Well, those aren't really examples of "culture shock" They are what I like to call "cross-cultural surprises" Actually, culture shock is quite different from a "cross-cultural surprise" Culture shock is the feeling of anxiousness and confusion caused when a person tries to adapt to a new environment Culture shock also involves a physical and psychological reaction to a new environment When you live in a new country, it is common to feel sad, lonely, or disoriented You might feel very tired or you might have difficulty sleeping You may have sore muscles and you might even lose your identity and wonder "who am I" All of these types of reactions can be signs that you are suffering from "culture shock" Many people feel that culture shock has stages The first stage is often called the "honeymoon period" Just like the holiday that newlyweds take after marriage, you might feel very happy and excited when you arrive in a new country You look around and are amazed by all of the new things that you see This happy period can last a short time or it may last for months or even years depending on the individual Some students have said that they never had a honeymoon period They were sad from the Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG moment they arrived in the country Many of them weren't here because they wanted to be here, but because their parents sent them here However, I think most people have a honeymoon period The second stage of culture shock is often called the "transition period" During this period of time you may begin to feel frustrated You may get angry or sad Typically, people start to think about how easy life was at home When you look around your new country, you can't believe how crazy people are Why can't they just be like you? Why can't they speak your language? How can they live in this awful climate and eat that disgusting food? Everything starts to get on your nerves If only you were at home Later, you will move on to the integration stages and you'll finally become comfortable with the new culture and the new environment You'll come to accept that the new environment is different, but you'll start to understand that there are some good things as well as bad things about the culture Things won't be so difficult for you then In fact, you might actually start to prefer some parts of the new culture to parts of your own culture Then, when you return home, you'll probably go through a whole new stage called "reverse culture shock" We'll talk about that tomorrow One thing to remember about culture shock is that people experience it in many different ways Each person adapts to new environments differently and each stage of culture shock can last for varying periods of time Before you travel to another country, it might be helpful to some research on culture shock so that you will be mentally prepared for the emotional and physical reactions that you may have As well, it may help you to understand the behavior of the other travelers around you Now, please open your book to chapter 13 and read the group questions entitled "Culture Shock Stages" Which of the following is NOT a symptom of culture shock: Feeling confused Feeling lost Being tired or unable to sleep Being surprised by the new culture The honeymoon period is characterized by feelings of: Acceptance and comfort Happiness and excitement Nervousness and fear Anger and frustration From the listening, what does "get on somebody's nerves" mean? To bother someone To excite someone To surprise someone To calm someone down During the integration stage the person will: Want to return home Begin to feel comfortable Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG Join the new culture Feel very uncomfortable When does reverse culture shock happen? When you arrive in the new culture When you live in another country for a long time During the integration stage After you return home Which is NOT true about culture shock: Culture shock is different for everyone The honeymoon stage usually lasts three months Some people don't have a honeymoon stage Culture shock is different from a cross-cultural surprise KEY: Being surprised by the new culture Happiness and excitement To bother someone Begin to feel comfortable After you return home The honeymoon stage usually lasts three months Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG BÀI 9: COMMON OBJECTS – IDIOMS The bedroom In the UK houses are described by how many bedrooms they have This house would be a bedroomed house The main bedroom is called the master bedroom, and if a bedroom has its own bathroom, it is called an ensuite The family bathroom In the UK the bath / shower and the loo are usually upstairs In a government poll 47% of Brits would prefer a bath, and 43% a shower Instead of a separate lounge / dining room / kitchen, you will often find the rooms have been knocked through to form one room This room would be described as a kitchen / diner The kitchen is considered the heart of the home Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG A cellar is a luxury in the UK They have to be well built and properly water proofed, because of the weather This room is being used as a pantry / storage area A laundry room is also a luxury Usually the washing machine is installed in the kitchen, along with the other white goods A garage is another luxury in the UK It adds value to any property, as the alternatives are off road parking, or on street parking Attic - Most houses in the UK have an attic Nowadays many people convert the dusty old space that used to be used to store suitcases and clutter into extra accommodation Perhaps an extra bedroom, or an office doorstep sky 10 laundry 11 front door Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG living room security light fence wall car kitchen roof Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 14 Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 12 Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 11 Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 18 Question 10 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question 11 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question 12 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 13 Question 13 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 16 Question 14 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: Question 15 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 17 Question 16 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 15 Question 17 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 10 Question 18 - Incorrect Actual Answer was: 12 tree 13 bathroom 14 lawn 15 bedroom 16 garage 17 drive 18 path English Names for Household Objects Here are some useful English collective nouns and words to describe containers and storage bunch = describing things that are fastened or which grow together: a bunch of flowers, keys, bananas, grapes set = a complete number: plates, forks, glasses, saucepans etc (Also: a boxed set / the complete set of CDs / DVDs, etc collection of CDs / DVDs basket = open container, often made of wicker (dried, plaited reed): a bread basket, laundry basket (to put dirty clothes while they are waiting to go into the washing machine), a wastepaper basket rack = something horizontal (either a pole or a shelf) supported at either end: a clothes rack, wine rack, shoe rack row = a number of things in a line: a row of hooks (for coats, etc) pile / stack = one on top of another: a pile of papers, books, magazines etc bowl = round pot made of glass, china or wood: fruit bowl, sugar bowl (or bowl of fruit) jar = glass container with a lid: coffee jar, jam jar, jar of pasta, etc Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG box = square container with a lid, made of cardboard: box of chocolates, cereal, etc tube = long and narrow, where the contents must be squeezed out: tube of toothpaste bar = flat and rectangular: bar of soap, chocolate roll = for paper: toiletpaper / loo paper, kitchen roll can = anything in a sealed metal tin: can of coke, can of baked beans, can of tuna tin = metal container: tin of cat food, tin of tuna pair = things that come in twos: a pair of socks, shoes, boots, sandals, trousers, shorts, etc Idioms and Sayings About Rooms Idiom/Saying Blood on the carpet Explanation For example: A lot of trouble in an organisation often resulting in someone losing their job "After the meeting there was blood on the carpet " To hit the ceiling For example: To become something very angry about "When her husband hears she crashed the car he'll hit the ceiling."
