1.How do “good” health habits differ in American and China? How do “bad” health habits differ in American and China? Do you exercise regularly?

Some good health habits in America are considered bad in Chinese standards. For instance, Americans like to take a shower in the morning. However, Chinese thinks that without cleansing your body before going to bed is bad for your hygiene. On the other hand, both countries share the same opinion on exercises. Thus, I exercise regularly to keep fit.

2.How do Christmas celebrations differ from the Spring Festival celebrations in China? Which is your favorite holiday in China? Why?

Christmas celebrations are religious while Spring Festival is merely celebrating the Chinese New Year. But both holidays involve cheerful family get-togethers. My favorite holiday in China is Spring Festival. Since I am still a kid, I can receive red envelopes from my relatives. Moreover, during Spring Festival, there are delicious food and snacks everywhere.

3.What are the differences between the Chinese and westerners in greeting people/addressing people? State them and give your reasons.

Westerners address people according to their titles and martial status, such as doctors and Mrs.. On the other hand, Chinese are more likely to call them by their ages.

4.In western countries is it common to make
appointments to visit professionals such as doctors, dentists, barbers? Is it common to do so in China? Is it acceptable / common to call at a friend’s house/ visit a teacher without calling first?

It is very common to make appointments in western countries. But in China people rarely do that. Visiting friend's or teacher's without notice is very impolite in China too. It will create much inconvenient to the host.

5.What are the differences between Chinese colleges and American colleges?
In American colleges, students have much more freedom in choosing their majors while in China students have to decide their majors even before they take the college entrance exam. Also, the size of a class in America tend to be much smaller than in China. In American colleges, an average class size is around 50 students but in China it is about 100.

6.What is a typical Chinese guest / host like? What is a typical Western guest /host like? What are the common cultural mistakes the Chinese make at a Western dinner party?

A typical Chinese host likes his/her guests to finish all the food, usually telling them to "have more". On the other hand, a typical Western host will say "help yourself" to the guests, which gives the guests more freedom to choose their food or drinks.
I think the most common mistake a Chinese would make is making noisy while drinking soup. In China, making noise means the guest is enjoying the food. However, it is considered impoliteness in western dinner parties.

7.What differences in culture do you see at a

Chinese dinner party and a Western dinner party?
A Chinese dinner party is loud and happy. People like to make a toast to each other and keep drinking during the party. A Western one is more quiet and people tend to talk to the person who sits next to himself/herself only.

8.What topics of conversation are suitable between the Chinese and a Westerners? State them and give your reasons.

I think suitable topics include food, climate, education systems and travels. These topics are not only interesting but also inspiring. Both the Chinese and the western will learn differences in both culture and countries afterward.

9.What are the sensitive issues that we’d better not to touch on when we talk with Westerners? Why?

In my opinion, the sensitive issues include politics, religion, martial status and salaries. Because these topics are about personal privacy, it will be very impolite to mention them.

Answer 4

2.How do Christmas celebrations differ from the Spring Festival celebrations in China? Which is your favorite holiday in China? Why?
Answer: Speaking of the difference between Christmas and the Spring festival, the first thing pop up in my mind is the origin of those. Christmas is a celebration of baby Jesus but the Spring Festival came from a story about a monster. The second difference is that Americans usually buy a lot of presents and give them to family member at Christmas eve. However, Chinese put cash in red pockets to give to the kids in the family instead of presents. Although there are some other differences such as decorations, songs,etc, we all regard them as very important festivals to spend time with our families.

Sorry, I don't have time for all of these. Maybe you can just ask people to give 2 of all these questions and you can still get the answers to them. Anyways, good luck and mine is pretty good for an oral question. Hope this can help you~~
