8、ns in food, clothing, recreation, and ceremonies; through the education system and institutions of learning, including museums and libraries; and through the arts, encompassing the visual, literary, and performing arts. as a result, we will talk about the differences from some aspects.first, i will
9、mention the addressing. in china, we will put the family names before our given names, and then in order to express our politeness, we would like to add “sir” or “lady” or their title after the name. on contrast, in america, people would like to put their family names after their given names and fir
10、st names and they will put mr., mrs., miss, ms, dr. or prof. before their names. it is foremost and first for us to know these differences so that we wont make misunderstandings.and then we will talk about time conceptions. in america, their living beat is quite fast, so they consider time is quite

15、sons and wont be divided into several helps. while in america, they would use forks and knives for their meals. every person has his own dishes and they wont share one dish together. they think this is quite hygienic and they will enjoy their meals comfortably. however, what they eat is not so healt
16、hy, because they would like to eat a lot of meat and something with high calorie. maybe it is good for them to obtain more fibers and keep a healthy body.finally, i would like to mention something about the difference in marriage. besides the ceremony for marriage has obvious difference-americans wi
