浅谈礼仪在商务谈判中的作用
浅谈礼仪在商务谈判中的作用IntroductionEtiquette is the process and means to show respect to each other in interpersonal relationship by certain, common procedures. The Etiquette can be said to be a person’s external appearance of inward cultivation and quality. Firstly, it can help people raise their self-cultivation. Secondly, it will promote social interaction and improve people’s interpersonal relationship. It also can purify the society. Since different countries have differentpolitical, conomical historical and cultural backgrounds, as well as different ways of developing, there are a lot of differences in etiquettes in many fields and many aspects, especially something related to culttural background. The good understanding of different etiquettes between the Eastern and the Western countries are becoming absolutely necessary and popular.Negotoaotion plays a virtual part in business activities. Negotiation between the seller and the buyer normally covers aspects inculding quality, quantity, packing, price, shipping, insurance, payment, complatints, and arbitration. To reach an agreement or to sign a contract, appropriate negotiation tactics and etiquettes shall be adopted.In modern society, it seems that the world is getting smaller and smaller, people are very active with frequent exchanges. Many countries are paying great attention to the combination of international etiquettes and national etiquettes. So we should enrich our cross- culture awareness and hold a changing attitude toward all kind of equettes. Etiquettes are the culture wealth of human being.This paper explores the different etiquettes in different countries in the international business negotiation settings, so as to make it possible for future successful negotiations.I Different Concepts Reflected from Negotiation Etiquettes in the East and the West.The cultural varieties make the world splendid. In order to dobusiness actively and successfully. It is necessary for the businessmen to have the knowledgement and the required skills in interculture communication and enhance basic skills in using different cultures in negotions.Seen the Negotiation Etiquettes from IntroductionDifferent people show different appriciation of etiquettes in negotiations because of the differences of races, regions and characteristic features. Generally speaking, the western people are positive and agressive in negotiations, the Eastern people show the conservative and passive characteristic features. These differences rooted in the induvidual culture concepts. The most distingushed representive of the Western countries is America, The most distingushed representive of the Eastern countries is Japan. Let see the different culture concepts reflected in negotiationsFirst, American concepts seen from negotiations. Amercians are outgoing and good at expressing themselves, and most Amercian speak often hold suspection to negotion who say something indriectly and implicitly. Their negotiation styles are as followConfident and positiveDirect and strategic forestall one's opponent by a show of strengthClear attitude towards agreement and disagreement .Various ways of negotiationsCherish time and pay special attention to deadlineEsp. ProfitableStrong sense of laws and contactsKeen on package deal.Strong race superiority, hard to make concessionAn American businessman wanted to sell a new product to a Japanese businessman, they agree to meet.At their first meeting, the American businessman wasted no time. He introduced his product and after his introduction, he waited for questions in what he had said. To his surprise, the Japanese businessman showed no interest in what had said, Instead, the Japanese businessman asked about the weather and holidays in their two countries. The American businessman felt frustrated and even annoyed. He concluded that the Japanese was ‘impolite’, and did not know how to do business. Furthermore, he decided, the Japanese didn’t like him, which explained everything.Anaiyze the situation and decide what went wrong? In fact, the Amercian businessman was ignorant of Japanese culture. He did not understand that before a business relationship can be established with the Japnese, he must first develop a good personal relationship with him. He should take the time to cultivate a closer relationship with the Japanese businessman, and then, taking about this company’product.Introductions are important aspects of our daily life. however, few people know how to make them properly. In business, there are two rules to be observed. First, the person of lesser importance, regardless of gender, is introduced to the person of greater importance. Second, the name of the more important person is mentioned before the name of the less important person.Seen the Negotiation Etiquettes from Eye ContactEye is an important aspect of body language. The Chinese saying: the eye is the window of the soul”. A lyric goes : “ your lips tell me no, but there’ yes, yes in your eyes ”. Eyes can speak in interpersonal communication .All cultures have their unique social rules governing their eye contact and these differences can make people feel uncomfortable without being aware of why they are uncomfortable .Eye contact shows trustworthiness, and integrity(= honest）. One does’ t anythi ng to hide. When greeting and conversing with others ,direct eye contact is highly valued by people of these countries. People expect the person they are interacting with to “ look them in the eye” . Not doing so implies boredom or disinteresting . Avoidi ng the partner’s eye could discourage him from going on . The eye, however, is not steady, it is maintained for a second or two, move away quickly, staring at someone’s eye while talking is not polite.•In Northern American and Northern European cultures•. persons are very uncomfortable with prolonged eye contact.•What are the rules for eye contact according to the Chinese custom•If you are speaking in public， do you look at your audience frequently, or you bury your nose in your manuscript ion to read your speech all the time There is no written rules for eye contact in China, but it’s observed that Chinese people usu. lower our eyes as a sign of deference, but these differences can lead to miscommunication in the multicultural workplace.•The eyes can be very revealing during negotiation. The pupils of the eyes contract or dilate in response to emotions.Well-trained negotiators will watch the pupils for signs that you are willing to make concessions.•Because people of the Middle East know they may give away how they feel with nonverbal eye messages, they may wear dark glasses to hide such messages.II Respect Different Cultures and Making Good Use of EtiquettesIn international trade, visitors should act in accordance with local businss is a comman saying“Do as Romans do”,in chinaare show this you get to a place, you should obey the principle of local people but to have your own course to have you own characteristics shoule include to know the sensitive topic of local people,to respect the customs of local people and culture. In the following passage we will discuss matters needing affection by using in the international as example.2.1Know About Different Negotiation Taboo and StyleTaboo is a ban or an inhibition resulting from social custom or emotional aversion and that is a kind of culture.An object, a word, or an act protected by such a prohibition.Amercian Taboo:•“13” and “ Friday”“ black cat”•Dislike 蝙蝠“ bat” , hate any product and packaging with bat luck.•Pay special attention to privacy•Avoid largesse and make-up, perfume and clothes to woman.