My name is Minh Anh, and I am currently living in Ho Chi Minh City. One thing I like about British culture is tea culture. I think it's a time when people can chat with their friends, build relationships and gain a sense of relaxation after hard - working mornings. Moreover, with some cup of teas and snacks such as sandwiches, scones, and pastries, people can boost their mood and pay more concentration on their studies or working, which makes them more productive. The root cause why I chose English Language is I like learning different aspects of Englich, involving grammar, pronunciation and culture. Furthermore, this course may be beneficial for my future job as I want to pursuit in teaching field.

Hello! My name is Nguyễn Thị Phương Châu, a dedicated Chinese language teacher. I am living in District 8, Ho Chi Minh City. One of the aspects I admire most about the work culture in the UK and the US is their approach to working hours. Unlike my workplace in Vietnam, where we are often expected to be available 24/7, the UK and US emphasize a clearer distinction between work and personal time. In the UK, there is a strong tradition of maintaining work-life balance, with regular working hours and ample holidays. Similarly, in the US, despite the intense work pace, there is a growing awareness of the importance of personal time and mental health. This structured approach to working hours not only enhances productivity but also promotes a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

Hello teacher, I want to introduce a little bit about myself. My name is Thư. I’m 25 years old. I’m currently an office worker. I like to study English, so this is reason why I apply to learn English language. Besides, my favorite is watching movies and listening to music. Therefore, I am interested in learning American British culture to understand every situation in movies. That’s all. Thank you!

Good evening Ms Chi. My name is Vo Diem Phuc. I am currently living in Thuan An City, Binh Duong Province. In my point of view, the good thing I like about American culture is that they have a very polite and romantic way to greet everyone like 'Hi, how are you?', 'How are you doing?', 'Have a nice day!', ‘How’s it going?’, ‘You look gorgeous today!’. I find it very cute to greet people like that because we don’t usually say that in Viet Nam. Vietnamese people, especially people in the family clan, usually greet the younger people by asking impolite questions, which I feel very unpleasant to answer.

My name is Vi Nguyen, currently I am living in Ho Chi Minh City, my job is procurement and contracting manager at a Social Enterprise. My company is an NGO, and our field of work specializes in healthcare, specifically in preventing and treating HIV & TB diseases. The thing I like most about British culture is the polite manners. British people are known for their impeccable manners. You'll often hear them say "sorry" even when it's not their fault. They have an innate ability to queue perfectly, always say "please" and "thank you," and rarely raise their voice in public. Whether it's forming orderly queues, saying "excuse me," or expressing gratitude, politeness is deeply ingrained. That is the thing I love.

Good evening, My name is Pham Ngoc Thanh An. I am working in the retail service industry and have experienced four companies. I have worked with bosses from Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and France. So I learned and had the opportunity to interact a lot with them. I have clearly seen the different working styles of each boss and I feel the most pressure on is the French boss, but I have learned a lot (as analysis on report...) from this boss. They worked so hard and always asked daily, weekly report even in the weekend also. With HongKong boss was easier more than French boss, I learned this boss many things especially focus customer service. With me, I was closing with my Malaysia boss, because he was my 1st boss, he taught me a lot when I was young. Finally, I have the opportunity to experience working in good environments. And that's what motivated me to come to the English language industry as it is now.

Hi, my name is Phuong Tram, and I’m twenty-two years old. I am living in Ho Chi Minh City. I'm working as an HR admin at a medical company. According to my understanding, the dominant British culture is to drink afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is one of the typical cultural features of the people of the Land of Mist. Afternoon tea time is usually after 4:00 PM, everyone can relax together, chat, and discuss work. Furthermore, they also have other enjoyable cultures that I find interesting, such as the culture of art appreciation. British people are fond of classical art forms, especially plays, concerts, and opera. The West End stage is where most performing arts shows in the UK take place. Similarly, modern themes and cinema are also extremely developed in this country.

My name is Mang Nguyen Minh Ngoc. I am working as QA assistant manager for a Hongkong garment company. I have opportunities to work with many foreigners from different countries. In my view, I like working with Americans more than Asian people. First, American people always focus on the working results rather than on the working process. Moreover, Asian managers often like hard-working styles such as overtime working, early starting work, while American managers are interested in smart working style, for instance, new or innovative ideas or creative in working. Last but not least, American companies in general have a clear KPI for salary or incentives; contractually, Asian companies rarely have an official performance assessment.

My name is Nguyễn Kim Bằng. I'm currently a student studying offline at Ben tre college and online at Hoa sen university . I live in Ben Tre city. But if i were to live abroad. I’d probably enjoy living near the ocean or in a bustling city.

