The British people are famous for being quite reserved(保守的). We are known around the world for having the biggest "personal 1 "? the distance between us and the person we are 2 to. I have 3 been more aware of this than over the last month, since I arrived in China. Getting used to Chinese colleagues 4 close by me and even placing their hands on my arm is proving quite 5 . My natural British reaction is to 6 back and move away, even though I realize it is a friendly gesture by the Chinese person.

I have 7 many people holding hands or putting their arms around each other as they walk along the streets of Beijing. This would rarely be seen in the UK , even between very close friends.

And 8 at someone in Britain is considered very 9 . But here, I find myself being stared at often. It 10 me long to realize this was not rude in China, but a 11 of curiosity.

I visited Datong last week, where the local people are 12 used to Westerners. An elderly woman couldn't believe her 13 when she saw me. And 14 feel offended(使不舒服) by her staring at me, I was 15 to see her smile back when I said "Nihao."

When I visited one of Datong's middle schools to talk about English Weekly, the students asked me to 16 their copies of the newspaper. And one girl at the Yungang Grottoes asked to have her picture taken with me. I 17 like a celebrity(名人)!

I have 18 over the last month how true it is that the British are very 19 . We can learn a lot about 20 from China's culture and habits. And I am learning more every day.