•Keep appropriate distance .For example, a British mangagerwent to an Arab country for a business meeting with his Arab counterpart. Discussions went smoothly and both sides felt pleased.During a break, both stood talking casually. The Arab manager, thinking they now knew each other quite well, felt they should stand closer together to show the closeness of their bilateral relationship. So he moved nearer to the British manager. The British manager was surprised by this move, but thought the action was unintention on the Arba manager’s part. He stepped back a bit to keep the distance between them.The Arab manager, in his turn, was surprise by his British counterpart’s stepping back. He took it as a sign that the British manager was ignorant of his good intentions and again decided to move forward to show his good intentions and decided to move forward to show his sincerity. This further move, on the part of the Arab manager, made the British manager feel uncomfortable and even unhappy. Both felt frustrated by the situation, and neither of them understood why the other person felt the need to alter the distance between them.In the arena of international business communication, the more you know of the culture of the country you are dealing with,the less likely you are get into difficult.Features of international negotiationNot only share similar features with national negotiations but also have specific features•Political and diplomatic•International•Risky•Complicated•Wide- rangedKnowledge and Skills Requirements•Proper attitude towards negotiation•Good preparation•Awareness of cross-culture•Getting familiar with policy and international rules and laws.•Good command of foreign languages.American features in negotiation•Character: easy- going , out-going (in general )•Negotiation style:Confident and positiveDirect and strategicforestall one's opponent by a show of strengthClear attitude towards agreement and disagreement .Various ways of negotiationsCherish time and pay special attention to deadlineEsp. ProfitableStrong sense of laws and contactsKeen on package deal.Strong race superiority, hard to make concessionVary from place to place (3 major areas)Three major area1. East of America, esp. people from the cities around the centerof Network in the northeast .Features: master all kinds of economic dynamics in the world at any time, strong activity, do business according to international custom and i nternational conventions, they are quick-minded and skilled at bargaining and profitable,at the same time they have a good command of business trade knowledge and skills.2. Mid-east of USA.Feature:People are kind, communicative, easy-going , they honor the contract and keeping one's word.Do business and purchasing from Sep. to Nov. each year.3. South AmericanFeature: treating others with sincerity, nice but hot-tempered, pay special attention to letter/ writing and credit .The final stage of business negotiations involves concession making and building toward agreement. Negotiation requires compromise. Usually, both sides give up something to get even more. However, the approaches used to get the compromise differ on the two sides. Americans and other western business executives tend to take a sequential approach to solving complex problems. That is, “let’s discuss and settle quantity, then price, then delivery, then after-sale service”and so on. Alternatively, the Asian approach is more holistic-looking at all issues simultaneously and not agreeing on any single issue until the end. Americans often are very upset by such differences in style of concession making. American managers report great difficulty in measuring progress. “After all, in America you are half done when half the issues are settled.”In Japan, nothing seems to get settled. Frequently, impatient Americans make unnecessary concessions right before agreements are announced by the Japanese. In the American view, a business negotiation is a problem –solving activity and the solution is a deal that suits both parties. From the standpoint of the Japanese, a business negotiation is a time to develop a business relationship with the goal of long-team mutual benefit. For the Japanese the economic issues are the context, not the content, of the talks. Settling any one issue is not really so important. Such details will take care of themselves once a viable, harmonious business relationship is established. Establishing the relation, signs the fist “agreement,” then the other “details”are settled quickly.In conclusion, American mangers will spend more time putting deals together with Japanese clients or partners than with other Americans. If the negotiation processes are handled adroitly, the Americannegotiations can look forward to long, mutually beneficial business relationships with Japanese partners.2.2Avoid Offending Taboo in Different CultureHandshaking is always be accompanied by a direct look into the eyes of the person you are shaking with, and sweet/ sincere smile as well as appropriate verbal communication.The way of handshaking in different cultures is different in intensity and duration. A firm handshake plus direct eye contact is the standard form of greeting in English-speaking countries .People in American are taught to do so with a firm, solid grip from an early age.They usually step forward to shake hands, then loosen their grips quickly, and back to a certain distance from each other.The Chinese often hold hands at first, then come closer to each other, sometimes with hands still unloosened , even for a long time, esp. when two old friends meet after a long time.People of the English- speaking countries always feel embarrassed and uncomfortable at what they think as “ over intimate”, while Chinese may take the English way of handshaking as unfriendly and cold, or not sincere enough.Remember that women will offer their hand in both business and social settings in many countries.The Germans prefer a firm handshake, which is seen as a symbol of strength and character.The German culture uses the handshake more frequently than almost any other culture. This form of touch is the acceptable and expected form of touch in every situation, whether meetinga stranger or greeting one’s family. Not following this customis viewed negatively.The French generally have a much softer handshake. They may feel uncomfortable with the grip of a German, and the German may wonder about the limp handshake of the French. In the middle east,a limp handshake is more common than a firm handshake. MiddleEasterners may put the free hand on the forearm of the person with whom they are shaking hands. As a result , the distance tothe other person diminished.The Japanese, used to bowing, may shake hands with foreign business partner but keep their arm firmly extended to keep a greater distance. In addition, they may slightly bow and thereby combine the Japanese and Western greeting ritual.Above all we know:United Stated: firmAsia : gentle (shaking hands is unfamiliar and uncomfortable for some; the exception is the Korean, who usu. has a firm handshake;in Japan, handshake with arm firmly extended, accompanied by bow ) British: softFrench: light and quick ( not offer to superiors); repeated on arrival and departureGerman: firm; repeated on arrival and departure; traditionally accompanied by a slight bowLatin American ：moderate grasp; repeated frequentlyMiddle Eastern : gentle; repeated frequently, and free hands placed on forearm of the other personFor example, at an international airport in an Arab country, a Chinese engineer had had his luggage checked and had been impressed by the friendly attitude of the Arab custom officer. He wanted to express his appreciation and, as he knew no Arabic thought he’d shake hands with the officer.Unfortunately, both the engineer’s hands were full. He was holding a small traveler’s bag in his left hand and a larger piece of luggage in his right hand. So the engineer quickly put the traveler’s bag into his right hand and extended his left hand for the handshake with the officer.Then, something unexpected happened. The officer’s smiling face turned pale and the smile disappeared. Instead of giving the expected