wear
wear what the people there wear are not the same as us, either. In our own country, people are often sensitive to temperature. We change our clothes season by season. Usually we wear fewer in hot days, and more when cold. But in those countries, people seem like their skins are less sensitive. We can see in winter or some cool rainy days, a lot of people still wear singles.

Chinese dining culture:
1. People prefer to share the food together.

If one doesn’t take care his parents, he will get unimaginable social condemn.
Finally we have to make sure that most Englishspeaking countries don't have a Spring Festival. They instead celebrate Holloween, Easter and the most important-Christmas, which you must have heard before.
