Q&A with Lisa

Dear Ayumi,

Everything will be alright! I used to have the same thoughts as you but it turned out to be a different thing. I had joined a summer camp in the USA and I thought I couldn't make friends with other students. However, we just need a day to get to know each other and easily get along well. Therefore, you don't have to worry about that, just be nice to others and they will treat you the same way.

Dear Belle,

Thanks for your question. I have been particularly impressed by the culture of America, which values fairness and freedom. I have to say that it is impressive to see how Americans respect equality across all ages and genders, allowing everyone to freely express their opinions, think creatively, and speak their minds without any restrictions, even in the educational environment. That's my opinion about the typical American culture. I hope my sharing will be useful for your project. Good luck!

Dear Nghê Võ Phúc An,

Since my summer camp in the USA just lasted for a few weeks, I didn't know much about American customs and culture yet. But I have learned several things from my teacher (Ms.Megan). They are quite useful for me, so I hope it will be the same for you as well.

1) When attending a study or work environment or presentation, it's best to avoid using social media or electronic devices unless you need them for taking notes on reports.

2) When dining out and in need of a napkin, it's important to ask for a napkin instead of a tissue since the tissue refers to paper used for a runny nose, which could lead to confusion.

These are two pieces of advice I've received from Ms.Megan!
