5.In my perspective,the best way to accomplish any goal is to start doing immediately,other than that it’s definitely not the right answer.(Sorry i didn’t quite understand this question)

4.China is a really big country geographically speaking,we face lots of natural disaster than most countries.And the eager for developing faster caused some serious problems with nature,now we are trying our best to find the balance between human and nature.With things I witnessed,I don’t think we can gain any thing out of fighting nature.

3.Chinese people tend to be more shy comparing to other people in different area, so normally we need more space when we face people that aren’t very close to us.For family or our closest friends ,that’s a whole different story.

2. I can’t say for sure how my culture is about this question,cause I feel it’s a question based on people’s different lifestyle.For me,I don’t see anything wrong in doing one thing once a time or try to finish several tasks in a period of time.And our education system didn’t have a purpose to rise us in a certain way.

1.I will just use the example we had in class,if we Chinese people simply tell our boss or superior that she/he is wrong,there’s a big chance we will be fired.Because saying things like that doesn’t show your honesty ,it’s just a fact that you have no idea how to respect the others.Maybe people from other culture background find it hard to understand,but i have to say this is actually a pretty good way to express yourself  and avoid hurting people’s feeling. Now i live in a high context country,I feel like there’s no harm being straight forward a little bit.
