Trying to observe and understand culture is like trying to observe and understand an iceberg. Anyone who is either looking for a job or starting out a new job will require some time to figure out the expectations, culture, and customs of any or prospective workplace.
Task 1:
Look up the meanings of the vocabulary words below.
Aggressive equality rituals
Annoyed minimize task
Collaborative oblivious valuable
Customs promptness values
Embarrassment
Task 2:
Use at least five of these vocabulary words to write an email to a friend describing to him/her the Canadian culture.
Dear Sandra:
It's been a very long time since I talked with you. How is your son? I hope he is getting better. I have a lot of tasks to do that keep me busy all the time. Yesterday, the daycare teacher told me that a boy used his toy to knock on my son's face. He was crying and his nose was bleeding that made me so sad. I heard that this boy had always been very aggressive. The teacher said she would talk to his parents because this behaviour was not acceptable: so, what can I do then? He is only a 3-year-old boy. However, I felt very annoyed; even though the teacher ensured that they would be more careful to minimize the possibilities of this event occurring again. Then, another friend said something that made me feel better. "This is very normal in the school," she said, "it is heartbroken event that your son became the victim this time, but you will feel embarrassed when another boy becomes the victim of yours."
cheers
Monique
