Example
1,
to
offer
your
seats
to
the
aged
people
on
bus
or
in
subway
is
considered
a
virtue
in
China.
Boy
1:
I
would
offer
my
seat
to
the
seniors
on
bus.
And
I
hope
others
would
do
the
same
when
my
gray-haired
parents
need
a
seat
on
bus.
There’s
a
Chinese
saying,
“lao
wulao
yiji
renzhilao”
meaning
respecting
my
aged
parents
and
extending
it
to
others’
aged
parents.PPT
9,Boy
1:
But
in
Japan,
young
people
seldom
offer
their
seats
to
the
aged
on
bus
or
in
subway.Smile:
In
Japan,
if
you
offer
your
seat
to
the
aged
on
bus,
most
often
your
offer
would
be
declined
because
first,
there
are
seats
designated
for
the
aged
and
disabled;
second,
accepting
the
seat
offer
means
that
the
receiver
is
weak
and
needs
help.
In
Japan,
many
old
people
work
at
their
sixties
or
even
seventies
and
they
consider
themselves
strong
enough
to
stand
their
way
to
their
stop.Boy
1:
Oh,
I
see.
Next
time
on
bus,
I
will
notoffer
my
seat
rashly
to
the
aged.PPT

Example
2.
Americans
love
Chinese
food.
Traditional
Chinese
food
likedumplings,
toufu,
and
chashaobao
are
welcomed
in
America.Boy
1:
Some
Chinese
restaurants
in
Americaliterally
cook
Chinese
food.
I
mean
the
so-called
Chinese
food
are
actually
notauthentic
Chinese.QM
girl:
Yeah.
Here
is
a
story
of
authentic
Chinese
food
“scaring”
an
American
who
adores
Chinese
food.
Boy
3:
One
day,
a
guy
from
Los
Angeles,
who
considered
himself
an
expert
in
Chinese
food,
came
to
Shanghai
and
went
to
a
local
restaurant.
He
ordered
beef
and
broccoli,
some
sweet
and
sour
chicken,
and
fortune
cookies,
which
he
thought
were
Chinese
food
but
actually
are
western
food.
The
waiter
looked
at
himwith
total
confusion,
which
made
the
guy
feel
very
embarrassed.QM
girl
&
Smile:
Hahaha.
Beef
and
broccoli,
sweet
and
sour
chicken,
fortune
cookies,
these
are
typical
western
food.
Boy
3:
Later,
the
guy
asked
his
friend
Turner
who
spoke
fluent
Chinese
to
bring
him
to
eat
authentic
Chinese
food.QM
Girl:
And
then?Boy
3:
The
dish
names
on
the
menu
jumped
out
at
him,
like
duck
blood
soup,
pig’s
brain
and
chicken
feet.
He
felt
disgusted.
Turner
asked
him,
“Bro,
what
do
you
want?”
He
replied,
“I’m
vegan
(素食者)”.
Turner
felt
weird,
“When
did
you
become
vegan?”
The
guy
said,
“when
you
started
reading
off
that
damn
menu.”Smile:
Haha.
He
was
scared
by
the
names
of
Chinese
food.PPT
13,
Smile:
In
cross-cultural
communication,
learning
about
the
culture
differences
does
help
us
in
avoiding
embarrassment
when
we
communicate
with
others,
especially
foreigners.Boy
1:
Culture
differences
exist
in
many
aspects,
like
the
vocabulary
differences
between
American
English
and
British
English.Boy
3:
Or
the
greeting
differences
between
English
speakers
and
Chinese;
or
the
time
concept
differences
between
Mexicans
and
Americans,
etc.PPT