Regarding cultural preferences, both British and American cultures have their unique charms. In British culture, I appreciate the rich history, tea-drinking traditions, and dry humor. In American culture, I admire the diversity, entrepreneurial spirit, and love for innovation. Personally i like British culture more because it is a fascinating blend of traditions from four distinct countries: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland

Hi ! My name is Phạm Thị Kim Hiền and now I live in Binh Duong province. I'm work in the kindergarten school. My work start from 6 am to 5 pm but sometimes it from 6 am to 10 pm. This is a reason why I wanna study a new certicate degree to change a new job fit with my time than old job. If my vocabularies, grammar not good I sorry for that. One thing I like about US culture is critical thinking. From an early age, American children are encouraged to come up with answers, creative ideas, and new ways of doing homework without being constrained by a traditional framework, which is special to American culture. From there, they will find their own strengths and develop better.

My name is Tran Thi Yen Nhi, I'm 25 years old, I live in Cu Chi, currently I work as a receptionist for a small hotel. I like American culture because of its creativity and innovation in art and entertainment. America is the home of Hollywood and Broadway, where blockbuster movies and top musicals are produced. Reading culture develops with many famous authors. In addition, America is also the cradle of many music trends such as jazz, rock, hip-hop and country, bringing diverse sounds.

Hello everyone, my name's Nhi. I'm from Dong Thap province and now I live in HCM city. I work as a purchasing staff. I study British and American Culture because it help me understand the working way of my foreigner suppliers in Western. One of the most culture I like in there is focus about work-life balance. For example, employees in West usually finish the working day on time and not have to work overtime after coming back home. Unlike culture in East, people are quite afraid to finish the work on time and waiting their boss or other colleage leave first.

Hi, my name is Trang. Currently, I live with my family in Ho Chi Minh City. I'm working for a publisher which has head office in Boston, USA. I traveled to both America and England and I love the culture and people from those countries. America has mix and diverse culture because there many people from many countries come to live there. My favorite American food are steak and hamburger. In contrast, England is a very special with a long history and traditions. The country's long-standing heritage is evident in its architecture, customs, creating a unique atmosphere.

My name is Nguyen Thu Thao, and I live in Vung Tau city. I am currently working in the primary school. I enjoy the American and British culture course because it allows me to gain more knowledge about their rich and diverse cultures. For example, I can understand their work culture better, such as how Americans prefer emails over personal contact for efficiency and clarity. Additionally, learning about British traditions and customs helps me appreciate their history and social etiquette. This knowledge not only enriches my personal understanding but also enhances my teaching, enabling me to share these insights with my students.

Hello, my name is Canh Ha. I work as a CSR staff at Korea garment company. I live in Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City. One thing I really like about British culture is their politeness and tradition of afternoon tea, which shows a slower pace of life. British people value respect and manners, which is similar to Korean culture. However, in Korea, there is a strong emphasis on community and hierarchy, especially in the workplace. While British culture enjoys individualism and historical preservation, Korean culture focuses more on modern advancements and collective harmony. Both cultures have unique qualities that I appreciate.

Nguyễn Việt Quốc

My name is Nguyen Viet Quoc and I'm living in Thu Duc. I have joined this course to improve my English. I have studied English for many years, but I have not used it at work for nearly 20 years. That's why I don't speak or listen well. Participating in this course, I learn more skils such as listening - speaking - reading - writing and especially about British and American culture. One of the things I love about British culture is the way they communicate. When they talk to others people, they are always polite and humble. They don't talk or discuss too loudly. At cafes or restaurants, they only speak at a moderate volume, without causing uncomfort to the people around them. Meanwhile, many Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean... people have the habit of speaking too loudly in public places. I also had that habit before, however, after learning about British's communication culture, I've improved my communication skills.

Nguyễn Đinh Hạ Giang

2024-07-10 13:53:31 UTC

My name is Ha Giang, and I live in Ho Chi Minh City. I've always been interested in English and languages in general, so I picked this major.

One thing I find really interesting about American and British culture is how their family structures work. In Asia, roles within the family are clearly defined, and respect for elders is the rule younger family members have to follow. In American and British culture, on the other hand, parents and children tend to live more independently. Family bonds are valued, but personal development and freedom are prioritized more. Unlike many Asian families, extended family members in the West keep separate homes and lives. They only have family get-togethers on holidays or special events.

Good evening, hope you have a good day. My full name is Ha Vu Thao Nguyen. My hometown is Ho Chi Minh city. I don’t know why I follow this course. Maybe, I saw a cosmic signal and I resisted somehow. But in deeper, I understand that knowing a different language could open any door. Iam a nutritionist and dietician. I work at a hospital in the department of nutrition. I don’t have a chance to exchange other cultures from other nations. Since I work in a tradition work, I understand so well the “indirect” workplace culture and the old style which I can call “Generation difference” at my official. In the subject" British and American Culutre", I can open my mind a lot. In American culture, they away direct their order, on time. Also, they are encouraged to take initiative, show their skills and personal goals. They will not only accept the uniqueness that you have but also you can make your decision and take ownership of work. Another thing I like about is work life balance and work ethic. They work on time and don’t overwork after coming back home. The American work ethic often encourages individuals to invest significant time and effort into their careers. It can call “work hard, play hard” that is deeply ingrained in the American work ethic.
