Cultural Barriers to Business Negotiation-page 5

Custom differences

The most obvious of culture differences is the dinning atmosphere. In Chinese traditional banquet, everybody sitting and meal sits and eats a meal, from the form creates (what form?) a unity, harmony and the atmosphere of sharing, this is the so called Chinese nation common mentality of “happy reunion”(5). The western banquet is mainly for companionship, they stress elegant warmth, full of temperament(?) and interest(?) and manners, to achieve the purpose of companionship they through the conversation with guests. Chinese people like to ask things such as name, age,unit and income when meeting. Westerners hate somebody else asked ing private things such as age and income.
International business negotiation is effected by different country's national political, economic and cultural factors.  The most difficult to grasp is the cultural differences. Different cultural backgrounds bring up negotiators with a different style, therefore, it is very necessary and important to know the two sides cultural differences in international business negotiations, to understand and accept negotiator's culture. Then negotiation success can be achieved.

Intelligence

The true sign of intelligence is not the knowledge, but the imagination.

If you say "the knowledge" you are talking about something specific.  without the definite article (the) it becomes more general.

Dreams

Do you have any specific dreams? Well, I'm sure almost everyone does. As for me, one of my my dreams is to be a writer. Writing has been my passion since I was little. I love writing short stories, articles, poems, etc. Of course I'm just a beginner. But I'm sure if I keep learning and working hard, I'll be able to improve my writing skill.

Besides that, another dream of mine is to travel around the world. I want to experience everything the world has to offer. :D
These are my dreams. What about yours? :)
Whatever it is, let's pursue it. Never give up! :)

Introduction

Hi, I’m Cyril. I come from Tianjin, China. I like to learn English, and love to watch American TV shows and sing English songs. Have you guys seen The Amazing Race and Survivor? I think these shows are interesting and bring me a lot of happiness. I hope that I can travel around the world like the players of TAR in the future.  I love British bands, such as Coldplay and One Direction. I also like the singers from the US, like Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park and Maroon5. I’m addicted to Rock and electronic music. Now I’m a college student and major in Medical Imaging.

Recently there is a disease named H7N9 in the east of China. I’m scared and don’t want to eat chicken any longer. But you know most meat in my college restaurant is chicken. Hopefully this disease can be  cured soon. I want to practice my English and improve my skills. Certainly I can teach you Mandarin. I don’t have any accent. If you don’t care about the time difference you can contact me!
