The AI chatbot ChatGPT has become a hot topic and it attracts many people. However, when it comes to education, some students hold different opinions:

In France, people usually kiss when they meet each other. It’s their way of greeting. But it is different in China. Chinese people often shake hands when they meet for the first time. In China, it is impolite to use chopsticks to hit an empty bowl. Chinese people think that only beggars (乞丐) keep hitting their bowls when they ask for food from others.

In America, it’s OK to be a little late for a party, but you’re not supposed to be late in Switzerland because being on time is very important to the people in the country. In China, people are encouraged to offer their seats to the old. But in the west, if you do that, the old people will get angry. They will think that you are hurting their feelings.

Dear classmates, I’m very happy to share our research with you. Here is some information about it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of about 2000 years. People celebrate it on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year. During that day, we often enjoy the beauty of flowers in the daytime. And when the night falls, a family usually stay together and admire the beautiful full moon. Children like to play with lanterns together. Moon cakes are the special food for this festival.
To let more people around the world know about this traditional festival, our group decides to do something. First, we will tell stories about the Mid-Autumn Festival to our foreign friends. What’s more, we plan to make a short video in English and post it online to introduce it to more people.

Dear classmates, I’m very happy to share our research with you. Here is some information about it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of about 2000 years. People celebrate it on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year. During that day, we often enjoy the beauty of flowers in the daytime. And when the night falls, a family usually stay together and admire the beautiful full moon. Children like to play with lanterns together. Moon cakes are the special food for this festival.
To let more people around the world know about this traditional festival, our group decides to do something. First, we will tell stories about the Mid-Autumn Festival to our foreign friends. What’s more, we plan to make a short video in English and post it online to introduce it to more people.
That’s all. Thank you!
