Characters:

Emily – a student from the U.S.

Kenji – a student from Japan, new to the school.

Scenario:
In a group project, Emily notices that Kenji rarely speaks up or shares his opinions during discussions. She thinks he doesn’t care about the project or isn't interested in helping.

But in Kenji’s culture, it’s polite to listen carefully, not interrupt others, and wait until invited to speak. He’s trying to be respectful, not silent.

As a result, Emily feels frustrated, and Kenji feels left out — even though both students want to do well. How do you avoid this siuation? Please answer me the sentence pattern: It is important that S+V because S+V

Situation:
Ms. Lee attends a job interview in New York. Throughout the conversation, she answers questions politely, avoids direct eye contact, and looks slightly downward — a gesture of respect in her culture. She listens carefully and responds thoughtfully.

Mr. Johnson, however, notices her lack of eye contact and interprets it as a lack of confidence or honesty. After the interview, he comments to the HR team:

“She seemed shy and unsure of herself — she couldn’t even look me in the eye.”

As a result, Ms. Lee doesn’t get the job - not because of her qualifications, but because her cultural behavior was misunderstood. How do you avoid this situation in the future? Please answer me the sentence pattern: It is important that S+V because S+V?
