.People express their culture through traditions in food, clothing, recreation, and ceremonies; through the education system and institutions of learning, including museums and libraries; and through the arts, encompassing the visual, literary, and performing arts. As a result, we will talk about the differences from some aspects.First, I will mention the addressing. In China, we will put the family names before our given names, and then in order to express our politeness, we would like to add “sir”or “lady”or their title after the name. On contrast, in America, people would like to put their family names after their given names and first names and they will put Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms, Dr. orProf. before their names. It is foremost and first for us to know these differences so that we won’t make misunderstandings.And then we will talk about time conceptions. In America, their living beat is quite fast, so they consider time is quite precious. So, when they accept an invitation, they would try their best not to be late, but they also don’t go early to the inviters’, as this is considered to be impolite, and it seems to disturb the inviters’preparation. In China, we should also not be late for the inviters. However, in order to show our thanks and politeness, we would go to the inviters’house to help them prepare the meals and then we will have a happy time together.To open a conversation, people in different countries have different ways. In China, when people meet their friends by chance, they will say.”Where are you going?”or “have you eaten?”and then they will go on talking about other things. But if you do this in America, you will be misunderstood that you want to invite him or her. Americans would like to say,”beautiful day, isn’t it?”to open a conversation even sometimes it is raining. It is not because the Americans can predict the weather but for the sake of customs.Let me come to the aspect of eating. Chopsticks are used for all meals in China. Food is placed at the center of the table and may include more than one type of main dish to be eaten with rice. All the food will be shared by all the persons and won’t be divided into several helps. While in America, they would use forks and knives for their meals. Every person has his own dishes and they won’t share one dish together. They think this is quite hygienic and they will enjoy their meals comfortably. However, what they eat is not so healthy, because they would like to eat a lot of meat and something with high calorie. Maybe it is good for them to obtain more fibersand keep a healthy body.Finally, I would like to mention something about the difference in marriage. Besides the ceremony for marriage has obvious difference----Americans will hold it in a church, while Chinese will hold it in a hotel inviting their relatives and friends to have dinner----their marriage notion has quite a lot of differences, too.From all these aspects, we can think of many differences in values, such as the notion of social statues, collectivism and socialism, the treatments to children and so on. In fact, we cannot say which one is right, which one is wrong, as we all know Americans and Chinese are not in the same group, people on the opposite side of the globe can never achieve the thousandth part of the group on the other side of the globe. What we should do is to learn the difference, and then we can really learn the difference well.。

Culture is the shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that characterize a group or society.

中西文化差异英语作文 1i think color can effect ppl s mood .the reasons i m saying so are as follow:first ，the blue is always a nice color which can calm people .i think everyone who has seen a ocean must eXperienced that quiet and calm feeling while seeing the blue sky and the surface of the sea .A survey held by the US Trust shows that the color blue does have the power to calm people and also suggested people who have a high blood pressure or tend to lose temper to decorate their home with the color blue .Second，some schools in North European countries already begun to reduce the using of red pen to grade their students ，because the scientists found that the color red can tense the children up and effect their mood .Third and the funniest one is that some fast food restaurants such as KFC and Mcdonalds use bright and strong color to make people eat faster and leave sooner inorder to have enough seats and room for more costomers in the busy hours ，because the bright and strong color have this effect on peoples mood..in short ，i strongly recommend people to pay attetion on the colors used around them and to be aware of the effect they made ， and i also believe with the further scientific reseaches about colors ，we will use colors more accurate and effective 。
