A Misunderstanding!----The English Exclamation Mark Several years ago, I had a misunderstanding with my close friend, which made me have been unhappy for long time. When I sent my foreign friend an English message, then I added a Chinese sentence in the end with an exlamation. Then I was asked why I yelled to her. I was really surprised. I meant to joke with her with last sentence, but she couldn't understand Chinese very well, and told me exlamation mark means yelling in US. If we want to show your strong feelings, happiness, sadness, love, passion, excitement, hate, we use ! at the end of a sentence. We don't have any marks can show shouting or yelling to listeners. Our Chinese people are so kind and polite, few people say slang, don't mention yelling to others. Maybe a small group of people do, but most people will look down upon them. I was so sad for a couple of days. My closed friend couldn't understand me and our Chinese people. Even I 've learned English for a long time and was told my English made great progress, but I still couldn't make myself understood. I made up with her, but I still haven't had a chance to explained that to her.

An embarrassing occasion-sino-western culture difference I had experienced a very embarrassing thing, and have a question for u. Long time ago, I was a student. Once, I took a train and heard somebody said there was a foreigner on the next 车厢.I worked there and saw an African American sitting on his chair. A boy student was standing beside him and trying to talk to him. Then I came towards, and began to talk with him. But the man said, “you please say hello to me then you can talk with me”. I was so confused. If I didn’t greet him, I couldn’t open my mouth? I hesitated, and he repeated his requirement. Then I said “Good afternoon” to him. Then we begun to talk. Does “Hello”, ”Good morning” and the like words are so important when you first talk to somebody? In Chinese, you can don’t greet them, and talk directly.

The Untold Culture-Slangs I watched American dramas. The most difficult words to understand are slangs. "Bitch,Shit, Fuck" are regularly used in conversations, as well as words related to sex. We can't learn these words on English textbooks. They don't exit there. I spent a long time to understand what they said. Few people use slangs when talking in China. It's impolite to do that. You can't find dramas with slangs. People never talk about sex in public.
