The culture differences between the East and West.

As we know ,there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects.I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching your better understanding ,I will set examples of China and America.

It is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for people in America prefer to forks and different result is based on different food they are like icans choose to eat beefsteak,bread,and salad,while Chinese people choose noodles ,pancakes and is more,the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out ver,there is a trend that the food in both countries has been example,the coffee and bread have introduced to famous KFC is very popular at children.

The gap of teaching system between China and America is ese students always complain about their much homework has limited the time to exercise and have to recite many things as to get a high work comes the first to them.

In my opinion,the study in America is more interesting hers pay attentions to training students skills in thinking in realastic life not to emphasis on the importances of a addition,the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and the job of gruduates are quite different,too.I should say that Chima government should make great efforts to improve its teaching syetem.I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheers to our country.

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.

The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.

Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always "public" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.

People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!
