Skimming略读
My name is Wu Zhou. I have lived in Canada for twenty-three years. In Canada, I call myself Joe Wu. Joe is an English name that sounds like Zhou.
Though I have lived here for a long time, I still don’t feel Canadian. This is probably because North American manners and Chinese manners are so different.
It’s interesting to experience two different cultures. I think understanding cultural differences really helps us to understand each other, live together and work together.
Read paragraph 3~8 and find out the differences between Chinese culture and North American culture.
