In yesterday’s class, Mr. Peters talked about baseball. He said, “baseball is one of the most popular sports in the USA. If you hope to speak English well, you must understand baseball. First, you need to know the rules. Then you need to try to find how it has to do with daily life.”

He gave us some expressions and let us guess the meanings. Unluckily, I had never watched a baseball game before, so I sat quietly and just listened to the others. After school, I took out a dictionary and asked Jake, one of my friends in the neighboring class, for help. Jake was kind and patient and he has been in the USA for several years. He tried to teach me the baseball rules. I learned that baseball is a game between two teams of nine players. In baseball, a player on one team throws a small round ball at the player on the other team, who tries to hit it back with a bat.

He told me more rules of the game, but the more he said, the more confused（困惑的） I felt! Maybe one day I need to watch a real game to understand it better!

Though I have lived here for a long time, I still don’t feel Canadian. This is probably because there are so many differences between Chinese manners and North American ones.

In China, if someone says that your English is excellent, you should be modest（谦虚的） and say, “Oh, no. My English is still poor.” But in North America, this is usually a sign of being weak and not confident. People just say, “Thank you.”

In Canada, people only ask children about their ages. It’s not polite to ask about an adult’s age. They think it is private. But in China this is common in many places.

In China, it is polite to offer an elderly person a seat on the bus. In North America, however, an elderly person may feel embarrassed（不好意思的） about being offered a seat.

When Chinese people eat out in restaurants, they may take turns to pay for the meal. In Canada, however, people often share the cost of a meal.

In China, if there is no food left on guests’ plates, it’s polite to put food on them. In Canada, people pass food to guests, but seldom put food on their plates.

In China, guests seldom give money to waiters, waitresses, taxi drivers or hotel workers to show thanks. In North America, this is always done. It is called “tipping”.

It’s interesting to experience two different cultures. I think understanding cultural differences really helps us to understand each other, live together and work together.
