Lesson 2 Experience Different Cultures!
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.
