     In 1998, I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday 2010. It
was now 2011, so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
    Dear Sherri,
     By the time you read this, you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had many hopes and dreams about you.
Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and
abroad, maybe you have even settled (定居) down somewhere in France, and maybe you are working
in the field of art. I hope you're married to Gwynn -- the man of your dreams. You'll probably have two
children - a girl and a boy.
     If everything goes okay, you'll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and
your two children. You are doing research in painting. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you
will be doing all right for yourselves.
     However, if things don't go according to plan, I wish you love, happiness and joy.
                                                                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                                                               Sherri "18"
      When I read this, I was surprised. So much of what I wanted has come true.
       I did travel to a few more places in Canada. I've traveled to the UK, Australia and Egypt. 3I have
been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb (郊区), in a major city.
I am an
art teacher in a university. I have two lovely kids.
     But not everything went as what I hoped. I married a man named Tom Rees, and he is an excellent
artist. We are doing all right for ourselves.
    4I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman's reality (现实).

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications(沟通误解)were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific(太平洋), Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛),which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on(依据)where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
