正确答案:

When visiting foreign countries some people think that it is advantageous to learn their cultures and traditions. How do you think people can learn other cultures and traditions? Why do you think that some people are interested in learning those traditions and cultures while others are not? Give reasons for your opinion and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience

It is common to experience culture shock when visiting other countries with different traditions and customs, particularly for an extended period of time. Some visitors are interested in adapting to foreign cultures and effectively manage culture shock; some people are not. There are several reasons why we can better enjoy travelling with an open mind and develop an appreciation for cultural differences across the world .

As visitors in foreign lands, we are probably in for the feeling of disorientation, insecurity and anxiety in unfamiliar situations. altogether known as culture shock. This phenomenon is understandable because values, behaviors and social customs we routinely take for granted no longer serve us in different surroundings. Of course, it takes time to learn a 'do-as-Romans-do' attitude, but it is always advisable to keep an open mind. We ought not to give in to the temptation to isolate ourselves into the comfort of what is familiar. Perhaps, all we need is a little more patience to understand the new environment in its historical and social context. In all events, the right thing to do is to observe objectively, and not to judge automatically as if anything different is 'wrong' or 'negative'.

To better appreciate differences culture-wise, it is also important that we learn beforehand enough background information about a country we are ging to. In case we know close to nothing about that country, it means that we might have no interest in its culture, so why should we visit there in the first place? For visitors, a little bit of knowledge about a foreign culture tends to be misleading. But it doesn`t have to be that way. For instance, making an effort to learn the local language and social customs can increase communication skills and proper behaviors, both being of great help to demonstrate an interest in a different culture as well as integrating with the local community. In fact, before travelling it pays to learn something of many things about a foreign country's culture and tradition, ranging from the greetings to the clothing to the before-meal ceremonies.

Visiting a foreign country can be a rewarding experience if we are open-minded and knowledge-conscious toward any different culture. It seems necessary to reduce the negative impact of culture shock so that the entire visit would become pure fun. After all, when we come across a new environment, we don't expect to experience everything exactly like back home, do we?

案例分析题: 在一节语文公开课上,当我讲到“一千万万颗行星”这句话时,班上最调皮的赵强同学突然阴阳怪气地问到:“老师,‘万万’是什么意思?”惹得全班同学哄堂大笑。面对听课老师们关切的目光,我平静地说:“大家都知道‘万万’等于‘亿’,那么,这里为什么不用‘亿’而用‘万万’呢?”全班同学马上安静下来,开始认真思考,并且发表了自己的看法,大家讨论完后,我进行了分析和总结,最后我又问了一句:“请大家想想,今天这一‘额外’的收获是怎么来的呢?大家要感谢谁呢?请让我们用掌声表达对他的谢意!”大家把目光转向赵强同学,对他鼓起掌来,赵强不好意思地低下了头。 为了进一步了解赵强的情况,我决定进行家访。他知道后,立刻紧张起来,他特意找到我,叫我千万别向他爸妈告状。因为从前的老师经常告他状,事后他总免不了皮肉之苦,所以至今心有余悸。我安慰他:“不用担心,我只是想更多地了解你。”那天,我在他家,他因为害怕,躲在房间不敢出来,但不时探出头来想听我讲些什么。在他爸妈面前,我不但没有告他的状,反而夸奖他的进步。回到学校,他对我说:“老师,你真够朋友,以后瞧我的!”此后,我经常在课后找机会针对他学习中存在的问题进行辅导,还专门针对他的学习情况制定教学计划。赵强很努力,在各方面都有了进步,像变了个人似的。 问题: 请结合材料,从教师职业道德的角度,评析“我”的教育行为。
