Unit 8 Lesson 45
We will learn
The new words:
probably, virtue, modest, praise, adult, private, extra, cultural
Important and difficult points:
1) This is probably because North American manners and Chinese manners are so different.
2) In both China and North America, it is polite to offer an elderly person a seat on the bus.
3) It’s interesting to experience two different cultures.
4) I think understanding cultural differences really helps us to understand each other, live together and work together.
