Cultures make any language vivid.

After every English literature class, I cannot stop comparing the difference between Chinese cultures and exotic cultures. It is interesting to find out the differences, but I got confused sometimes. What is Chinese tradition? Am I a traditional girl? Well, I do not know how to answer it. I do not like those disciplines so I am attracted by exotic cultures. If you ask me what Chinese culture is, I can tell you something about it because they are related to our daily life. I am sure that my grandparents are conservative, and they follow every rule. Whenever I visit them, my ma reminds me to avoid wearing black clothes, and my papa reminds me that it is impolite to reject them. Just accept whatever they give! Being shy and conservative is two of our cultures. Well, maybe. Moat of us are. However, I do not like to suppress my emotions. I am deeply attracted by those enthusiasm people. What is English to me? Is it a tool to communicate? Most Taiwanese may say “yes”, but I really enjoy the language, English, and learn more than words. Cultures make any language vivid.
