Unit 3 Understanding each other●Task Writing a lett er to explain cultural misunderstandingsSkills building 1: completing a textIn this part, you will learn how to complete a text by listening. You are expected to learn what to do before and after listening and how to use the skills in practice.1. Read the guidelines on page 42. Read the instructions out and make sure you understand the four tips about what you should do before you listen.What is the first thing you need to do before listening? Why should we do this?What should we do next?How can we decide what the missing words probably are?What is the fourth thing about?2. What do you think we should do after we have finished a passage? (Proofread it to ensure that it makes sense and check whether there are any mistakes in it, include any spelling mistakes.) Remember that it is very important to review the text and make sure there are no mistakes or missing words.Step 1: showing foreign visitors around1. Go over the instructions to find out what you are going to do in Part A. Read the diary and try to guess what each of the missing words is by using the methods you have learnt in Skills building 1.You can do this in pairs.2. Listening practice: Listen to the recording and fill in the missing words. You may check your guesses at the same time.TapescriptLi Lin: Well, I think that was a great day. We showed the three visitors around Beijing and I think they enjoyed it. What were their names again?Zhu Qing: Well, there was Mr Singh from India, Mr Takashi from Japan and Mr Hudson from the USA.Li Lin: Yes, I thought it was a good day and we managed to visit quite a few places. We did have a few strange incidents though, didn’t?Zhu Qing: Mmm, it was very odd how Mr Singh reacted when you held out your left hand. He wouldn’t shake hands with you!Li Lin: Also, he got a bit upset in the restaurant and refused to try the black pepper beer on the menu. I thought most people liked black pepper beef. Perhaps he would have preferred beef and onions.Zhu Qing: All the visitors I have taken to that restaurant before have really enjoyed it. Mr Takashi and Mr Hudson liked it. Mr Takashi seemed to have a really good time. He asked so many questions in the Forbidden City that I think I know the history very well now! He must have taken about a hundred photos in a day and he kept buying lots of gifts. Some were very expensive. One thing I noticed though w as that he was always giving people his business card. He didn’t look very happy when I just put in my pocket. Also, it was very confusing when he kept making an okay sign. We just didn’t know what he wanted.Li Lin: Mr Hudson thought the Summer Palace was amazing but he got a bit upset before we got on the boat. It was really a pain that he wanted to wait for the next boat as he thought the first one was too crowded. I thought there was plenty of space on it. Well, I suppose we should volunteer to show another set of visitors around next year---- at least we get to improve our English!AnswersA: (1) three (2) strange (3) upset (4) shake hands (5) beef(6) gifts (7) business cards (8) OK (9) crowded (10) space3. Listen to the tape again and try to answer the following questions:Which tourist attractions did the two students show the three foreigners around?(The Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.)Why did the writer feel strange about Mr Singh?( Because he looked upset when the writer held out his left hand to shake hands with him.)Where is Mr Singh from?( He is from India.)Where is Mr Takashi from? ( He’s from Japan.)Do you think the OK sign made by Mr Takashi means ‘very good’ or ‘great’? (No.)Why wouldn’t Mr Hudson get on the boat? (He thought it was too crowded.)1.Read the first p aragraph of Part B and find out what the word ‘taboo’means. You can goback to the diary entry in Part A. Then read the rest of the article and circle the taboos in different cultures. Find out the reason why Mr Takashi did not look very happy when the student just put his business card in his pocket.AnswersB: Paragraph 2…, if you are from India, you may not eat beef because of your religion.Paragraph 3In India, it is impossible to shake hands or give someone something with your left hand. Japanese people may bow and even give out their business cards to greet others and get upset if people do not look at the cards carefully. So remember not to just put them in your pocket without looking.5. Read the guidelines in Part C to know what you will do in this part. Listen to the recording to get more information about cultural habits.TapescriptTeacher: From my e xperience, people from the USA often feel uncomfortable if people are in their ‘personal space’( about fifty centimeters around their body). But I heard that business people from Asia have a different idea about personal space and usually stand closer than some people from the USA might like. Latin Americans are the same, and like to greet their colleagues with a hug. I also noticed that in th e USA, gift-giving is not part of