Color
WordsQM
Girl:
The
color
red
has
rich
meanings
in
Chinese.Boy
3:
Yeah.
For
example,
traditional
Chinesewedding
dress
is
red,
symbolizing
good
luck
and
happiness.
Boy
1:
At
the
Spring
Festival,
kids
will
get
lucky
money
in
red
package.Smile:
When
there
are
celebrations,
we
wouldsee
lines
of
red
lanterns
hung
in
the
street
creating
a
joyous
atmosphere.
PPT
18,Boy
1:
In
modern
times
of
Chinese
history,
red
stands
for
revolution.
Boy
3:
Yes.
And
our
national
flag
is
red,
too.Smile:
In
the
1950s
to
1960s,
red
(hong)
was
a
popular
name
for
kids
born
at
that
time.
There
were
Wanghong,
Lihong,
Zhanghong,
and
Zhaohong,
etc.,
which
reflects
the
naming
culture
at
that
time.PPT
19,Boy
3:
In
China’s
stock
market,
red
indicates
stocks
up
and
green
down.Boy
1:
In
a
word,
red
mostly
implies
good
and
happy
things
in
Chinese
culture.Smile:
Interestingly,
in
American
stock
market,
red
means
stocks
down
and
green
up,
which
is
totally
the
opposite
to
Chinese
stock
market.
PPT
20,Boy
3:In
western
culture,
red
is
associated
with
blood,
anger,
sacrifice,
crime,
loss
and
war.Boy
3:
In
English,
“catch
somebody
red-handed”
indicates
that
a
person
has
been
discovered
in
or
just
after
the
act
of
doing
something
wrong
or
illegal.
QM
Girl:
And?PPT
21,
Boy
3:
Internationally,
red
is
used
as
an
alert.
For
example,
the
red
traffic
light
stands
for
“stop”.Boy
1:
In
economics,
“in
the
red”
means
the
situation
of
owing
money
to
a
bank
or
making
a
loss
in
a
business
operation.
QM
Girl:
So
the
image
of
red
is
negative
and
disapproving
in
western
culture.PPT
22-27,
Group
Work
on
Animal
WordsQM
girl:
Now,
animal
words.
Traditionally,
the
image
of
“dog”
differs
greatly
between
western
culture
and
Chinese
culture.
Boy
3:
In
western
culture,
dogs
are
considered
as
man’s
best
friend.
Boy
1:
Yeah.
Many
films
tell
stories
about
the
hero
dogs,
like
Hachiko
and
A
Dog’s
Journey.Smile:
And
it’s
a
custom
that
people
do
not
eat
Dogs’
meat
in
western
countries.
QM
girl:
It’s
true.
We
can
find
evidence
invocabulary.
For
example,
we
have
sheep
and
mutton
(sheep’s
meat),
cattle
and
beef
(cattle’s
meat),
pig
and
pork
(pigs’
meat).
But
there
isn’t
a
word
referring
to
the
meat
of
dogs.
Boy
1:
At
least,
it
proves
that
generally
people
do
not
eat
dogs’
meat.
Smile:
And
in
English,
people
use
“dog”
in
positive
sense,
like
“I’m
a
lucky
dog”,
or
“Every
dog
has
his
day”.PPT
24,
Group
WorkBoy
1:
In
western
culture,
generally
the
image
of
dog
is
honest,
faithful
and
hard-working.
QM
girl:
There
are
idioms
like
“as
faithful
as
a
dog”,
“dog-tired”,
“a
good
dog
deserves
a
good
bone”,
etc.Smile:
Dogs
are
good
help
in
daily
life.
They
are
trained
to
be
guide
dogs,
sheep
dogs,
and
watch
dogs,
etc.
Boy
1:
In
Chinese
culture,
the
traditional
image
of
dog
is
negative.
QM
girl:
There
are
idioms
like
“langxin
goufei”
(brutal
and
cold-blooded),
“zougou”
(lackey
or
running
dog),
or
“gouzhang
renshi”
(a
dog
bites
counting
on
its
master’s
backing),
etc.
Smile:
Generally
dog
is
derogative
in
modern
Chinese
standing
for
cold-blooded,
brutal,
snobbish,
and
narrow-visioned,
etc.
Boy
1:
In
ancient
Chinese,
dog
stands
for
hard-working
and
faithfulness,
just
like
in
English.QM
Girl:
There
are
expressions
like
“zhongquan”
(faithful
dog),
“xiao
quanmazhilao”
(serve
the
master
faithfully)Smile:
Yes.
In
ancient
China,
the
officials
knelt
down
and
prostrated
before
the
emperor,
with
the
posture
literally
like
a
dog
meaning
to
serve
the
master
faithfully.

Task
I
of

is
a

show
that
cultural
factors
like
time
concept,
food
tradition
and
so

cause
cross-cultural
misunderstandingsTask
II
of
Critical
Thinking
is
designed
for
students
to
practise
exemplification.To
give
an
example
is
a
challenge
for
students
both
in
speaking
and
writing.A
comparison
is
made
of
the
behaviour
of
offering
your
seat
to
the
aged
in
China
and
in
Japan,
and
totally
different
interpretations
come
up
in
both
countries.In
China,
offering
your
seat
to
the
aged
is
a
virtue;
in
Japan,
you
might
upset
the
aged
if
you
offer
your
seat
to
him
or
her
on
the
bus..Food
tradition
is
another
cultural
factors
that
may
cause
misunderstandingsin
cross-cultural
communication.Traditional
Chinese
foods
like
dumplings,
toufu
and
so
on
are
well-accepted
by
Americans,
but
some
traditional
Chinese
food
like
Duck
Blood
Soup
and
Chicken
Feet
are
out
of
their
comfortable
zone.
The
task
of
Further
Exploration
is
one
of
the
most
challenging
part
of
Period
7.Group
Work
may
help
students
solve
problems
like
finding
examples,
making
comparison
and
making
a
summary.
“Red”
is
the
word
chosen
to
show
different
cultural
messages
between
English
and
Chinese.
Some
cultural
messages
of
“red”
may
have
changed
as
time
moves
on,
like
“red”
as
a
popular
name
of
kids.A
summary
of
the
cultural
messages
of
“red”
in
both
English
and
Chinese
is
made
here.
The
second
example
is
the
animal
word
“dog”
and
its
cultural
messages
in
both
Chinese
and
English.“Dog”,
in
western
culture,
is
a
word
used
in
approving
sense
and
the
image
of
dog
is
usually
positive.But
in
Chinese
Culture,
dog
is
a
word
of
negative
sense
and
is
usually
used
disapprovingly.Example
are
given
here
like
“zougou”
(sb’s
running
dog),
“langxi
goufei”
(brutal,
ungrateful)
and
so
on.Table

