Assignment 1
1. from this trip, i want to learn to be more independent, social and adaptable. firstly, i want to be independent is because i think by living myself and just with some friends is fresh as my family is not around with me. there will be nobody to wash clothes, cook for me and wake me up in the morning. secondly, being social is very important because it helps u to communicate better with those people you have never met or seen before. lastly, being adaptable makes you survive even if you are at country you have not go before. According to my relatives and my brother, i know that people in china like to cut queue, spit on the floor, speak loudly and when buying things, the price they gave can be bargained to around half of the price they quote.we can do that in places like beijing and shanghai. I don't know how is the life like in wuhan and the food they usually eat. i'm keen to know and find out more about the life in wuhan. My motive for learning these is to help in survive when i grow up in the social world and working life.

2.my focus is on 'culture' as i'm interested to find out more about the culture in china-wuhan because every country have different culture, for example, china is a big country with many capital. every capital have different culture too.
i have chosen this focus is because i feel that china is a country with many cultures and full of history.

3. QNS. 1) Is it true that people in china speaks loudly even when they are just communicating?
2) what are the kind of life china citizens are having?
3)Is it true that china's traffic is unsafe?
4)Is china filled with rubbish on the floor and people spits whenever and wherever they want?

ANS. 1) china people do speaks loudly when they communicate, they can even communicate from one end to another. they volume that they are going is equal to people screaming and shouting at each other in singapore.
2) i think that in china, money is the most important thing to them. example, they will do whatever they can to earn money. whenever foreigner goes shopping, they will bring they price up to they highest. people here usually eat a lot and they are usually spicy food.
3)the traffic in china is too messy as compared to singapore. there is no divider between the road to seperate the two different ways. driver tend to squeeze whenever there is space infront. they love horning too! i realise that their cars are VERY dirty! you can never see such dirty cars in singapore.
4)i think that everywhere is a rubbish bin on china. they will just throw thing on the floor. therefore, china is very dirty.

4. i want to have more patience, tolerance for discomfort and trust in other people.
firstly, i want to have more patience is because i think patience is very important. it helps you to control yourself better as you will not lose your temper so often.
sencondly, tolerance for discomfort also helps you to control your temper and adapt with life even if it is uncomfortable.
lastly, having trust in other people is how you get friends. if you don't even trust him in the first place, you will never make friend with him.

5. i would like to learn to be more indepent by living myself and do things myself without the help of my family members. to learn to be more socialable, i would like to interact with people whom i don't know more and make friends with them. i think that learning to be more adaptable is the hardest the to learn as we have to go to places we have not been to and not everybody can do that. by coming to china for 6 weeks is a way to learn that as i have not been to china before.
