Intercultural Differences
Namaste. Konnichiwa. Sawasdee. Xin chao. Halo. There are many different ways to say
hello if you travel around Asia. We live in a world with many different people and many
different cultures. In addition, the world is getting smaller. We can now communicate
with people around the world. However, technology is going to improve, and intercultural
communication is going to increase even more. So, we all need to understand cultural
differences. This will help us to understand other people.
Many schools have classes about intercultural communication. In these classes, students
learn about cultural differences. There are many differences. For example, body language
can be different. Also customs, for example holidays, weddings, or the way people do
business, can be different.

Plum Rain – Rainy Season

Look at the picture below. What do you see? What are people doing? Write down some
words to describe the picture.
The East Asian region has four seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter. So, people in
China, Korea and Japan can enjoy the changing seasons. However, from late spring to early
summer, there is also a fifth season. It is called the East Asian rainy season. In Korea, it
is called jangma. In Chinese, it is called meiyu, and in Japan it is called tsuyu. The name
means plum rain. It is called plum rain because the rains always come when the plums
grow on the trees.
From the start of June to mid-July, it rains almost every day. It is seldom sunny during the
rainy season. This fifth season usually lasts for about fifty days. The air feels different from
the other times of year. The air is wet and humid. So it is difficult to wash and dry your
clothes. The rainy season is an uncomfortable time of the year.
What causes the rainy season? Every year around this time, cold air from the north meets
warm air from the south. The result is a month or more of bad weather. There are also
many floods during this season. So, it can also be quite dangerous.
Everyone complains about the rainy season. No one seems to like it. However, the rainy
season is very important for this region. The rainy season brings the water that rice needs
to grow. Without the rainy season, Japan, Korea, and China would have a very different
culture than they have today.

Advantages of Tourism
Do you like traveling? According to the World Tourism Organization, the travel industry
is growing at an average annual rate of 4% worldwide. Tourism today offers many choices,
from wildlife safaris to the interesting night-life in large, modern cities. People like to visit
new places and try new things. They enjoy experiencing new cultures and meeting new
people.
This is good news for many places, because tourism can bring a lot of money into an area.
When tourism grows, new resort hotels are needed. So, when companies build new hotels,
workers are needed. This creates new jobs for the local people. In addition, tourists spend a
lot of money at restaurants and shops, which helps local businesses. So, tourism is good for
economic growth.
Tourism is also a great opportunity. Tourists and locals can learn about each other’s
culture. Locals can teach tourists about the history and culture of their country. Tourists
can learn about the local food, the local arts, the local holidays, and many other things.
Tourists can also share their stories about life in their home countries. So, everyone can
Write some words to describe these pictures. learn something.
Tourism is good for everyone. Tourists can see some amazing sights and learn about life
in another town or country. In addition, when people spend money, the local economy
Warming-up 2 improves. Lastly, tourism helps us to understand the world a bit better.
