CULTURAL SHOCK
Many people dream of living in a foreign country. It can be an amazing (1)	for those who
have the courage to leave their family and friends and settle down in a new place. However, there's one potential problem you should be (2)	of: cultural shock. Cultural shock is the feeling we get
from living in a place that is so different to where we grew up that we are not sure how to deal with it. Societies are organised in many different ways, and we can often be taken (3)	by some of
the things we find in foreign countries. Customs and traditions can be very different and that can sometimes make it difficult to get on with local people and to make friends. They might not approve of things you do or might object (4) ...things you say. You might even be banned from doing things in another country that are perfectly legal in your own. (5)	you were to move to a
country such as Singapore, say, you might find some of the laws very strict. There, people can be forced to pay a large (6)	just for dropping litter. Eventually, though, most people who live abroad
fall in love with their adopted country and learn to accept its differences. It does (7)	real
courage to make such a big change to your life, but many people agree (8)	it is worth it in
the end.
Exercise 2:
Read the passage then choose the best answer:
Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the
more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country.
Books and talks about other people's culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information is untrue.
In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, village inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interests of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype - that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be!
