Ⅰ 中西方文化差异英语作文
The culture differences between the East and West
As we know ,there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects.I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system.For your better understanding ,I will set examples of China and America.
It is no doubtthat it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese.But people in America prefer to forks and knives.This different result is based on different food they like .Americans choose to eat beefsteak,bread,and salad,while Chinese people choose noodles ,pancakes and rice.What is more,the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out particularly.However,there is a trend that the food in both countries has been mixture.For example,the coffee and bread have introced to China.The famous KFC is very popular at children.
The gap of teaching system between China and America is big.Chinese students always complain about their homework.Too much homework has limited the time to exercise and relax.They have to recite many things as to get a high mark.Homework comes the first to them.
In my opinion,the study in America is more interesting .Teachers pay attentions to training students skills in thinking in realastic life not to emphasis on the importances of memories.In a addition,the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and the job of gruates are quite different,too.I should say that Chima government should make great efforts to improve its teaching syetem.I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheersto our country.

Social customs differ from place to place in the world. Misunderstanding will surely arise if we are not aware of these differences.
There are many differences in social customs between Americans and Chinese. The most obvious is that people are very informal in social situations in the United States. For example, they call each other by their given names
when they meet for the first
time, including the young to the old. In China, however, this will be regarded as quite impolite. Another difference is in topics in conversation. It is quite all right to ask a Chinese the cost of his possessions while it is quite rude to do so in the United States. The Chinese do not care much if they are asked about their age, their political and religious beliefs whereas these kinds of topics are usually avoided in conversations in the United States.
There are certainly many other different social customs between Americans and Chinese to which we should pay much attention in the study of the English language. Only those who have an awareness of the culture of another nation can have a better command of its language.
Ⅲ 用英文写一篇中国和美国之间的文化差异…字数120左右
In China, People are used to have rice and wheat as their daily main food resource. Chinese believes that rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits are the best for our health. In contrast, meat would be giving troubles to our health. Illness such as heart attack, high blood pressure.Whereas, in American, People mostly have beef, chicken, shrimp and turkey. In restaurants, you can easily find hamburger, steak, ribs with a little rice and a piece of bread. Most Chinese families like to cook the meals at home. When having their meal,
the family members will sit around the table and share the dishes together. In contrast, in America, not many of the Americans have their meal at home with their family members or sharing dishes on the same table.
In China, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are three ideologies which have greatly influenced the Chinese, such as the importance of ecation, respecting the elderly and parents, respecting the ghost and the gods in order to be well-being and the wheel of life. Due to the great influence of Confucianism, the Chinese always treat the elderly and their parents with respect. Therefore, Unlike the Americans, the Chinese will not call the names of their parents.
Most of the Americans believe in Christianity and Catholic. The Christians and Catholics often pray to God. We can see that the ideologies that people believe are quite different between Chinese and Americans. In comparison, the Americans are more open-minded while the Chinese are quite conservative. They believe that God bless them and they will be sent to heaven after they died.

|文化差异(Culture Difference):种族 National race
The whole question of the changing role of Blacks in American society as been the subject of newspaper articles around the world so frequently that visitors to the United States do not know what to expect when they arrive. They may be surprised when they see that Blacks and Whites work side by side in offices , factories , and schools across the country . The majority of Blacks in the United States, however, live in and around only a small number of American cities.
Many dark-skinned visitors arrive in the United States fearing personal attack or expecting various degrees of racial prejudice. Some forms of discrimination [1] still exist ,unfortunately, especially in the areas of the housing , schools , and jobs . The school equality is still more a dream than a reality. There are still too many areas of the country where Black Americans do not enjoy the same full opportunities as White Americans . However, the vast majority of American s are working , studying , and sharing public places together. This was not true even a few years ago in some parts of the country , but progress is steadily being made . You will be able to observe the improvement in race relations as soon as your plane lands . You will see it in the airport, in public buses and trains , in theaters , restaurants , rest room, in sops and libraries , in offices and factories . Close personal friendships between Blacks and Whites , full trust and social relationships are still not common , except in certain areas, However, even in this - the slowest area of progress-there has been change , especially among young people.

Culture Difference
发表日期:2005-04-22 10:58:52 作者:洪恩在线
It is not a novel knowledge that culture difference exists between eastern and w
estern countries. But not until I heard the lecture given by a Chinese scholar,
who has been lived in Australia for several years, did I came to understand that
how different it is.
The scholar summarized that we, as Chinese, prefer to think in a spiral, casual
way, while western people, more often than not, are fond of a linear, business-i
s-business way. Supporting the idea, he named out examples he himself experience
d while staying in Australia. Here are some excerpts.
Firstly, line up matter. If you are in China, it is not rare to see that a crowd
of people throng in the supermarket, trying to get service first. People in Ch
ina do line up, the scholar said in a humorous tone, but they prefer to line up
at a horizontal way.
In contrast, in western countries, say, in Australia, people always line up, no
matter in a big bank or a small grocery store. And they take it for granted. Lin
ing up has long since become part of their life that they scarcely doubt it or g
row impatient while doing it.
Secondly, first come, first served. Though in words it is a normal principle her
e in China, it’s mostly not the case in reality. Take an example of what usuall
y happens in a bank. Here when we are in a middle-sized bank, and suppose we are
talking with the cashier, it always tends to have someone butt in, claiming tha
t his or her request takes only one second.
And it seems that we have already been accustomed to it. So has the cashier. But
in western countries, it never applies. It is always rude that you butt in whil
e the cashier is serving his customer. No matter how little time your request co
sts, the cashier, more often than not, is likely to turn you down. Only one cust
omer at a time is his principle.
Thirdly, change stuff. Suppose I am in a shopping mall and the stuff I purchase
cost me 142 RMB. While lining up at the casher’s and happening to check my wall
et, I find I have 200 RMB and two one-yuan coins. What will I do? To give the ca
shier 200 RMB, or give him 200 RMB and the two one-yuan coins so that he could r
eturn me 60 RMB, which is more convenient for both of us.
I think when the Chinese were in this situation, they would mostly choose the la
tter one. But the scholar said, in Australia, they won’t do so. He then told th
at he himself did try it once, and he thought it was self-evident to do so. But
the cashier did not understand.
So the scholar latter on summarized that western people are prone to lack of fle
xibility while doing their work. Then how about us in their eyes? They think we
Chinese have a tendency to make things complicate. What an interesting contrast!
Here I don’t intend to tell which is better and which is worse. What I try to s
ay is just that we might well be in conformity with the customs and be aware of
the culture differences while being abroad. Like the saying goes—while you are
in Rome, do as Romans do. If you don’t want to put yourself in the public, bear
ing all this in mind is perhaps the best policy.

