Cross-culture issue in Durham

There was a seminar in my college, Ustinov, was called Intercultural Forum. It discussed about cross-cultural communication and experience. One professor from the Education school, he designed a good autobiography for foreign students in the UK. Through the autobiography, you can exam yourself about your cross-cultural experience.





The topic is really interesting and very touching. As you know, it is a little bit difficult to make ‘real’ friend with English; I didn’t mean anything. My English classmates are nice and friendly; however, because of cultural difference, we rarely can discuss anything in depth. The conversation always limited in weather or schooling. Not only Chinese has this feeling, so does European, Japanese. Because we use different language, the line is difficult to cross.





My classmates and I have a formative proposal, we want to do some research about foreign students study in the UK, especially about cross-cultural communication and their motivation. Therefore, I read several journals about Education, Cross-cultural issue, cultural adaptation, etc.





I read this and understand other foreign students more. In fact, I started to attend a in-session course ‘Speak and reading about English culture’, because I like the lecturer a lot and she is friendly. I hope I can know more about English culture from a real English lady.





I may leave here soon, but I don’t want to leave without any memory.
