Let's Learn about Cultural Differences

Hi! My name is Kim Minhee.

 

 I have been living in America for three years.

 

Since my family moved here, I have experienced many cultural differences between Korea and America.

 

I would like to share some of them with you.

 

Minhee: Look at this shirt. I like it.

 

 Linda: It looks nice. How much is it?

 

Minhee: It’s 19 dollars and 99 cents.

 

 

 

Linda: That’s not expensive.

 

Minhee: Yes, I agree. I want to buy it.

 

Clerk: That’ll be 21 dollars and 20 cents.

 

Minhee: Really? But the price tag says it’s only 19 dollars and 99 cents.

 

Here in America, in most states, people pay a tax when they buy goods.

 

It is called a sales tax.

 

Sales tax rates differ by state.

 

 They range from less than one percent to more than ten percent.

 

So when you buy goods in America, you usually need to pay more than the price on the tag.

 

Jessica: Hi, Mrs. Johnson! Minhee: Hello, Mrs. Johnson!

 

Mrs. Jognson: Hi, Jessica! Hi, Minhee! How are you?

 

Jessica: Fine, thank you. We are here for a burger. Enjoy your meal.

 

Mrs. Jognson: Thank you. You, too!

 

 

Minhee: Jessica, why did you wave to Mrs. Johnson?

 

In America, people often greet each other by waving.

 

Waving to an older person is not regarded as rude.

 

When you come to America, you may feel uncomfortable about it at first, but why don’t you try it?

 

You can wave to and smile at an elderly man walking on the street.

 

He may wave back.

 

Andy: Minhee, try this apple pie.

 

Minhee: No, thanks. I don’t want to.

 

Andy: Why not? Don’t you like apple pie?

 

Minhee: Yes.

Andy: Then, try some. It’s delicious.

 

Minhee: No. I just said I don’t like apple pie.

Andy: What?

 

Americans often ask negative questions, such as “Aren’t you coming?” and “Didn’t you go to the hospital?” 

 

It can be difficult to answer negative questions correctly.

 

Here is some advice.

 

In response to negative questions, such as “Don’t you like apple pie?” you should answer “No,” if you don’t like it.

 

And you should answer “Yes,” if you like it.

 

 

These answers are the same as the answers to positive questions, such as “Do you like apple pie?”

 

Do you like apple pie?

Yes, I do.

No, I don’t.

 

Don’t you like apple pie?

Like: Yes, I do

Don’t like: No, I don’t

Which cultural difference is most surprising to you?

 

I have been learning about cultural differences since I came to America.

 

Some surprised me at first, but now I am getting used to them.