handshake, he slapped the engineer’s extended hand and walked away angrily.We will think why was the Arab officer angry? He extended his left hand ( instead of his right hand ) to the Arab officer for the handshake. In Arba culture, the left hand is dirty, and using it for a handshakeis regarded as an insult.III Flexible Use of EtiquettesCustom is the principle of communication between people a kind of language and a kind tool. Because the roots of custom ,culture are different from each other . People around the world different region obey different custom. China is one of the four ancient civilized country .Chinese race is the only race inheriting civilization of thousands of years. The Chinese customs have established a system of its own after gradual changes. The eastern society is inheritor of several ancient civilization , which once always chime in with eastern china . But the east and west have completely different customs and culture. As the step of our nation is reforming and opening upis accelerating , intercultural communication is becoming more and more frequent and the contact of customs and culture between east and west are increasing . It is necessary for us to know more about eastern and western customs of communication .In terms of the customs of dress ,western men usually wear reserved western suit and white shirt with tie inside in formal social occasion . They like black so they usually wear black shoes .western women must be in dress in formal occasion. Today the Chinese dress are westernizing .Traditional Chinese dress for example QiPao , Zhong Shan Zhuang are fading from the stage of history .Men and women dress the same as the west in formal occasion.In terms of food and drink , western fast food and western style meal has a large proportion in Chinese food and drink market more and more people begin to try and accept these imported food . Mainland almost becomes an cultural fashion as an symbol of American culturein the field of food and drink . At the same time , French cultural of the noble .English culture of gentlemen also pour in to China with the communication of western and eastern culture many advanced western ways and methods of food and drink are brought in ,which inject new energy to the old traditional Chinese culture of food and drink . Of course , the long history and splendid culture of food and dink nation also has more and more effect on those of foreign country . There area large number of Chinese restaurant appeared in everywhere in theworld. Chinese cuisine is gradually beconing more and more popular and favorable .ConclusionFrom the discussion above, we can see there are thre mai differences between Eastern etiquettes and the Western etiquette. In modern society, it seems that the world is getting smaller and smaller, ineter people are very active with frequent exchanges. Human decency plays the basic role of social ethics. The international etiquettes combine ritual characteristics of various countries and people and can be understood by the people of different countries and nations. International etiquettes can be shared by more and more people of different countries, because etiquettes itself is a cultural phenomenon. Therefore, people are not only paying great attention to international etiquettes , but also different etiquettes in different countries and nations the final purpose is to do successful business with the help of etiquette.BibiliographyBeijin: International Business Research, 2001.Fang Yanmei.

理想是成为一名历史老师英语范文
理想是成为一名历史老师英语范文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Dream is to Become a History TeacherEver since I was a young child, I've been fascinated by stories of the past. I would sit for hours, completely enraptured as my grandparents regaled me with tales of their youth growing up during World War II. The way their eyes would light up as they vividly described ration lines, air raid sirens, and the sheer jubilation of V-E Day captivated me in a way that no storybook ever could. History wasn't just dry names and dates to memorize - it was a living, breathing thing full of real human experiences and profound lessons to learn.As I grew older, my passion for history only intensified. I devoured every book on ancient civilizations, medieval monarchs, and modern revolutions that I could get my hands on. While my friends zoned out during boring lectures on the Renaissance, I was frantically scribbling notes, desperate to soak in every detail. To me, history class was like being transported through a time machine to eras long past. I loved piecing together the vestigesof evidence like a forensic detective, trying to construct a picture of what life was truly like for the people who came before us.What ultimately made me decide to pursue a career as a history teacher, however, was the realization of how powerful an understanding of the past can be in shaping the present and future. The famous words of George Santayana echoed in my mind: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." My heart broke as I learned about the incomprehensible horrors of the Holocaust and how the winds of hatred, discrimination, and antisemitism were allowed to sweep across Europe unchecked. I felt immense sorrow over the brutal legacy of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism that has left deep scars across America. And I was shaken by the catastrophic human toll of conflicts like the Crusades, Mongol Conquests, and the World Wars that ravaged entire generations.At the same time, studying history filled me with hope and inspiration. I marveled at the courage of leaders like Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, and Martin Luther King Jr. who fought tirelessly against injustice. I was awed by the groundbreaking accomplishments of pioneers like the Wright Brothers, Marie Curie, and Alan Turing who expanded the frontiers of human knowledge and innovation. And I washumbled by the resilience of the human spirit embodied by people who endured unimaginable hardship like Holocaust survivors, Civil War soldiers, and locals who rebuilt their lives after natural disasters.To me, the role of a history teacher is so much more than just lec篇2My Aspiration to Become a History TeacherAs far back as I can remember, I've been fascinated by stories of the past – the triumphs and tragedies, the legendary figures and ordinary people who shaped the course of history. When I was a child, my parents would read to me from picture books filled with vivid illustrations and tales of ancient civilizations, great explorers, and pivotal moments that changed the world forever. Those nights spent being whisked away to other eras sparked an insatiable curiosity about history that has only grown stronger over time.In school, history was always my favorite subject. While some of my classmates would groan when it was time for a lesson on the French Revolution or the American Civil War, I was enthralled. I loved piecing together the puzzle of how eventsunfolded, understanding the motivations and contexts that drove historical figures to action. To me, the past wasn't just a collection of names and dates to memorize, but a rich tapestry woven with stories of human resilience, innovation, and the never-ending quest to understand our place in this world.As I've progressed through my educational journey, my passion for history has evolved from a casual interest to a profound calling. I've come to realize that the role of a history teacher goes far beyond merely reciting facts and figures from a textbook. It is a sacred responsibility to kindle the same sense of wonder and intellectual curiosity in young minds that was first ignited in me as a child.A truly great history teacher has the power to bring the past to life, to transport students across oceans and centuries with the vivid storytelling and attention to detail of a master novelist. They can