experience the most,culture shock,?,What aspects of your culture do foreigners often find it hard to get used to?,In which English-speaking country would you most like to study English.Why?,As a way of improving your English,you have decided to,subscribe to an Internet pen pal agency.The agency has,provided you with the details of a person your age in the,USA.In your notebook,write an informal letter including,the following information.,g,a brief introduction about yourself,reason(s)why you want to improve your English,a description of your current English classes,brief explanation of the things that you find difficult in,learning the language,comments about how you try to overcome these difficulties,Speaker 1(from China):,When I first came to the USA,everything was very strange.In China,people generally do,not express their opinions so openly.We like to talk,but we,are more reserved about our own opinions.I found American people very outspoken and so used to expressing themselves.I felt inadequate at first and I was scared to open my mouth!I was surprised at the way students challenged their professors and how employees argued with their bosses.At first it seemed to me like a lack of respect for their superiors,but now I know it is normal.I also found the humor strange in the beginning and I could never understand the jokes.But Im adjusting to that and even beginning to laugh at some of the jokes.,Speaker 2(from the UK):,When youre in Saudi Arabia,it is very important to follow all the social and dress conventions.I always wear a long-sleeved shirt and often a jacket as well even in the stifling heat.If my Saudi host removes his shoes,going into a building,then I have to do the same.I have to remember to never point at anybody and under no circumstances eat with my left hand.Another thing I have to remember is not to sit with the sole of my shoe or my foot exposed.,Speaker 3(from Japan):,Now Im used to the Brazilian way of doing business,but it took some time.In Japan,we like to plan ahead so setting up appointments a couple of weeks in advance,is not a problem for us.However,what we do find strange is the way Brazilians touch you on the arm or on the back while talking to you.We Japanese are much more formal than this and a lot of physical contact in public is not our style.Also,Brazilians are more relaxed and they tend to spend fifteen minutes or so on small talk before starting a meeting.I find this a bit of a waste,of time,but we have to observe their customs.I used to find it frustrating but,you know,it does help to get to know people,and the meeting then usually runs more smoothly.,Speaker 4(from the USA):,I find that many French people are very conscientious about dress and so I have to make a bit of an effort because I think we Americans are more casual.Sometimes I find it a bit stifling because I like to take my jacket off and roll up my sleeves when getting down to business.The French dont do that,so I have to keep my jacket on in meetings.One thing that I find a bit irritating is the French attitude toward time.Compared with many Americans,they are quite causal about their timekeeping so I dont try to pack too much into one day.For me,one of the biggest challenges has been improving my French.They definitely like you to try to speak the language even if you cant conduct the whole meeting in French.,Speaker 5(from the UAE):,I find that Australian society is much more causal than Arab society.People dress in a very casual manner even in the workplace.,What is probably most different for me is the Australians punctuality as this is not one of the strong points of my culture.Australians also like to maintain strong eye contact and this can sometimes make Arab people feel uncomfortable.Australians are friendly but they are also very direct and we are not used to this.In our culture,we like to preface business deals with small talk and inquiries about the other persons health and general chitchat.But Australians prefer to get right,to the point.,Lesson 2,Corporate culture,In pairs or small groups,discuss the meaning of these,expressions.,a,management structure organizational culture,Listen to three employees talking about the organizational culture,of the companies they work for.Make notes of what each person,says about the culture of their organization and

has been criticism of his management style.,He is seen as being very controlling as he interferes in,almost every aspect of the business.,California Coolers,makes fruit drinks.Their directors encourage open and,honest communication among the staff.Ideas are shared and everyone,is encouraged to participate.The organization of office space reflects,the companys philosophy.An open-plan system is used and everyone,communicates freely because of the intermingling of staff from all,departments.Employees are motivated because they feel appreciated,and involved in what is happening in the company.To an outsider,this,setup may appear to lack privacy and interfere with productivity,but it,works very well.,Worldwide Bank,is a large banking conglomerate that has a novel way of,motivating its employees.Working with a well-known environmental group,they organize challenging projects for their employees.One project,involved a trip to work with the crocodile population in the Okavanga Delta,in Botswana.In this way,the bank tries to give employees a sense of how,their lives and work relate to the environment.Upon returning,employees,are encouraged to do something environmentally valuable in their own,communities.,Find words in the texts that mean the same as the following expressions.,d,1.to receive property,money,etc.,from,someone who has died(par.1)_,2.to order or demand

interview for my current job,I was,completely overwhelmed by the approach of the Managing,Director.We were a group of ten candidates interviewing for,five positions.They put us all together in a room and then,when the MD walked in,he had a football under his arm.,He tossed it to someone without saying anything.,Afterwards,I realized that he was assessing two things our,reaction to a new and different approach and our ability to,operate as a team.Now that I understand the MDs approach,I really appreciate his ability to think logically,but also,laterally.,Omar:,I really like my job,I mean the actual work that I do,because it is very challenging and I get to learn a lot.But,the organizational culture of the company frustrates me very,much.I know its the type of system I grew up in where,those at the top controlled everything and made all the,decisions.However,I have outgrown that and I feel that as,a professional I should have the chance to give some input,into decision-making
