Hello everyone!! I want to write on cross cultural communication at this time.
I have some Australian friends now because I've been to Australia in my high school days(in the first year of high school). I stayed at my host family's house for three weeks and talked each other about a lot of things. It was so difficult for me to understand whole things they said because they were natives(>_<;). (but it's no wonder;;) However what I experienced there is very precious. I knew there are many people who spend their weekends staying or playing with their families in Australia. I knew they tend to talk one another without hierarchical relationships at school!! They were all equal friends. Additionally , I knew they wipe dishes on which cleaning substance remain put....and so forth..
Thus I learned much about what I hadn't known until then from them. I think there are so many things we can learn by communicating with those who have different culture from ours. If we can't agree with them , we should try to share opinions for something and understand each other. It is important for cross cultural communication. On the other hand , it is also significant to imitate or absorb good points of each other into our daily life if we can.
Don't you think so??
Well... I want to go to bed now... See you thenノシ★