take a pivotal moment like the storming of the Bastille or the signing of the Magna Carta and weave it into a rich, multifaceted narrative that explores not just the chronology of events, but the social, political, and cultural undercurrents that gave rise to such watershed moments.Moreover, a skilled history teacher can impart invaluable lessons that transcend any single era or civilization. By studyingthe triumphs and failures of those who came before us, we can gain a deeper understanding of the human experience – our capacity for greatness and our propensity for folly. We can learn from the mistakes of the past to build a better, more just, and more enlightened future.This is perhaps the most noble and vital aspect of being a history teacher: instilling in young people a sense of perspective, empathy, and critical thinking skills that will serve them well no matter what path they choose in life. By grappling with the complexities of historical events and the myriad perspectives involved, students develop the ability to see issues from multiple angles, to question long-held assumptions, and to think for themselves.In an increasingly polarized world, where social media algorithms and echo chambers threaten to lock us into narrow ideological silos, the lessons of history have never been more essential. A deep understanding of how civilizations have risen and fallen, how ideologies have taken root and been upended, can inoculate young minds against the dangers of dogmatism and intellectual stagnation.To be an effective history teacher is to be a storyteller, a guide, a critical thinker, and a lifelong learner all rolled into one.It requires a passion for continuous learning and a willingness to constantly reevaluate one's understanding of the past as new evidence and interpretations come to light. It demands a commitment to objectivity, to presenting multiple sides of every story, and to empowering students to draw their own conclusions.This is the calling that stirs my soul – to stand at the front of a classroom and share the incredible, complex, and endlessly fascinating stories of our collective human journey. To kindle that same sense of wonder and intellectual curiosity in a new generation of young minds that was first ignited in me all those years ago. To equip them not just with a mastery of historical facts, but with the critical thinking skills, empathy, and nuanced perspective to navigate the challenges of our modern world.Some may argue that in an era of rapidly advancing technology and an ever-increasing focus on STEM fields, the study of history is becoming increasingly irrelevant. I could not disagree more vehemently. It is precisely because we live in such a time of rapid change and unprecedented challenges that a deep understanding of our past is more crucial than ever before.After all, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.For me, pursuing a career as a history teacher is about more than just imparting knowledge or securing a stable profession. It is a higher calling, a sacred duty to keep the stories of our shared human experience alive and to pass on the lessons of the past to future generations. It is a chance to play a small but vital role in shaping the minds of young people, helping them to become critical thinkers, empathetic global citizens, and well-rounded individuals prepared to tackle the complexities of the 21st century.I know that the path ahead will not be an easy one. Teaching, like any truly worthwhile endeavor, will demand countless hours of preparation, a lifelong commitment to learning, and the resilience to overcome inevitable challenges and setbacks. But when I envision myself standing before a classroom of eager young minds, their eyes alight with curiosity as I regale them with the tales of ancient heroes and long-forgotten civilizations, I know that it will all be worth it.For in those moments, I will not simply be imparting facts and dates, but carrying on a tradition as old as humanity itself –the sharing of stories that reveal fundamental truths about who we are, where we've come from, and what we're capable of achieving. And in doing so, I will be helping to shape the mindsof the leaders, innovators, and visionaries who will one day write the next chapter in the great, unfolding story of human existence.篇3My Dream of Becoming a History TeacherAs long as I can remember, I've been captivated by the stories of the past. Growing up, I devoured books on ancient civilizations, pivotal wars, and groundbreaking scientific discoveries. History wasn't just a collection of dry facts and dates to me—it was a grand tapestry woven with the threads of human struggle, triumph, and everything in between.I think that's why I've always gravitated towards history class. While my friends would groan about having to memorize names, places, and events, I found myself eagerly drinking in every detail.I was that overeager student with my hand perpetually raised, ready to share an anecdote or obscure fact I had picked up in my spare time.To me, history is endlessly fascinating because it's the story of us—of humanity's collective journey across eons and continents. It's an exploration of how civilizations have risen and fallen, how cultures have clashed and intermingled, and how theworld we live in today was shaped by the actions and decisions of countless individuals who came before us.More than that, though, history is a discipline that teaches invaluable critical thinking and analytical skills. It trains us to look at events from multiple perspectives, to question established narratives, and to draw connections between seemingly disparate occurrences. These are abilities that extend far beyond the classroom, equipping students to navigate the complexities and nuances of the modern world.That's why, for as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of becoming a history teacher. I want to be the one who sparks that sense of wonder and curiosity about the past in young minds. I want to be the guide who helps students understand not just what happened, but why it happened and how it shaped the world we live in today.As a history teacher, I envision my classroom as a vibrant, interactive space where the past truly comes alive. Instead of dryly reciting names and dates from a textbook, I would strive to make history tangible and engaging. We'd re-enact famous battles and debates, using props and costumes to transport students to distant eras. We'd analyze primary。
世界和平 祖国繁荣昌盛的题材英语作文
世界和平祖国繁荣昌盛的题材英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Peace on Earth and Prosperity for Our HomelandAs a student, I often dream of a world free from conflict, where all nations can coexist harmoniously. A world at peace would allow every country to focus its resources on uplifting its citizens rather than engaging in senseless wars and hostilities. Prosperity would follow naturally in the wake of peace, with open trade, shared innovation, and collaborative efforts to tackle global challenges like poverty, disease, and climate change.Sadly, the reality we live in today is far from this utopian ideal. Geopolitical tensions, armed conflicts, and lingering animosities from past wars cast long shadows over the possibility of achieving true and lasting peace. The constant sabre-rattling of nations jockeying for power and influence breeds an environment of mistrust and perpetual arms races. Valuable resources that could be spent on education, healthcare, and infrastructure get diverted to beef up military might in an unending cycle of escalating hostilities.At times, it feels like an intractable catch-22 - we want peace, but we keep preparing for war. This paradox has kept humanity trapped for centuries, leading to incalculable loss of human life and a massive squandering of potential. Just think of how much further along we might be as a species if the time, money and