is
a
summary
of
the
discussion
above.
Summary

to
the
aged
people
on
bus
or
in
subway
is
considered
a
virtue
in
China.
I
would
offer
my
seat
to
the
seniors
on
bus.
And
I
hope
others
would
do
the
same
when
my
gray-haired
parents
need
a
seat
on
bus.
There’s
a
Chinese
saying,
“lao
wulao
yiji
renzhilao”
meaning
respecting
my
aged
parents
and
extending
it
to
others’
aged
parents.
Pair

But
in
Japan,
young
people
seldom
offer
their
seats
to
the
aged
on
bus
or
in
subway.
Illustrating
an
idea
with
an
example
In
Japan,
if
you
offer
your
seat
to
the
aged
on
bus,
most
often
your
offer
would
be
declined
because
first,
there
are
seats
designated
for
the
aged
and
disabled;
second,
accepting
the
seat
offer
means
that
the
receiver
is
weak
and
needs
help.
In
Japan,
many
old
people
work
at
their
sixties
or
even
seventies
and
they
consider
themselves
strong
enough
to
stand
their
way
to
their
stop.
Oh,
I
see.
Next
time
on
bus,
I
will
not
offer
my
seat
rashly
to
the
aged.

Example
2.
Americans
love
Chinese
food.
Traditional
Chinese
food
like
dumplings,
toufu,
and
chashaobao
are
welcomed
in
America.
Some
Chinese
restaurants
in
America
literally
cook
Chinese
food.
I
mean
the
so-called
Chinese
food
are
actually
not
authentic
Chinese.
Yeah.
Here
is
a
story
of
authentic
Chinese
food
“scaring”
an
American
who
adores
Chinese
food.
One
day,
a
guy
from
Los
Angeles,
who
considered
himself
an
expert
of
Chinese
food,
came
to
Shanghai
and
went
to
a
local
restaurant.
He
ordered
beef
and
broccoli,
some
sweet
and
sour
chicken,
and
fortune
cookies,
which
he
thought
were
Chinese
food
but
actually
are
western
food.
The
waiter
looked
at
him
with
total
confusion,
which
made
the
guy
feel
very
embarrassed.
Group

Illustrating
an
idea
with

example
Hahaha.
Beef
and
broccoli,
sweet
and
sour
chicken,
fortune
cookies,
these
are
typical
western
food.
Later,
the
guy
asked
his
friend
Turner
who
spoke
fluent
Chinese
to
bring
him
to
eat
authentic
Chinese
food.
Illustrating

And
then?
Group
Work
The
dish
names
on
the
menu
jumped
out
at
him,
like
duck
blood
soup,
pig’s
brain
and
chicken
feet.
He
felt
disgusted.
Turner
asked
him,
“Bro,
what
do
you
want?”
He
replied,
“I’m
vegan
(素食者)”.
Turner
felt
weird,
“When
did
you
become
vegan?”
The
guy
said,
“when
you
started
reading
off
that
damn
menu.”
Haha.
He
was
scared
by
the
names
of
Chinese
food.
Illustrating
an
idea
with
an
example
In
cross-cultural
communication,
learning
about
the
culture
differences
does
help
us
in
avoiding
embarrassment
when
we
communicate
with
others,
especially
foreigners.
Culture
differences
exist
in
many
aspects,
like
the
vocabulary
differences

red,
symbolizing

At

In

times
of
Chinese
history,
red

for

Yes.
And
our
national

red,
too.
In
the
1950s
to
1960s,
red

was
a
popular
name
for

In

red

In
a
word,
red
mostly
implies
good

happy
things
in
Chinese
culture.
Interestingly,
in
American
stock

red
means
stocks

totally
the

In
western
culture,
red
is
associated
with
blood,
anger,
sacrifice,
crime,
loss
and
war.
In
English,
“catch
somebody
red-handed”
indicates
that
a
person
has
been
discovered

just
after
the
act

doing

Internationally,
red
is
used
as
an
alert.
For
example,
the
red
traffic
light
stands
for
“stop”.
In
economics,
“in

means
the

money

In

Yeah.
Many

tell
stories
about

dogs,
like

It’s
true.
We
can
find
evidence
in
vocabulary.
For
example,
we
have
sheep
and
mutton
(sheep’s
meat),
cattle
and
beef
(cattle’s
meat),
pig
and
pork
(pigs’
meat).
But
there
isn’t
a
word
referring
to
the
meat
of
a
dog.
At
least,
it
proves
that
generally
people
do
not
eat
dogs’
meat.

in
English,
people
use
“dog”
in
positive
sense,
like
“I’m
a
lucky
dog”,
or
“Every
dog
has
his
day”.
Group
Work
In
western
culture,
generally
the
image
of
dog
is
honest,
faithful

hard-working.
