Jennifer: It’s freezing outside! What happened to the weather report? I thought this cold front was

supposed to pass

Gabriela: Yeah, I thought so too That’s what I read online this morning

Jennifer: I guess the wind chill is really driving down the temperature

Gabriela: Can we go inside? I feel like my toes are starting to go numb

of thunderstorms that cause sometimes flash floods

But if you like great weather, Utah is the place for you

1 Utah has a relatively climate

However, talking about the weather can mean more than just trying to make conversation with a stranger

Trang 14

It is also used as an ice-breaker in difficult situations (for example, a job interview) or it can be used to find out more about someone’s personality If there is heavy rain one day and someone says to you,

“wow, it’s been raining all day”, how would you reply? If you’re thinking, “I know, I really hate rain I wish it would stop”, it’s possible that you’re quite a negative person But, if you’re thinking, “oh well, at least it’s good for my garden”, there is a high chance you’re an optimistic person!

The weather is everywhere and it affects everyone so if you meet a stranger or if you are introduced to someone, it is the perfect way to start a conversation! It also changes every day so there is always something to mention Imagine that you’re in a park and you spot a girl or boy that you like Do you think it’s better to start a conversation with, “your eyes are really beautiful Do you want to go on a date?” or,

“it’s a lovely day today, isn’t it?”?

So, how can you start a conversation about the weather? Well, it’s actually quite easy Just remember a few of the phrases below and try them out on a stranger next time you’re waiting for a bus or in your next job interview!

“It’s a beautiful day today, isn’t it?”

“What strange weather we’re having!”

“There’s not a cloud in the sky!”

“The sun’s come out!”

“We had a lot of rain this morning.”

“We’re having a heatwave!”

Or a very typical idiom that is used a lot in England to describe heavy rain:

“It’s raining cats and dogs!”

Culture Shock

Good morning class Today I'd like to talk about culture shock Now, many students think they know

what culture shock is, but often they are confused by the real meaning of the term "culture shock" For

example, I've heard students say, "I know what culture shock is Culture shock is a kind of surprise

that you get when you travel You might be surprised by something such as cars with their lights on

during the daytime You might notice that Canadians take off their shoes in their houses or that they

usually eat sandwiches for lunch."

Well, those aren't really examples of "culture shock" They are what I like to call "cross-cultural

surprises" Actually, culture shock is quite different from a "cross-cultural surprise" Culture shock is

the feeling of anxiousness and confusion caused when a person tries to adapt to a new environment

Culture shock also involves a physical and psychological reaction to a new environment When you

live in a new country, it is common to feel sad, lonely, or disoriented You might feel very tired or

Trang 19

Moon.vn Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG moment they arrived in the country Many of them weren't here because they wanted to be here, but

because their parents sent them here However, I think most people do have a honeymoon period

The second stage of culture shock is often called the "transition period" During this period of time

you may begin to feel frustrated You may get angry or sad Typically, people start to think about

how easy life was at home When you look around your new country, you can't believe how crazy

people are Why can't they just be like you? Why can't they speak your language? How can they live

in this awful climate and eat that disgusting food? Everything starts to get on your nerves If only you

were at home

Later, you will move on to the integration stages and you'll finally become comfortable with the new

culture and the new environment You'll come to accept that the new environment is different, but

you'll start to understand that there are some good things as well as bad things about the culture

Things won't be so difficult for you then In fact, you might actually start to prefer some parts of the

new culture to parts of your own culture Then, when you return home, you'll probably go through a

whole new stage called "reverse culture shock" We'll talk about that tomorrow

One thing to remember about culture shock is that people experience it in many different ways Each

person adapts to new environments differently and each stage of culture shock can last for varying

periods of time Before you travel to another country, it might be helpful to do some research on

culture shock so that you will be mentally prepared for the emotional and physical reactions that you

may have As well, it may help you to understand the behavior of the other travelers around you Now,

please open your book to chapter 13 and read the group questions entitled "Culture Shock Stages"

1 Which of the following is NOT a symptom of culture shock:

Feeling confused

Feeling lost

Being tired or unable to sleep

Being surprised by the new culture

2 The honeymoon period is characterized by feelings of:

Acceptance and comfort

Happiness and excitement

Nervousness and fear

Anger and frustration

3 From the listening, what does "get on somebody's nerves" mean?

To bother someone

To excite someone

To surprise someone

To calm someone down

4 During the integration stage the person will:

Want to return home

Begin to feel comfortable

Trang 20

Moon.vn Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG Join the new culture

Feel very uncomfortable

5 When does reverse culture shock happen?

When you arrive in the new culture

When you live in another country for a long time

During the integration stage

After you return home

6 Which is NOT true about culture shock:

Culture shock is different for everyone

The honeymoon stage usually lasts three months

Some people don't have a honeymoon stage

Culture shock is different from a cross-cultural surprise

KEY:

1 Being surprised by the new culture

2 Happiness and excitement

3 To bother someone

4 Begin to feel comfortable

5 After you return home

6 The honeymoon stage usually lasts three months
