Sometimes English learners have to find out the differences between cultures, like Chinese culture and American culture. Although it is hard to tell which culture is better, we should respect (尊重) both of them. 26
Because American people’s ideas are different from Chinese, it is necessary to discuss the party culture.
27 Chinese people are more interested in having a party at restaurants. The party organizers often invite a lot of people to come and have fun, such as birthday party and wedding (婚礼) party. 28 Most of their parties are small, and only friends will come.
The second difference is about the time. 29 For example, if organizers tell them the party will start at twelve o’clock, it’s polite (礼貌的) to arrive at the restaurant ten or fifteen minutes earlier. Americans won’t do the same as us. 30 Because they are afraid that the organizers won’t prepare everything well if they go there too early.
All in all, remembering these cultural differences will be important if you are going for a trip to America or other countries in the future.
