Cultural gesture.(Issue)

In Bulgaria, one nods one's head for "no" and shakes it back and forth for "yes". If you make the ok sign in Brazil, with the index finger and thumb making a circle. It is not only not okay, it's very impolite. To show the bottom of one's feet to a Turk is a serious insult, implying that "you are lower than the ground I walk on." Throughout the Middle East, to offer the left hand in a handshake or to wave it at someone will offense him or her deeply. Frenchman wants to make a strong point, he waves his upraised index finger from side to side. In many Mediterranean cultures, men who are nonromantic friends walk hand in hand. And in America, a firm handshake and a direct look in the eye are expected when men meet one another. In many cultures, this would be considered very rude. Clearly, The meaning of body language may be different in another.

In my dorm

Little bit boring now. But I know, I should make it interesting. I am listening my favorite music songs, and singing loudly in my dorm. I revoked a piece of my blur memory. Since I was young in high school, I love to learn English. Owing to I had a excellent teacher who is named Lin Way. He studys English very extensively, and his teaching are flexible and fun. I always expect his class. Oh! It was a great time. I eager for singing now. Goodbye everyone~

My lazy day

I am lazy today. watching some blogs of my friends, and adding some comments on it. Recently I heard a news from my sister. She said she was baptized a christian, and I was real shocked. wow! Why did she decide to be christened? I think she must regard it for a long time. I respected to her. I have got two sisters, as well as they are both christian. I still don't know whether I want to be a christian or not. Although my sister took me to the church which nears my home, I just have not ever thought of it. I watched my sister's blog yesterday. she was glad that she did right choice. I was afraid of christian in the past, because they kept preaching to me. Often called me to attend their activity. Now I am not contact it, except my sisters. I feel not so pressured.
