Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of fru

10、stration and stress. On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness. Many immigrants open their own re

11、staurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not on

12、ly sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes to the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes. We

13、 should embrace our heritage(传统) through our cultures food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture

17、 may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until

18、 there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countrieslike the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or

19、 cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After gett

20、ing to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, Eng

21、lish and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and

How to Build Up a Relationship DEnglish is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants (移民) coming into the Uni
