Reflection Task 2a





http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RtGmqaM3Zo


THE STRANGEST 6 HABITS YOU CAN PICK UP AFTER LIVING 6 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

1) BRAZIL

A traveller staying Brazil more than 1 year says that he pick up a habit there.It is "asking his guests if they want to have shower.You know Brazil is hot country , so people need to ask them if they want to be fresh or not.I find it strange , because weather plays such an effective role on the country's culture.

 2) PHILIPPINES

You know that in many culture,using index finger to point something is not an ethical way.However, Philippines have a habit about pointing something.They use their lips to point something.They are really sensitive,but they make a funny facial expression.Our traveller states that he got used to it and when he was in other countries,people got surprised for his expression.

3) IRELAND

Irish people put no limits on their friendship concept.They have a tradition to talk everyone with the same level of informality.They talk to police officers or teachers as if they were their friends.If you got used to it,you would face with different reactions in other countries.

 4) RIO DE JANEIRO

If you are in a restaurant in Rio de Janeiro,you must accustom yourself to eat your pizza with ketchup.


5) GERMANY

 In Germany,it is more normal to be straight with people and give them direct truth.In some countries like Canada giving truth for example not complemeting sth.for not loved is a rude behavior but Germans are really frank.

 6) TURKEY

 He has been in Turkey and he claims Turks have an habit and transmit it into the others.It is carrying a lighter even though you do not smoke.

 I think our traveller is crazy boy.If you watch the video whose link is at the top of the page,you see you can travel around the world without so much money.I choose this topic because I believed it would encourage me.Then,the man's impulsive tone affected me like I expected.Also,I hope you will like it because we are all interested in language and culture.Preparing this work is not such a hard job.I did not associate with any challenges.Enjoy reading see you guys and girls. (:

    Dear Gizem,
    The topic is vey interesting. I think that your paragraph has a good organization. Your sentences are plain and fluent and they explain the topic well. However, you should use more connectors. I saw some grammatical mistakes. In Brazil part, you said 'You know Brazil is hot country ' I think you shoul use article. ( Brazil is a hot country) and you said 'because weather plays such an effective role on the country's culture' it may be 'because the weather..' The other mistake is in Germany part. You said ' but Germans are really frank' I think it should be However, according to Germans this behavior is praiseworthy...' In this way the meaning can be getting more plain. That's all. I enjoyed while I was reading it. I hope you will improve your writing ! Good luck ! :)
