1.Think about  the definition about Micro-identity and Macro-identity

Micro-identity: it refer to society level. Like nation identity and language identity

Micro-identity:  this identity is about personal identity, which means what personal look at themself.

2. Actually ,from my perspective , people have Micro-identity at first. As for me, i know i was a girl(N-identity）when I was a kid. And then，I accept I was a primary student.(I-identity)

As time goes by, we begin have Macro-identity. We divide people into mandarin and dialect. As a adult, I  communicate with colleague in mandarin  and talk with fellow-townsman in dialect.

In a word, Macro-identity is a societal level of identity. And Micro-identity focus on individual view.

I read on the Internet that foreign people like to have a separate meal for each person. When they come to China, they order a dish for each person, while Chinese people eat these dishes together

I think the difference between Chinese culture and western culture lies in the different cultural environment and religious belief, so people in different countries have different views

We can build the bonds across the globe, especially for the language education, negotiations in business, politics, society and more.

Question 4
1. As people growing up in a different cultural background, they will have different views on things.  In this way, people's values will collide in the process of communication, which is a normal phenomenon.  However, when we communicate with people from other countries, the topic usually starts from similar points, such as common hobbies and similar experiences, which can become the breakthrough to start the topic, so as to expand the topic to learn more about cultural customs, local customs and customs, and expand people's tolerance to differences.  It can be seen that intercultural communication can help people broaden their horizon, understand a different world, have more inclusive values and more knowledge.
2.  We can avoid misunderstanding. There are cultural taboos in some countries, which can be very troublesome if accidentally encountered.  Knowing in advance will avoid risk.
3. Intercultural communication can avoid some misunderstandings and conflicts.  For example, some gestures have positive meanings in some countries, but the same gestures in other countries may have negative meanings. If we don't know about them in advance, it will cause misunderstood. However, intercultural communication makes it possible to know this in advance, because humans can solve many problems through effective communication.

When we see it as a moment of intercultural communication, we can know that, everyone is different and would have different opinions, even though Ho Wen and her grandmother are in the same family, or Ho Wen and Steven are both have a interest in Japanese anime.
And on my opinion, by looking at it this way, we can comprehend that, we have our right to express and share our own perspectives, and that's great because we can accept something different, at the same time, we can also understand each other better.
If we could understand each other better and be more respective, we would avoid talking about something offensive, or we would  put down the stereotype and have a healthier relationship.

This will make the communicators more sensitive to the content of their conversation. Cross-cultural communication means that the communicators are more likely to have obvious differences from many aspects (like sexual orientation, religions, parties, and so on). If they are aware of differences, they can obtain more information and better understanding in each other through communication with a more humble and serious attitude. They can also avoid some taboo or sensitive topics about the other to avoid causing unhappiness to the communicator and find similarities between them for better further communication.

If we communicate with the mentality of equality and learning, the significance of intercultural communication is not only limited to mutual understanding, but also can bring positive significance of cultural funsion.

And we can accomplish the study of the specific culture and improve the cultural competitiveness. So the misunderstanding result from cultural conflict can be avoided.

I think it might simplified the actions so we can analyse and can easily find the commons points and differences between individuals.
Ho shares the same culture and family with her grandmother, but her grandmother still can't understand her. However Steven and Ho differs in many aspects and they still share the same interests. Those differs and commons are actually the keys to understand each other.

Different age, different countries, different gender will make us think differently.I think every time we talk to people who have different ideas from our own, it's a cross-cultural exchange, which allows us to better tolerate people who think differently and understand the same thing from a different standpoint.

The problem of comprehension in language communication not only exists in cross-cultural communication, but also in the language communication between people who speak the same language under the same cultural background. But it can be done in different ways, same hobbies, same culture. Culture is interlinked, just like the article, two people are through the same hobby cultural exchange.

I think if we see any given moment of communication as a moment of intercultural communication It can make us get to know eachother better and learn from each other by finding the similarity and difference between. Through that way, we might can find more Like-minded friends. We also can aviod a lot of things such as stereotype images.

I think it's cross-cultural when ideas collide.You can't think of cross-cultural communication as a specific time.This kind of special cultural conflict can make two different individuals understand the similarities and differences of both sides, and it is easier to understand each other through perspective-taking
