my culture shock 2

The next week we will have the discussion about the culture shock.

I think the culture to me can depart into two parts. The one is in the study, the another is in the life.

In the study, influenced by the chinese education for 20 years, we used to listen to the teacher in the classroom and never ask question when we don't know the meaning. Because we think if we ask the question, it will lose our face and look like a fool. Another different from china is that whatever the work we done, the teacher also say it is good, excellent, well done or it is ok. They give us more encourage and more freeness in the study and encourage us to think our idea, not everything to conform to the teachers' direction, not follow and we can think an idea together. And to our surprise is that we can called the teacher as their name. But in china, we also call the teacher such as teacher Li or teacher Wang. It showed the respect to them. But in london, when we cannot understand what the teacher said, we can say "mark, I can't understand it, can you explain it again?" And the teacher is pleased to explain it again till you can understand. 

In the life, I will my experience about relationship, traffic and so on.

In china, people don't kiss or hug somebody of the opposite sex in public places. But in london, I was surprised to see the people kissing in front of me. In another hand, in Asian countries, homosexual is a few exist. Even though they are homosexual, they will always hide it as a secret. So two girls and two boys can walk together hand in hand and no one was shocked. But when I was came in london, the first day I went to the supermarket with Susan, and I was used to hand in somebody, but she told me that in london, I should change my habit. Because in london other people will regard you are homosexuality.

Another thing is that when I went to eat with vera and when we finished, we paid together. But we found someone sit next to us, which pay themselves each other. Then I knew in the western country, they  advocated economic  independent and they always  put in practice the rule of "AA" . 

Then I will write something about traffic. In china the traffic lights will regularly to work. But in london, if some people want to cross the road, they can press the button and then after a moment, the traffic lights will turn red and people can cross the road. I think it is very reasonable, because if in the midnight, the car can go straightway. And one day, I stood away the road, but there is no traffic lights in the crossing, I think I will wait more time when there are no car pass. But it is surprised to me when a car pass, it stopped and  hint that I can go cross the road first. At that time, I think the traffic in london order in london is very good.

After somedays, it seem to be more familiar to the london. So I went to the market by myself and I want to buy a lot of food. So I want to have a go-cart, but I found I can't move it. Then a old man come to me and told me that I should put one pond in it then I can move it. But I have no coin, so he give me one pond and let the go-cart for me. I think I am very lucky to meet a kind man.

There are many things about the culture shock to my experience. I think there will be more culture shock wait for me and I will suit here well in the future. Because after 2 months studying, I become more confident than before with the help of stefanie.
