Many Chinese people go abroad to travel, to study, and even to live on their own. People
should learn about the cultures they visit because some of the cultures are very different from ours. If you know them and understand them, it will help you a lot.
Talking about the weather and sports is a good way to start a conversation. But when you talk to westerners, you shouldn't ask their age because it is not polite. Also, you should not ask about how
much money they make every month, not even with someone you know well. In public places like museums and libraries, you shouldn't eat or drink when others are quietly looking at art works or reading books. When you visit a western country and you want to give someone a small gift or flowers, be careful to choose the right color of flowers. This is because in some countries white flowers are for the dead. When you receive a gift from someone, remember to write a thank you note to express your thankfulness. Using polite language will never be wrong. The most important thing to remember is that wherever you are, respect the local culture. It may not be the same as the one in your home country, but you should try your best to learn about it and respect it.