the culture unlike in many other countries. I saw that gift-giving is very important in Japan and on a trip, Japanese people must bring back lots of gifts. There are also signs which mean different things in different countries. In the USA, an ‘OK’ sign is formed by touching the thumb to the index finger. This is a positive sign in the United Stated, but in France, the same sign means ‘zero’ or ‘worthless’ and in Japan, it is a request for small change.Skills building 2: asking questions1. There are many types of questions you can ask. They are as follows:Do you know…?Could you please tell me if/whether…?Please tell me if/whether…Who is…?Please tell me his/her name.When/Where did…?Please tell me when/where…How did…?Do you know how to…?Why did…?Can you tell me the reason why…?2. Read the guidelines on page 44. Make some sentences by using the correct question words. Step 2: asking about cultural differences1. Read the instructions to make sure you know what you are going to do. Work individually to form the eight questions in this part.Answers(1) What do some people from India not eat?(2) Which hand shouldn’t be used to shake hands with or give things to people from India?(3) What do Japanese people have to buy when they travel anywhere?(4) What should you do when a Japanese person gives you a business card?(5) What does the OK sign mean to Japanese people?(6) Why do people from the USA not like crowded places?2. Work in pairs to do the question-and-answer exercise according to what you have read in the magazine article on page 42 and what you have heard in the recording.Answers(1) Some people from India do not eat beef.(2) The left hand shouldn’t be used to shake hands with or give things to people from India.(3) When they travel anywhere, Japanese people have to buy many things.(4) When a Japanese person gives you a business card,you should look at the card carefully.(5) The OK sign means a request for some small change for Japanese people.(6) People from the USA feel uncomfortable if others are in their ‘personal space’, which is about50 centimetres around them.Skills building 3: writing a letter of apologyIn this pa rt, you will read about how to write a letter of apology to explain misunderstandings. 1. There are differences between writing letters in Chinese and writing letters in English. In a formal English letter, you should first write your address and the date. Here is the format of a letter as an example. Sun Ting from Beijing Sunshine Secondary School wants to write a letter to her friend Tan Yi in Sunsh ine Town:Beijing SunshineSecondary SchoolAddress of the senderSunshine TownBeijing 100000 Date 10 June Tan Yi88 Sunny StreetSunshine Town Beijing 100000Dear Tan Yi,( Content of the letter)Yours sincerely,Su n Ting2. If you want to make an apology, what do you usually say? (I apology for …; I want to apology for …)What do we do if we want to write a letter of apology?Should we give some explanations?Step 3: explaining misunderstandingsIn this part, you will use the information about taboos in different cultures in Steps 1 and 2, and use the skills you have learnt in Skills building 3 to write a letter to explain how themisunderstandings arose when you showed the three foreigners around Beijing.1. Read the diary entry and the article in Step 1 again and then discuss in pairs what should be included in the letter. Choose one of the three visitors to write your letter of apology to.2. Choose a recipient and write the letter of apology. Read your letter to the whole class and try to improve it.Name of the recipient Address of the recipient Greeting Message Closing Name of the sender。

苏教牛津译林高中英语模块6_Unit3_话题背景知识：文化差异常识趣谈(全英)

话题背景知识：文化差异常识趣谈（全英）Cultural differenceIn many aspects of our life, we often divide the world into two parts: the eastern one and the western one. The former usually refers to Asia and the latter includes mainly Europe, North Africa and America. We divide like this not only because of the geographical location differences, but also due to the cultural differences to a large extent. In the following parts, you’ll see such differences, from the causes to the customs of the two sides nowadays.Part I What leads to the cultural difference?The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own styles. Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the colonists of England settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European one a lot.At the same time, the difference of the language systems adds to the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language (see the picture below) while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, due to the fardistance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other pictographic charactersPart II How differently do people behave in daily life?The differences are everywhere. They affect people’s ways of thinking and thei r views of the world. Even in everyday life, the cultural differences show up from the moment the eyes are opened to the minute the dreams are invited.In the following, I’ll give some typical example of the differences.Section 1: GreetingGreeting is the first step to form a culture, because people begin to communicate with others. The individuals become a community.How do we Chinese greet each other? Informally, if we meet an friend in the street, we are used to say: “Hi, have you had your meal?” or “Where are you going?”