In a classroom in many countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she also teaches the culture of the country. In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students to do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves, There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The important thing is on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer. In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas; Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind. In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students. |

Before you go to another country, it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country. When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say "Hello!" or "Nice to meet you," and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven"t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time. Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh. |
