China behavior VS American behavior

Different countries have different cultures and just because of the different culture, they have a different behavior in every country. Do you really know about those different behaviors? Or do you know that some countries have their own behavior before? For example, in Chinese and Americans have the different behavior in table manners, teaching behavior in the classroom and the way people express themselves with their emotions.

First of all, table manners are most important in daily life. Chinese people always use chopsticks when they are eating. They seldom use spoon to eat food unless to drink soup. Furthermore, Chinese people like to share the meal while they are eating. Every meal they just have their own bowl of rice, the rest of cuisine they put in a big plate, everybody can eat from that big plate. As for the Americans, they use a fork knife and spoon to eat. Everyone has their own dish. Moreover, each person’s meal is separate in their own plate. They order their own meal, and they seldom sharing.

In addition to table manners, teaching behavior in the classroom is also not the same. If you study aboard, you can strongly feel the difference in the way of teaching in class between China and the US. In China, they seldom use body language. It seems like Chinese teacher always is more serious in class, they like to look at the book to lead class. But things are different in America. The teacher in the US is more funny in class and they always use body language to describe the questions or have the class.

Last but not the least thing is the way people express themselves with their emotion. In China, they seldom say “I Love you” when they are chatting. They are closed. They do not often express themselves. Compared with China, however, Americans are more open. They always say “I love you, honey”, no matter to parents or friends.

It’s really interesting to know these different behaviors between the two countries from table manners, teaching behavior in the classroom, and the way people express themselves with their emotion in these two countries. It’s very important to know these behaviors because if you have friends from other countries or you go to other countries, that will help you make friends with them more easily.