. When it is the case of two gentlemen, they tend to shake hands.However, in the western countries, the above questions are just questions, not greeting at all. They may think you’re inviting them to dinner if you ask about their meals. Usually, they’ll just give each other a smile or greet with a “Hi.”. They’ll shake hands only in some formal situations. By the way, Westerners can leave a party or meeting halls without a formal conge, nor should they shake hands with every attendee like most of us will do here.Section 2: Expressing gratitudeThink of the situations below. Your mother is busy in the kitchen. She suddenly asks you to fetch a bowl for her. You do so. What’ll your mother’s response be? Probably she’ll just continue d oing the cooking. After a while, the dinner is ready. Your mother hands you your bowl of rice. What’s your response? Probably just begin to eat.That’s what I want to say. In Chinese families, we rarely say “Thank you” to other family members for receiving help or service. Neither will we say so between good friends. It’s such an unpopular response that if you say it, the counterpart will think you are treating him as a stranger, otherwise you are lacking of intimacy.But in the West, "thank you" is one of the most frequentlyused sentences. Teachers will thank a student for answering a question; husbands will thank his wife for making a coffee.However, as an interesting phenomenon, it’s a custom to say "thank you" in Japan. No matter in family or among friends, Japanese chronically use it all the day. This is probably the aberrance of the culture.Section 3 DiningThe ways people eat, that is, the table manner, really distinguish a lot. The reason for this is probably because of the different dining tools and menus.Easterners use chopsticks, or sometimes even grasp rice straightly with hands as Indians do. The thin and long chopsticks cannot be used to cut food, so we usually use our teeth to act as knives. We hold our food, meat or vegetable, with the chopsticks, send them to the mouths, bite off a part of it and remain the other part on the chopsticks. That’s the usual way we eat. We are also used to hold up our bowls when having rice or soup. Japanese hold bowls to have miso soup without spoons. But all these habits are considered rude in the Western countries.The etiquette in the West requests that when eating, bowls and plates cannot leave the tables. Food should be cut by knives to fit into the mouths. Of course your mouth cannot touch the plates or bowls. So the regular process is like this. You cut your steak on the plate with fork and knife, send the meat cube into the mouth with fork and nothing will be returned back but the fork alone.Section 4 SymbolizingSymbolization is how people imagine or regard something. It actually reflects the way people think. Here I’ll only discuss some symbolization that frequently appears in daily life.First is about the colors. We often give each color some meanings, because we feel differently when facing different colors. So people always have preference when choosing colors of clothes, decorations, etc. In the APEC summit held in Shanghai several years ago, in the last day, the presidents from all over the world wore the traditional Chinese Dang suits and took a photo together. The colors of the suits were chosen by themselves freely. However, it’s quite interesting to find that mostEasterners chose red while most of the westerners preferred blue. To explain this, it’s easy to realize that what red means is almost opposite in the East and the West. Red means luck, fortune here. We Chinese often use this color to decorate in festivals, such as red lanterns, red Chinese nodes, red bangers. But red stands for blood, revolutions in the West. So the presidents avoided wearing this unlucky color.Another interesting discovery is about the dragons. In the East，dragons are imagined as something like snake and are flowing in the sky for most of the time. The dragon is said to have the face of the horse, the horns of the deer, the ears of the ox, the body of the snake, the claws of the eagle and squama of the fish. We regard dragon as God and say that we Chinese are the offspring of the dragon. The God of Dragons of the four seas can charge the rainfalls, so we sometimes also call them the God of the water or rain. But in the West, people think dragons as dinosaurs, which can stand on the ground with feet and fly with huge wings. They lay eggs just like dinosaurs. The dragons of the West have the ability to erupt fire, instead of water. The fire can destroy everything so the dragons are not welcomed at all. They