Since I go to high school, I am so excited about English class, because we have a foreign teacher, whose name is Paul. Paul likes to share funny things about how foreigners think about China. The way he talks makes us laugh out loudly. I learn that a lot of foreigners misunderstand our culture. Before they come to China, all they learn about this big country is from media. The media always report the negative sides, such as woman has low status, and Chinese people eat all kinds of animals. When they come to China, what they see is very different. This country is not that poor and people here are very friendly. Foreign people misunderstand our culture, and this situation happens all the time. Of course, we also will misread their culture. It is important to have real communication, so as to get further understanding.

自从我上高中后，我就对英语课很感兴趣，因为我们有一个外国老师，他的名字叫保罗。保罗喜欢分享外国人如何看待中国的有趣事情。他说话的方式总是让我们大声笑出来。我知道很多外国人误解我们的文化。在他们来中国之前，他们对这个大国的了解仅来自媒体。媒体总是报道负面的消息，如女性地位低，吃各种各样的动物。当他们来到中国后，他们所看到的却是很不一样的。这个国家没有他们想象中的那么贫穷，人们也很友好。外国人们误解我们的文化，这种情况是时常发生的，当然，我们也会误解他们的文化。真正的沟通是很重要的，这样才能都得到进一步的理解。
