Cultural Differences

Examples:

-Shaking the head in a horizontal direction in most countries means "no", while in India it means "yes"

-In the UK, Irleand and Commonwealth countries, the word "compromise" has a positive meaning ( as a consent, an agreement where both parties win something) in the USA it may rather have negative connotations (as both parties lose something)

A new year has started



Hello everyone :)
The year has started we have a lot of things to do and I'm glad to be with all my classmates again :D
I think this year will be great, so let's make the most of it.
I hope we learn a lot and we improve our vocabulary and pronuntiation, so...

GET ON WITH IT!