brain power poured into instruments of destruction had instead been invested in productive endeavors that improve our quality of life.Nevertheless, I refuse to surrender to cynicism or defeatism. The path towards world peace might be arduous, but it is a prize worth fighting for through proper channels like diplomacy, ethical leadership, and a true commitment to upholding international laws and human rights. We must have the courage to shed our insularities and recognize that in this globally interconnected world, peace, prosperity, and human welfare are indivisible across borders.At the heart of it all, the quest for world peace stems from a basic truth - we all share one tiny planet hurtling through the vast cosmos. We are all human beings who desire security, dignity and opportunity to achieve our highest potentials. These fundamental rights and aspirations transcend nationality, ethnicity, religion or ideology. If we can tap into that commonground, perhaps we can start building sturdy foundations for an enduring peace.Beyond stopping wars and preventing conflict, true peace means addressing systemic issues that breed unrest in the first place. It means securing justice for the oppressed and marginalized. It means ensuring equitable access to food, water, shelter, healthcare and education as basic birthrights. It means respecting diversity while celebrating our common humanity. It means sustainable stewardship of our environment to protect our planetary home for future generations. Only when these building blocks of human security and development are in place can we hope to construct a durable peace.With world peace established, nations can channel their full productive capacities inwards to keep elevating their citizens' quality of life through sustainable economic development. My dream for my beloved homeland is to see it become a shining beacon of prosperity amidst this peaceful world order - a nation overflowing with opportunity, innovation, and fulfillment for all its people. I want to see local communities across my country thrive and flourish on the back of robust public services,world-class infrastructure, and an economy fueled by knowledge and cutting-edge industries.I envision a future where every child in my homeland has access to quality education that equips them with the skills and knowledge to reach their fullest potentials. A future where citizens need not worry about basic healthcare or housing because the foundations of a robust social safety net are firmly in place. A future where bountiful high-paying jobs awaithard-working youth regardless of background because an environment of merit-based upward mobility permeates every sector. A future where all people can feel safe, respected, and empowered to pursue their dreams without fear or systemic barriers holding them back.In this prosperous homeland, cities will be marvels of modern planning - green and sustainable urban centers optimized for efficiency and quality of life. Public transportation will be fast, clean and interconnected across the nation through high-speed rail and other innovations. Digital connectivity will place the entirety of human knowledge at every citizen's fingertips. Vibrant cultural hubs will promote a renaissance of the arts, music, literature and intellectual discourse.The engines of the economy will hum with entrepreneurship and technological advancement as an educated and creative workforce propels the country into the vanguard of cutting-edgeindustries like renewable energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and space exploration. Blue-skies research and a spirit of innovation will be amply nurtured in universities and specialized research hubs. A thriving private sector driven by free market principles, competition, and consumer choice will provide prosperity and dynamism.At the same time, we must ensure that rapid economic progress does not leave any segments of society behind. A strong yet lean social safety net will protect the vulnerable like the elderly, disabled, impoverished andmarginalized minorities. Labor rights and environmental protections must be robustly enforced to prevent worker exploitation or corporate excess from fouling our land, air and water. A meritocratic yet caring homeland can show the world that economic vibrancy and social justice are not mutually exclusive ideals when implemented pragmatically.Harmony between humanity and nature is another key pillar of this idyllic vision. An ethos of conservation and sustainability will permeate industry and society at every level. Buildings will be constructed with green materials and passive heating/cooling designs. Clean and renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and nuclear fusion will steadily replace dirty fossil fuels. Urbanplanning will optimize green spaces and transit to reduce emissions and environmental footprints. Concerted national efforts to clean up polluted waterways, remediate toxic sites, protect biodiversity and expand forests will restore environmental health and beauty. The relentless pursuit of new green technologies will be a source of pride and global leadership for my nation on the world stage.Of course, none of these ambitious aspirations can be achieved without principled and ethical governance that strives for the greatest good while safeguarding human rights and civil liberties. Democratic institutions, transparency, freedom of speech and freedom of the press must be sacrosanct in my flourishing homeland. The rule of law applied equally to all citizens without prejudice is a prerequisite. Meritocratic and professional civil services free of graft or cronyism will be the custodians of effective and pragmatic policymaking.At the international level, I want my nation to be a responsible global citizen and force for peace, cooperation and mutual prosperity. Commitments to treaties, ethical conduct in trade and fair dealings with all will build trust and goodwill on the world stage. With domestic harmony and strength secured, my country can play a constructive role in resolving regionaltensions and global conflicts through dialogue, multilateral cooperation and adherence to international law. Its economic and technological prowess can be leveraged as a positive force by collaborating with allies and partners to help developing nations meet human development goals and adapt to climate change.As a hub for global talent, my prosperous homeland will be a magnet for the world's brightest minds across fields like science, technology, arts and culture. Its doors will be open to immigrants and refugees fleeing conflict or hardship in search of safety and opportunity, like countless previous generations who found new lives and contributed immensely to the nation's dynamism. This enlightened openness to global talent and diversity will breed further creativity and innovation to benefit the world.At its core, the homeland I dream of will be an inspiring example of what can be achieved when people of all backgrounds work towards a shared vision of peace, prosperity and human welfare on a bedrock of universal rights and sustainable principles. A homeland that lifts up not just its own citizens, but contributes solutions for the betterment of all humanity. A harmonious nation in a more harmonious world order where cooperation transcends conflict at long last.It is an ambitious and audacious vision to be sure, and one that will require immense perseverance and efforts sustained over generations to manifest in its full glory. But what is the alternative - to resign ourselves to perpetual strife, injustice and unfulfilled human potential? As a student with dreams for the future, I cannot accept such a cynical fate for our world.Instead, I choose to embrace this noble quest for world peace and human prosperity as an important touchstone to orient my life's journey. I will dedicate myself to acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to help make this dream a reality in whatever role I may play - as a engaged citizen, a professional in my chosen field, or perhaps even as a principled leader in the public arena one day. The path will be difficult with many obstacles to surmount, but the shining vision will forever be my lodestar to motivate me onward.In the end, world peace and human prosperity are not mere idealistic fancies, but a moral cause that speaks to the highest values and deepest yearnings we all share across cultures. They are visions of what can be achieved when 'we the people' collectively choose hope over cynicism, courage over fear, and justice over injustice. If we stay true to these clarion callings ofour conscience, I believe this dream can and will be realized in my lifetime and that of future generations to篇2A Harmonious World and a Thriving MotherlandAs a student, I often find myself pondering the state of the world and my nation's place within the global community. It is a time of both immense challenges and boundless opportunities, where the pursuit of peace and prosperity has never been more crucial. From my vantage point, I can see the intricate tapestry of human civilization, woven together by the threads of diverse cultures, beliefs, and aspirations.The concept of world peace is not a mere idealistic notion; it is a fundamental necessity for the continued progress andwell-being of humanity. In a world plagued by conflicts, violence, and discord, the pursuit of harmony and understanding among nations and peoples is the only path that can lead us towards a brighter future. History has taught us time and again that wars and hostilities breed nothing but suffering, destruction, and the erosion of human dignity.It is disheartening to witness the countless instances of strife and turmoil that continue to unfold across the globe, fueled byideological differences, territorial disputes, and the insatiable thirst for power and resources. The consequences of these conflicts are far-reaching, impacting not only those directly involved but also the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. Children, the most vulnerable members of our society, bear the brunt of these conflicts, deprived of their fundamental rights to education, safety, and a nurturing environment.However, amidst the darkness, there are beacons of hope that illuminate the path towards a more peaceful coexistence. International organizations, such as the United Nations, have played a pivotal role in fostering dialogue, mediating disputes, and promoting global cooperation. The adoption of frameworks like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has demonstrated the world's commitment to addressing pressing issues, including poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation – all of which are inextricably linked to the pursuit of lasting peace.As citizens of the world, it is our collective responsibility to embrace the values of tolerance, empathy, and mutual respect. By recognizing our shared humanity and celebrating our differences, we can build bridges of understanding that transcend borders and ideologies. Education plays a crucial rolein this endeavor, equipping young minds with the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and ethical foundations necessary to navigate the complexities of our interconnected world.Turning my gaze towards my beloved motherland, I cannot help but swell with pride at the remarkable progress and achievements that have been made in recent decades. From a nation once ravaged by poverty and turmoil, my country has risen to become a formidable economic powerhouse, a beacon of innovation, and a champion of sustainable development.The prosperity and stability that my nation enjoys today are the fruits of unwavering determination, visionary leadership, and the collective efforts of its people. The unwavering commitment to reform and opening-up policies has ushered in an era of unprecedented growth, lifting millions out of poverty and propelling the country towards modernity.However, this journey towards prosperity has not been without its challenges. The rapid pace of development has brought with it environmental concerns, urbanization pressures, and societal shifts that must be addressed with foresight and prudence. It is imperative that we strike a delicate balance between economic progress and environmental stewardship,ensuring that the gains of today do not come at the cost of compromising the well-being of future generations.As a student, I am deeply inspired by the strides my nation has made in the realms of education and scientific advancement. World-class universities and research institutions have emerged, nurturing the minds of tomorrow's leaders and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. It is this investment in human capital and intellectual prowess that will propel our nation to new heights, enabling us to tackle the most pressing challenges of our time and contribute to the betterment of humanity.Yet, amidst this progress, we must not lose sight of our cultural heritage and the values that have guided our nation through centuries of adversity. The rich tapestry of our traditions, philosophies, and artistic expressions serve as a profound source of strength and resilience, reminding us of our roots and the wisdom of our ancestors.As I look towards the future, I am filled with a sense of optimism and determination. The path ahead may be fraught with obstacles, but I firmly believe that through unity, perseverance, and a steadfast commitment to peace and progress, we can overcome any challenge that lies before us.To my fellow students and citizens of the world, I implore you to embrace the ideals of global harmony and cooperation. Let us be the architects of a better tomorrow, where nations coexist in peace, and prosperity is shared equitably among all peoples. Together, we can build a world where conflicts are resolved through dialogue, where diversity is celebrated, and where the pursuit of knowledge and understanding transcends boundaries.In this noble endeavor, my motherland stands as a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of resilience and the unwavering pursuit of progress. As we stride forward into the future, let us draw inspiration from our nation's achievements and contribute our talents and efforts towards the realization of a harmonious world and a thriving motherland, where peace and prosperity reign supreme.篇3Peace on Earth, Prosperity for Our HomelandAs a young student, I often find myself pondering the world around me and the future that lies ahead. In these moments of quiet reflection, two hopes burn brightly within my heart – thepursuit of lasting world peace and the enduring prosperity of my beloved motherland.Peace, that elusive yet precious ideal, has long been the dream of countless generations before us. Throughout human history, we have witnessed the devastating consequences of conflict, the senseless loss of life, and the destruction wrought by war. Entire civilizations have crumbled, cultures have been erased, and the progress of humanity has been set back time and time again by the scourge of violence.Yet, in the face of such adversity, the human spirit has remained resilient, and the quest for peace has persisted. We have seen glimpses of what is possible when nations and peoples come together in solidarity, setting aside their differences and embracing the common bonds that unite us all. The formation of international organizations, the signing of treaties, and the tireless efforts of peacemakers across the globe have all contributed to the gradual erosion of the barriers that divide us.However, true and lasting peace remains an elusive goal, one that will require the collective efforts of every nation, every community, and every individual. It is a challenge