Give Directions in Different Places
If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. The post office is across from the bus stop.
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say,"Go north two miles. "
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me."
Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she,like a New Yorker,might say,"Sorry,I have no idea."But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the right direction, Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A. Turn east, and then go another mile. B. But one thing will help you everywhere. C. People there think "I don't know." is impolite. D. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. E. Then they will take you through the streets of the city to the post office. |

There are lots of great people in history. Today I want to introduce
Here are some suggestions to Jack from different people.
Train your ears by listening to Chinese spoken at normal speed, even if you don't understand anything. Also practise listening without seeing things written down and don't be afraid to listen to things several times to catch any interesting or unusual words and expressions in there. —Mr Wang |
Just reading Chinese in textbooks can get boring. Try reading Chinese texts written for and by Chinese speakers. It will be a challenge at first but a lot more interesting once you can do it. —Ms Zhang |
Find out about the people and the culture of China. Learning a language is not just about grammar and words. It's about communicating with people who have different ways of thinking as well as speaking! —Li Jian |
Learning Chinese does take work, but you'll be more likely to stick to it if you are enjoying yourself. Play games, do role plays, sing songs and don't worry too much about making mistakes — making mistakes is often the way to learn best! —Liu Nan |
