Brief Introduction
• There are many cultures all
over the world, and every
country has his own culture.
So when you get to different
countries ,you can experience
different cultures. Then I take
a example of Chinese culture
and English culture.
Culture Experience
• Two cultures: Chinese culture and
English culture
• Different experiences in weekend
• When I came to England, I found that
people liked joining the party and
drinking beer to spend their weekend.
Dissimilar with English, Chinese people
liked spending their weekend on
shopping and getting together with
families. Therefore I had come across
different cultures of two different
countries

• Personal point: I choose this two definitions because I
think “ culture ” is generally composed of actions from
individual activities and social group activities .The
development of culture is a long-term progress , and it
always keeps a continual changing. It involves not only that
from individuals ,but also the society. Actually the final result
of culture is a stimulating influence among divers elements.
Meaning stands for
social influence:
Meaning stands for
individuals:
a particular civilization at a
particular period
the attitudes, feelings, values,
and behavior that characterize
and inform society as a whole
or any social group within it

In the town
where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told
us of his life
In the land
of submarines
So we sailed
up to the sun
Till we found
the sea of green
And we lived
beneath the waves
In our yellow
submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
yellow submarine
And our friends are all on board
Many more of them
live next door
And the band
begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
yellow submarine
As we live
a life of ease
Everyone of us
has all we need
Sky of blue
and sea of green