that transcends borders and ideologies, demanding that we look beyond ourown self-interests and embrace the shared values of compassion, understanding, and respect for one another.As a student, I am acutely aware of the crucial role that education plays in fostering a culture of peace. It is through the acquisition of knowledge, the cultivation of critical thinking, and the exposure to diverse perspectives that we can begin to dismantle the prejudices and misconceptions that fuel conflict. By encouraging open and respectful dialogue, by promoting empathy and understanding, and by instilling a sense of global citizenship in the hearts and minds of young people, we can lay the foundations for a more peaceful world.Yet, my aspirations for peace are inextricably linked to the prosperity and well-being of my motherland. For it is within the embrace of a strong, prosperous, and stable nation that the seeds of peace can truly take root and flourish.My motherland, a land of rich cultural heritage and boundless potential, has weathered its fair share of challenges and adversities throughout its storied history. Yet, through the unwavering resilience and determination of its people, it has emerged time and again, stronger and more resolute in its pursuit of progress and development.As a student, I am in awe of the remarkable strides my nation has made in various fields – from technological advancements and economic growth to achievements in science, arts, and culture. The rise of thriving industries, the construction of modern infrastructure, and the cultivation of a skilled and educated workforce have all contributed to the growth and prosperity that we enjoy today.However, true prosperity extends far beyond mere economic indicators and material wealth. It encompasses the well-being of our citizens, the preservation of our environment, and the nurturing of a society built upon principles of equality, justice, and opportunity for all.It is my fervent hope that my motherland will continue to embrace these ideals, investing in the education and empowerment of its people, promoting sustainable development practices, and fostering an inclusive and harmonious society where every individual can thrive and contribute to the greater good.Moreover, the prosperity of our nation is inextricably linked to the stability and cooperation of the global community. In an increasingly interconnected world, the challenges we face – be they economic, environmental, or security-related – transcendnational boundaries and demand collective action. It is through strengthening international partnerships, promoting free and fair trade, and fostering mutual understanding and respect among nations that we can create an environment conducive to lasting prosperity for all.As I look towards the future, I am filled with a sense of hope and determination. I am inspired by the countless individuals, organizations, and nations that tirelessly work towards the noble goals of peace and prosperity, undeterred by the obstacles and challenges that lie ahead.It is my sincere belief that through education, open dialogue, and a unwavering commitment to the values of compassion, justice, and cooperation, we can build a world where lasting peace becomes a reality, and the prosperity of our motherland serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all nations.In this pursuit, I pledge to play my part, no matter how small. Whether through academic excellence, civic engagement, or the simple act of fostering understanding and goodwill among my peers, I will strive to contribute to the greater cause of a peaceful and prosperous world.For it is only through the collective efforts of individuals, communities, and nations that we can transcend the divisionsthat have plagued humanity for far too long, and usher in a new era of global harmony, where the aspirations of peace and prosperity are no longer mere dreams, but tangible realities that we can all embrace and celebrate.。

In the vast tapestry of human civilization,labor has always been a thread that weaves through the fabric of culture.It is through labor that societies have developed, traditions have been passed down,and cultures have flourished.The act of working with our hands,minds,and hearts has not only shaped our physical world but also our cultural identities.The Role of Labor in Cultural PreservationLabor plays a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage.Traditional crafts,for instance, are often passed down through generations,with each artisan adding their unique touch to the work.This continuity ensures that the cultural significance and techniques of these crafts are not lost over time.For example,the intricate weaving patterns of the Navajo people or the pottery techniques of the Chinese have been preserved through the labor of skilled artisans.Cultural Expression Through LaborLabor is also a means of cultural expression.The way people work reflects their values, beliefs,and social structures.In many indigenous cultures,the labor of farming,fishing, or hunting is not just about sustenance it is a way of connecting with the land and the spiritual world.This connection is often expressed through rituals,songs,and dances that accompany these activities.Labor as a Catalyst for Cultural EvolutionFurthermore,labor has been a catalyst for cultural evolution.As societies develop new technologies and methods of production,they also create new cultural practices.The Industrial Revolution,for example,brought about significant changes in the way people worked and lived,leading to new forms of art,literature,and social organization.The Impact of Labor on Cultural IdentityThe type of labor a society engages in can also shape its cultural identity.Agricultural societies often have a deep connection with the land and the cycles of nature,which is reflected in their festivals,rituals,and daily life.In contrast,societies that are heavily reliant on technology and digital labor may develop a culture that values innovation, efficiency,and connectivity.Challenges and OpportunitiesHowever,with the rapid pace of globalization and industrialization,there are challenges to the traditional forms of labor that have been the bedrock of many cultures.The loss of traditional skills and the homogenization of culture are real concerns.Yet,there are also opportunities for new forms of cultural expression and innovation to emerge from these changes.ConclusionIn conclusion,labor is not just a means of production it is a vital component of cultural identity and heritage.It is through the recognition and celebration of the diverse forms of labor that we can ensure the richness of our cultural tapestry continues to thrive.By supporting traditional artisans,promoting sustainable practices,and encouraging innovation,we can honor the past while shaping a vibrant cultural future.。

