5 . Professor Zhu Yunxia, an award-winning researcher and educator at the University of Queensland and has an international reputation in cross-cultural management and strategy, believes that anyone can learn to overcome cultural barriers with the right approach. She offers the following suggestions.
Be prepared for surprises.
One country might contain different cultures—China, for example, is composed of 56 ethnic groups—and within these, people may act in different ways in different contexts and with different groups of people.
While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as “hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.
Learn to “make strange”.
In day-to-day life, we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’ point of view.
Use a “cultural bridge”.
The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand.
Don’t focus on yourself.
A.Learn the“cultural grammar”. |
B.Consequently, wait for the unexpected. |
C.Develop and expand cooperative awareness. |
D.Sometimes an “insider” can help us to bridge the gap. |
E.Be open-minded and always try to aim for a win-win situation. |
F.Being too self-conscious can harm your ability to interact and learn. |
G.Learn to look at situations with fresh eyes, starting with our own culture. |

Outside Lands (August 11--13)
With San Francisco as its backdrop (背景幕布), Outside Lands is always a popular festival.