Dear Caroline,
I think your scholar friend spent several years in Australia and completely miss
ed the most important value represented in his examples. That value is egalitar
ianism. The principle that people should be treated equally.
When the bank teller insists on attending one customer at a time the principle i
s not "only one customer at a time" it is "this customer waited in line and so w
ill you, no matter how tall, how well dressed or how loud your voice." And you
can be sure if the customer is a poor working man and the impatient man is a wel
l dressed business man, the customer will very bruskly insist on his rights not
to be interrupted. A well run bank will have a customer service person who can
answer questions, but people doing transactions must wait their turn. My impres
sion of a business or a nation where people are not treated equally in the marke
tplace and a bully can obtain service without waiting is a place where there is
a class oriented culture and/or where one can bribe one …………[文章太长,没有全部显示,点击本文标题阅读全文]

Dear Tim,
The lecture given by the scholar is mainly on English learning. That's for he na
med such examples. He just aimed to tell the audience how important to understan
d a culture is, which is different from our motherland.
What you said is indeed right. And I am with you on this. The corruption in Chi
na is rampant these years, you relate it with class. Well, I haven't thought abo
ut it. But I do agree that the idea of class roots in many people's mind.
Like the example you took in the article, I almost could be sure that here the c
ashier would definitely turn to the well dressed business man. You say that the
poor working man will insist on his rigts not to be interrupted. But here I gues
s he would just pretend not to mind it and let it be.
I myself experienced this once, in fact. Once I was in a post office to have a p
ackage posted. You know, it was crowded inside and the people lined up in a wayw
ard way. So when it was my turn, and when I was just about to tell the man my re
quest, one guy …………[文章太长,没有全部显示,点击本文标题阅读全文]

Dear Panpanpan,
I wouldn't have written in such a non-diplomatic fashion except that I wanted to
see what people thought, and that sort of behavior is particularly irritating t
o me. I will try not to lose my temper when I am in China. I don't want to get
"kung fu'd". Great to hear from you, friend. I want to hear more of your thou
ghts.

It won't happen in New York. Maybe the cashers in NY are smarter. :)

Ⅷ 关于中美文化差异的英语作文
Ecation System in ChinaIn China, children begin to go to school at the age of seven. It takes six years for them to finish primary school. In this stage, they are taught elementary knowledge in language and science, which lays the foundation for their further ecation.After primary school, they go to junior middle school without having to pass any exams. Ecation at this levol is compvlsory. It lasts for three years, ring which the children learn basie Chinese English, Mathematics, Physicsand Chemistry.When the junior middle school ecation comes to an end, the students are screened by exams in two ways. those who expect to go to college may choose to enter senior middle school and those who want to work attend professional schools, The senior middle school ecation takes 3 years and the professional school2 to 3 years.The senior middle school graates have to take competitive exams before they enter college. The college ecation lasts 4 to 6 years. For a bachelor degree, students take the four year course and pass the defense of thier theses. The master degree students have another two years of study and research work and are given their degree after the defense of their theses.Such is the ecation system in China

Ⅹ 中西文化差异 英语作文
写作思路:从文章的写作目的、中心主旨入手,以使文章中心思想鲜明、深刻地表现出来,正文:
Today,lots of people are affected by western culture especially the new generation who born after 1990s.
今天,许多人受到西方文化的影响,尤其是90后。
In my opinion,some of western culture is good but some of them are not suited.Learning western culture can let us know about what is the western custom and what differnets between chinese and western.
在我看来,有些西方文化是好的,但有些不适合。学习西方文化可以让我们了解西方的习俗和中西文化的差异。
because of comparison we can learn the positive sides such as more confident,independent.On the other side,the negative sides we should not learn.for example,some high school student even younger fall in love with others.
因为比较,我们可以学到积极的一面,如更加自信、独立。另一方面,消极的一面我们不应该学习。
They spend much time to do it and forget what more important things they really need to do in that moment.Indeed,every coins have two sides.how to do deal with it,I think let time make the answer.
例如,一些高中生甚至更年轻就爱上了别人。他们花了很多时间去做这件事,却忘记了在那一刻他们真正需要做的更重要的事情。的确,每个硬币都有两面。如何处理它,我想让时间来回答。