最后祝小伙伴们顺利通过跨文化交际考试！Unit 1(第一单元抽象的理论很多，只做了名词解释和简答)名词解释Culture: In other words, culture is the set of values and beliefs, norms, and customs, rules and codes that socially defines a group of people, binds them to one another, and gives a sense of commonalityCommunication is a process by which a source transmits a message to a receiver through some channel.Intercultural communication occurs whenever a minimum of two persons from different cultures or microcultures come together and exchange verbal and nonverbal symbols.简答1. What is Characteristics of Culture?1) Culture is learned.2) Culture is transmitted from generation to generation.3) Culture is based on symbols.4) Culture is subject to change.5) Culture is ethnocentric.具体解释如下：1. 1 Culture1.1.1 A Definition of CultureIn 1993, two anthropologists, Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhorn examined 300 definitions of culture , and they found none of them are the same；Yet there are some fundamental properties about culture on which most people agree. Culture is the collective answer to questions as: Who am I? How should I live my life? Where do I fit in the world? In other words, culture is the set of values and beliefs, norms, and customs, and rules and codes that socially defines a group of people, binds them to one another, and gives a sense of commonality (Trenholm and Jenson, 2000)1.1.2 Characteristics of CultureDespite of the different opinion about the definition of culture, most people agree about the main characteristics of culture. Larry A. Samovar and Richard E. Porter summarized thecharacteristics of culture as followings:Culture is learned. If one can’t learn from those who live before, we would not have culture. Therefore, we say learning was the most important of all the characteristics of culture. If a baby was cut off from all adult care, training. He can still instinctively eat, drink, defecate, urinate and cry. But what and when would he eat, where would he defecate and urinate, it is most likely he would do all these things randomly.But where and how can we learn culture is hard to explain. We learn our culture through interactions with other people. It’s hard to name who are the “other people”, we receive instructions from family and friends and numerous other “teachers” without knowing it.Culture is transmitted from generation to generation.For culture to exist, endure, and perpetuate, they must make sure that their crucial “message” and elements get passed on. Brislin once said “ if there are values considered central to a society that have existed for many years, they must be transmitted from one generation to another” (p. 6). Keesing said, “ any break in the learning chain would lead to a culture’s disappearance” (p. 28).Culture is based on symbols. Culture is learned and passed from generation to generation, but how to learn and pass? It is our symbol-making ability enables us to learn and pass on our culture from individual to individual, group to group, and generation to generation. The portability of symbols allows people to package and store them as well as transmit them. Culture is historical as well as preservable. Each new ge neration might “write”Culture is subject to change. Cultures are dynamic systems that do not exist in a vacuum and therefore are subject to change. Cultures are constantly being confronted with ideas and information for “outside” sources.When we talk about culture change, we should keep two points in mind. First, cultures are highly adaptive. In history, there are a lot of examples of how cultures have been forced to change their course because of natural disasters, wars, and etc. Second, although many aspects of culture are subject to change, the deep structure of a culture resists major alterations. Barnlund clearly make this point when he writes: “The spread of Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and Confucianism did not homogenize the societies they enveloped. It was usually the other way around: Societies insisted on adapting the religions to their own cultural traditions” (p.192)Culture is ethnocentric.The important tie between ethnocentrism and communication can be seen in the definition of the term “ ethnocentrism”. Summer defined it as “ the technical name for the view of things in which one’s own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it” (p.13) Keesing summarized the power and impact of ethnocentrism “ Nearly always the folklore of a people includes myths of origin which give priority to themselves, and place the stamp of supernatural approval upon their particular customs” (p. 45).2. What are the Prosperities of Communication?1) Communication is a process2) Communication is dynamic.3) Communication is interactive/ transitive.4) Communication is intentional5) Communication is symbolic6) Communication is contextual7) Communication is ubiquitous.8) Communication is cultural具体解释如下：1. Communication is a process. “Communication theory reflects a process point of view…you cannot talk about the beginning or the end of communication…”(Berlo)2. Communication is dynamic. “Communication is a transaction among symbol users in which meanings are dynamic, changing as a function of earlier usages and of changes in perceptions and metaperceptions. Common to both meanings is the notion that communication is time-bound and irreversible.” (Bowers and Bradac)3. Communication is interactive/ transactive. “Communication occurs when two or more people interact through the exchange of messages.” (Goss)4. Communication is symbolic. “… all the symbols of the mind, together with the means of conveying them through space and preserving them in time.” (Cooley)5. Communication is intentional. “…communication has as its central interest those behavioral situations in which source transmits a message to a receivers with conscious intent to affect the latter’s behavior.” (Miller)6. Communication is contextual. “Communication always and inevitably occurs within some context.” (Fisher)7. Communication is ubiquitous. “…communication is the discriminatory response of an organism to a stimulus.” (Stevens)8. Communication is cultural. “…culture is communication…communication is culture.”(Hall)Unit 3（加粗的要重点记忆，考查方式多样，可能是判断选择或翻译，汉译英英译汉都有！）Translation1.天何言哉？四时行焉，百物生焉，天何言哉？Heaven does not speak in words. It speaks through the rotation of the four seasons and the growth of all living things.2.天地之大德曰生The great virtue of Heaven and Earth is creating life.3.获罪于天,无所祷也He who offends against Heaven has none to whom he can pray4. 仁者,爱人,亲亲为大.The greatest love for people is the love for one’s parents.5. 己所不欲,勿施于人Do not do toward others anything that you would not want to be done to you6. 父母在,不远游,游必有方.Children should not travel far while their parents are alive. If they have no choice but to do so, they must retain some restraint.7. 父母之年，不可不知也。

All cultures have established a set of beliefs that constitute the code of values and moral laws for the people who belong to that particular culture. In Asia, for instance, people were all exposed 1 certain social phenomena and consequently adopted 2 beliefs that now dictate their behavior as a completely separate culture. In other countries, people share different beliefs and values 3 to a variety of important factors. Religion is one of the most important deciding points that 4 the society in terms of its cultural beliefs and traditions.

We are inevitably shaped by our past because history has a habit of repeating itself, 6 the human condition allows us to intellectually forget. Cultural differences present a very 7 social phenomenon to study and understand. There are cultures that share very similar values and traditions while there are other cultures that have very 8 beliefs. To study a particular culture is virtually to study the people and their behavior from a sociological 9 . It is very important to construct a working definition of a culture. Culture is a set of social norms, traditions, beliefs and values 10 by a large group of people. Individuals who belong to that group can be 11 a culture. They can be called a society because 12 this point there is not much difference between the two notions. A society is literally a group of people that share that particular set of beliefs, values and so on, whereas the word “culture” has 13 different, but not much, connotations (涵义). A particular culture may as well be shared by 14 one nation whereas the word “society” is usually applicable 15 the nation that inhabits a particular country. There are slight differences between these two terms, 16 most sociologists and anthropologists (人类学家) replace one for the other. In 17 words, a culture is a set of beliefs or a particular ideology that a society shares. It is very interesting to understand 18 people develop a culture, because it seems to be a purely 19 phenomenon developed by a group of people and then spread among other people who somehow relate 20 that particular group.
