Today we are going to learn a passage .
Read the first two paragraphs and answer the
questions.
My name is Ke Wen. I have lived in China for twenty years. In China, I call myself Ke Wen which is pronounced like my English name.
Though I can speak Chinese now, I need to learn more about Chinese manners. Chinese manners and Canadian manners are so different. In China, being modest is a virtue. If someone praises
1.Why did Ke Wen change his name to Ke Wen?
2.In China, what should you say if someone praises your English is excellent?
your English, you should be modest and say, "No, no. My English still needs to be improved." But in Canada, you should just say, "Thank you."
Because his Chinese name is difficult for many Chinese people to pronounce.
You should be modest and say, "No, my English still needs to be improved!" instead of just saying "Thank you".
In Canada, people only ask children about their age. It's not polite to ask an adult's age. They think it is rude, but this is common in many places.
Read the third and four paragraphs and answer the questions.
1.Is it polite to ask adults about their age in Canada?
No, it is not polite, especially when asking adults.
When Chinese people eat out in restaurants, they take turns paying for the meal. In Canada, however, people often share the cost of a meal. In China, if your guests have no food on their plates, it's polite to put food on their plates. In Canada, you pass food to guests, but you don't usually put food on their plates.
2.How do people usually pay for meals in restaurants in China and Canada?
In China, people often take turns paying for the meal. In Canada, people usually share the cost (go Dutch).
In China, people seldom give extra money to waiters, waitresses, taxi drivers
or hotel workers. In Canada, this is always done. It is called "tipping".
It's interesting to experience two different cultures I think understanding different cultures really helps us to understand each other. We live together and work together.
Read the fifth and sixth paragraphs and answer the questions.
1.What is "tipping" in Canada?
2.What does Ke Wen think about experiencing two different cultures?
It refers to the common practice of tipping service workers.
He thinks it's interesting and helps people understand each other better.

注意:although / though 和 but 都用来表示转折关系,
但不能在同一个句子中同时使用。
用了 although / though,就不能再用 but;反之亦然。
We use although/though/but to contrast two ideas. We should not use although/though and but together in the same sentence.
Although people have different cultures and customs,
but he has already made many friends there.
Brian hasn't been to China,
they have the same feelings.
He has been at his new school for only a few days,
he still feels lonely.
Though Liu Feng has many friends in America,
but he knows a lot about our country.
What other cultural differences do you know between China and English-speaking countries? Share your ideas with your classmates.
Although China and English-speaking countries appreciate tea, China has a rich and ancient tea culture with different types and tea ceremonies, while English-speaking countries typically regard tea as a daily beverage.
Example:
Table manners
In China: It is polite to leave a little food on your plate to show you are full.