even become the symbol of the Devil.Part III What can we do to treat the culture gap?Now we have seen that there exists such a huge gap between eastern culture and western one. Then what should we do to face this gap in the gradually globalizing world?Firstly, we cannot deny any of the cultures. Every nation has its own characteristics and it’s mainly through its culture that we first begin to know the nation an d its characteristics. So we cannot say that this culture or custom is right and that is wrong. Equal respect should be attached to every culture in the world, even to those that are not in existence any more.Next, we should get to learn how to coordinate the different cultures. We say the world is becoming smaller and smaller. More foreigners come and go everyday. When it is in the same country, the same city, the same neighborhood, the cultural collision is expected to be more serious. So we should try to avoid this happening. One important thing is to get some basic knowledge about the other cultures so as not tomisunderstand some actions or habits of the foreigners.When the above two is done, we can start to communicate. I mean we can take in some strong points from the foreign cultures. Though there doesn’t exist correctness in terms of culture, it does have the terms of more advanced or more suitable for the world nowadays. Of course, we cannot throw away our own culture and accept another one totally. Every culture is a treasure to the history of the Earth, so we should only pick out those we lack to perfect our own.Different cultures add the most colorful element to the world of 21st century. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.。

In English-speaking countries, there are some formal greetings, such as “How do you do?”“How have you been?” and “How are you?”. There are also some informal ways of greetings. For example, people often greet others that they know well with “Hi”, “Hi, there”, or “What’s up?” While in China, people tend to say, “Have you had your breakfast / lunch / supper?” or “Where are you going?”Q2. There are various reasons for this question. First, there are cultural differences. People in the West countries might feel at a loss when they hear Chinese greet them by asking whether they have eaten or not. Second, people often use different greetings towards different people. How they greet their superiors is different from how they greet their peers.Q3. One custom that is different in the West and in China is to receive gift. Another is to open the gift.4.

Fill in the blanks according to the reading:Today I talked with two other students, from Brunei called Waled and the UK called Peter. It was very interesting talking to them and analyzing some of the many cultural differences between countries.Even the UK and the USA seem to have different traditions. Americans have something called Thanksgiving, a festival which celebrates the first good harvest of the settlers who went from Europe. British people do not celebrate this and the British teachers in Brunei did not understand what all the excitement was about for the American teacher.The differences between wedding in different countries were also discussed. It seems we need to understand culture differences to avoid mistakes in communication, which could be embarrassing. In other words, it is easy to misunderstand things, so we need to know what is appropriate. For example, Westerners coming to the East do not know that we do not open presents in front of the person who gives them to us. Waled told us that in Brunei it is rude to point with your first finger and so they use their thumbs instead.Free talking:More cultural differences between China and other countries.1. Response to thankfulness:a. — Thank you.China: Never mind / No thanks.West. My pleasure / You are welcome. / Not at all.* Never mind is used when someone apologizes to you.2. Privacy:b. How old are you? / Are you married? / How much do you make every month? Where are you going? / Have you had breakfast / lunch / supper?(To the English, these questions are privacy. It is very impolite to ask these questions.)3. Appreciation:c. Your spoken English is quite good.C: No, not really. I must work hard at it.F: Thank you.(Modesty is one of Chinese traditional virtues. But in cross-culture communication, it will leads to a failure. When the appreciation is responded by something like “no, not really”, the foreigner may think th at they make a false judgment.)d. This picture is quite beautiful.C: No. / If you like it, I’ll give it to you.F: Thank you. It’s a gift from my … / I bought it …./ It’s nice of you to say so.4. Gesturese. nodding or shaking one’s headC: Yes or NoSome parts of Greece and Turkey: No or Yes.South-east Asia: A polite way of saying, “I’ve heard you.”f. thumbs upChina and most places: Very good / Every thing is OK.Sardinia of Italy: It’s insulting. The gesture is never used.….Discussion1. What might happen if two people from different cultures meet and greet each other? Discussion1.
