Describing my personal culture

In my personal opinion culture is the aspect that define each country with their costums,traditions, behaviors  that the people do each single day according to the values that we learned since we were a child . For example -each person has different aspects or characteristics that we usually develop when we interact with the society like when a person makes you a favor, I say thank you and I am glad to this person made me a favor.
- Otherwise, I have to be happy but some days is hard because we are not the same all days, because maybe you are stressful or have problems or busy or worried but I try to put evrything in God´s hands and i trust on him that he show me the right way.
-Also according to the responsability I am honest sometimes I did my posts late or maybe I didn´t read well the instructions sorry teacher I swear I didn´t with any purpose eventhough is not a justification but I did my post in my work so I have to do it fast because the last time the girl of human reources scolded me for comments about the company then I have to do them without them seeing me and Monday and Wednesday at night I have Portugues´s classes and Tuesday and sometimes Thursday I go to " Zumba" and Friday i am very tired and I just wish to sleep. I am sorry.. I regret that you were angry about the post.
-Finally in my personal life we have different behaviors because you are different when you are interacting with your family friends, boyfriend, classmates or co-wokers but I try to be the same Gaby in all aspects I love laugh and smile and when someone needs my help I would try to do my best effort.

Last Post..

I feel that I could have done job with this post, since I posted it late some of my homeworks eventhough I change it, if I did something wrong for example in one that I don´t read as well the instructions so then I have to correct it because I answered the questions but I had to make a paragraph chosing four of them. However I claarify the order of the homeworks for example :Number one I did but i guess lately I am honest then i had to make some changes at the end it was good.number two I had to explained better some aspects in order to clarify my answers.third one I did in just one post because i mentioned the values and behaviors and then my own personal culture experience together, then I have made some changes but at the it was nice.number four I didn´t reas the instructions well so i had to make the post again jajaja. number five culture schock the teacher said it was nice and comic also and this is the last one. I learned a lot things with you, I enjoyed the classes, it were so funny with my classmates´s jokes and also the teacher. I have an observation I ´ve never been a teacher´s house to spy I saw his cats on his pictures´s blog. I hope to continue with AP1 and AP2 and finish with the advanced program. I wish that the whole class are with me in the next course. Thanks for everything.. Take care...♥ :*

Culture shock

Culture shock is the difficulty people have adjusting to a new culture that differs markledy from their own. I had an experience when I was 10 years old I traveled to U.S.A. and I had to take the order in a restaurant because my father was not with us, so I ordered waht I wanted to breakfast and my mom, sister either.But I didn´t like what I tried so at the end, I had to pay, I put some money nin my hand and the cashier took the money, because I didn´t know pay after that she gave me the change.In my point of view if you have to deal in culture schock you  have to learn the language or  just a few words to say daily and common things, then study about the country some important aspects that you have to know for example things that you don´t have to do or something like that. another one is to take advice to take the bus or the train to travel to the place where you go.I think if you are patience is better because you take into account importatn aspects like if you are lost then other characteristics like be gentle or friendly help you to the other people treat as well as you expect.

SeCoNd HoMeWoRk!!

Culture: is the way in whcih human beings have their behavior, believes, values, customs and traditions and depens on each society, if it changes or not.

Values                                                  Behavior
*Love                                                  *Hungry
*Faith                                                  *Angry
*Respect                                             *Arrogant
*Courtesy                                           *Shy
*Loyalty                                             *Friendly      
*Humility                                            *Lazy
*Kindness                                          *Liar
*Sincerity
*Cooperation

In my personal opinion I have to adapt to different cultures because  people in the same country have different behaviors or costums than us so I have to adapt for example in my work, my co-wokers have different believes or tradition to do the things; evethough at the beginning it was wire but nowadys is normal for me.

First Homework

1. Culture will be used in the sense of whatever a person must have in order to function and live in a particular society. The importance of culture in studying language is when we try to adapt the pronunciation, the rhytm, the intonation, the way that thye dress and some different aspects that we have to take into account, when we are learning other language.
2.The most interesting aspects for foreign people are first of all, the way that we treat them, the nature, flora nad fauna, our customs, food, clothing and among others.
3.The most challenging aspects are learn spanish, adapt some different traditions that are so common for us like pray before to eat and some others.
4 .Best= Clothing and language. Least=problems between America and Iran and other countries.
5. Best=our nature,our country. Least=our law, thieves, criminals and people who don´t know honesty, loyalty and respect , very important values for me.
6. The law, because this law and some judges are causing a mess in our streets, because a criminal commits a crime and lack of evidence so left out and then do it the same, so that´s why we can´t do anything about this problems because the criminals are making a party with us.
