You can talk about the weather to anyone, anywhere – with a stranger at a bus stop, with your friends on the phone or when you bump into your boss in the office kitchen! However, talking about the weather can mean more than just trying to make conversation with a stranger. Moon.vn Hotline: 04.32.99.98.98 Moon.vn Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG 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!” BÀI HÁT: Rhythm of the Rain 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 HOME WORK: We like studying in our new classroom because in the morning we get a lot of ________ .

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 you might have difficulty sleeping. You may have sore muscles and you might even lose your identity and wonder "who am I". All of these types of reactions can be signs that you are suffering from "culture shock". Many people feel that culture shock has stages. The first stage is often called the "honeymoon period". Just like the holiday that newlyweds take after marriage, you might feel very happy and excited when you arrive in a new country. You look around and are amazed by all of the new things that you see. This happy period can last a short time or it may last for months or even years depending on the individual. Some students have said that they never had a honeymoon period. They were sad from the 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 Moon.vn 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. [VIDEO] HAPPY TOGETHER [VIDEO] Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG
