How is American culture different from your culture? How can you adapt to it?

How is American culture different from your culture?
Ans. American culture in my view is kind of modern culture, compares with Asian culture. Asian is more conservative and tough to change. American is more free in many ways, for example, the way of thinking,speaking, believing and so on. However, the reasons of different are reasonable for me. Because, I think that the whole world has many countries. Each country has thier own culture,tradition ,language etc. Therefore, how is it possible that each country could have the same in the way of life? That's why they all have unique culture. For me, american is very encourage , reveal and flexible. I mean comparing with asian culture. Asian culture is always keep people esteem highly , a little bit shy and not express their true feeling too much. That is the big part which is different from American. American way always straight-forward and dare to demand for what they want, without shy.
How can you adapt to it?
Ans. Avtually , it's not going to be a problem to me. I can accept that as long as nothing is damaged or losed . I like to learn about new people, culture, food. Ir 's kind of challege to understand people and culture from different background.

Hello everyone in my AW :5 class, winter quarter 2008. My name is naveeporn but you guys can call me ing. I am from Bangkok,Thailand. I already finished bachelor's degree in my country and my major is economics. So, I decided that before I start my career . I want to improve my english first in order to get a good job or higher salary. As you know,english is one of the major language in the world. I have been here since Sep,2007. I hope that when I go back , I can use my english to communicate with foreinger fluently. This 's my goal.^-^ Anyway, I am so glad to be here with all of you. I assure that we will have a good time together in this class. For me, I think I have weakness in writting. So, I need to improve a lot. After this quarter, I wish I would have more confident in writting. Moreover, I can learn a lot from our lovely teacher and from all of you .I am ready to learn the new things. Because learning from other people, it also can help me to improve my skill in the shortcut way.
