To adapt to
culture in Canada I often went to any store. In Canada when I enter the store,
some clerks say “Hello” or “How’s it going?” I think this is a good opportunity
to know about culture because in Japan most of clerks don’t try to take small talk.
However, I always really feel frustrated because I can’t understand what they
said due to my poor English. It is also true that this feelings give me
motivation to study English, so I will go to any store every weekend. Someday,
I want to talk with clerks such as other people in Canada.
By the way, I
began to watch TV drama, “Happy Endings” , which is popular drama in America,
to improve listening skill and to understand culture in North America. Exactly,
I can’t understand everything, so I watch same part many times. I believe this
is good method because I can study English while I enjoy watching.
In addition, I
will be able to understand culture by watching this drama. Sometimes I can’t
understand why many people are laughing. I think there are differences of humor
between Japan and Canada. Therefor I will be able to understand meaning of any
joke in Canada.
Most of clerks try to help us!

ReplyDeleteHI, Hikaru. Do you still remember the time we played soccer together, what a pity that we just played once. I like your profile picture on facebook very much. Hope you can make your dreams come true！
