Western Customs and manners
Nowadays,there appears a phenomenon that the western customs are spreading into the east countries step by step,thus making many inhabitants who live in big cities enjoy themselves on these western festivals such as Christmas Day,April Fool's Day,etc.Such phenomenon shows us that the world people are getting close gradually and the world is becoming smaller and smaller as well.Therefore,in my opinion,it's a normal phenomenon as well as a necessary trend.
Since we have been to Australia,we know how compulsory it is to learn the customs and manners.Australia is an English-speaking country,so many customs are similar to the British ones.For example,the Australians drive or walk on the left hand and you will be fined seriously if you drive on the right hand just like what you do in China.
In the first place,let’s talk about the language in Australia,you will find the language Australians say does not sound like typical English.For instance,the local people read ‘today’ like ‘To die’.Don’t be astonished if you hear them say ‘I am very happy to die (today)’ I advise you to ask the guide to explain to you the special pronunciations of the local people.
In the second place,you should understand the manners of the native people.Usually,foreign people are very enthusiastic,so you should be as zealous to accept their friendship.Smiling is the most important thing to do,laugh or smile to them often show your sincereness.
Once,on my way to school,I saw an old man walking to me.Although we have never met before,he offered to say 'Good morning'to me with a smile on his face.This shinny greeting made me have a nice mood whole day.It can not be more usual in foreign country to greet to a stranger,but in China,it's a very rare thing.
When you have meal with foreign friends,always be aware of your table manners as well as how to use folk and spoon correctly.All in all,show the foreigners your shinny smile and good manners.
Now I want to share some details with you which we had seen in Sydney Opera House.When I entered the famous opera house,I found that all the people were wearing formal clothes.And than the concert started,the whole concert hall had no other sound but the songs.When the church choir turned,an old lady supported by the armchair came onstage slowly——she must be over eighty ,yet she is still active in this kind of activity.I was deeply moved by her spirit.
In conclusion,as a Chinese student in other countries,it’s our duty to tell them the Chinese splendid cultures and good manners.In return ,we must learn something from our foreign friends.
