Nowadays, many people will go to study abroad or work abroad. They learn different
culture, and there will have different culture collision. For me it is great to learn culture from other country. I am already in America for a month. I met different people and feel the culture shock. I will take about the different culture in America and my country China.

I feel like Americans are warm to people. For example, I walk on the campus sometimes
I will have eye contact with some people when I walk past them, and they will smile to me. I will feel a little bit embarrass with that because in China when people have eye contact with other. They will quickly look away to another place, it is rarely to smile too other.

I feel like American are outgoing. In the class, there will have a lot of American students
will answer the question, even the answer is not correct. For the Chinese students, maybe someone is limited by the languages, there have few people like to answer the question. In China, Chinese students afraid to answer the question, because they afraid to make mistakes, they afraid to losing face. However, it is good to make mistakes. People cannot always right, mistakes can help us to improve ourselves.

Learning culture is interesting. I believe culture have a lot of benefit that we are worth
learning.
