Let's Learn about Cultural Differences
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?”
| Like | Don’t like | |
| Do you like apple pie? | Yes, I do | No, I don’t |
| Like | Don’t like | |
| Don’t you like apple pie? | Yes, I do | 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.
