 After participating in this assignment describe any impact positive or
negative on your openness and curiosity about cultures.
Here are some positive impacts on my openness and curiosity about cultures.
First, I have a deeper understanding of the different food around the world.
Moreover, I’m curious about the food practice in Italy, for it looks delicious and
charming. In addition, the introduction about cultural diversity let me explore
more about that.
 Which video resonated the most with you and why?
The video produced by Vincy’s group resonated most with me. In this video, two
group members participated in acting the roles. They aimed to show cultural
differences such as daily habit and time management. They show the idea like the
drama, which undoubtedly draw our attention and broaden our horizon. I do agree
that Chinese students have a different timetable with American students.
 Will your participation in this assignment forge a change in you?
Yes, definitely I have challenged myself. First if all, I was the presenter in my
group, and the content of the presentation was heavy and difficult. In order to
reduce my nervousness, I needed to practice hard. Thankfully, the presentation
succeeded in the end. After giving this presentation, I gain confidence and I dare
to give the presentation to the public with enough preparation. In addition, I’m
more than delighted that I can give the presentation without the script.
 Will you do anything differently or think differently?
To be honest, I used to be shy in giving the presentation. But this time, I’m sure
that I can overcome all the difficulties. Moreover, after cooperating with my
group members, I realize that the power of group participation. In addition,
during this class, I have seen that most of us show an interest in food around the
world. Majored in Marketing, maybe in the future, the international food will win
great popularity in the future. For this, I will pay more attention to the price of
international food and the successful sale plans around the world.
 What do you see as cultural similarities and cultural differences between
your peers in Wenzhou?
To start with, it is the dialects. My peers come from different provinces in China,
and they can say different dialects. Sometimes, you will be surprised some words
in different dialects pronounce at the same tone. Also, there are many cultural
differences among peers. One of the group members expresses that she cannot get
used to eating the food in the canteen, for it is different from her hometown.
Additionally, when it comes to taking the bath, some of them get used to bathing
in the bathhouse, which provides a high-temperature atmosphere in the winter
instead of the coldness in Wenzhou.
 How does any of the videos change your worldwide, if at all?
Yes. I’m proud of Chinese food and I used to hold the idea that nothing can
challenge the first place of Chinese food. But after seeing the video shared by
other groups, I realize that I’m totally wrong. The food in England or America
has its own charm. The food around the world has no rank or weakness. And all
of them are the second language stand for their own country.
 What do the Wenzhou Kean students videos reveal about them and their
worldview?
In the video, Wenzhou Kean students reveal their tolerance for cultural
differences. It is indispensable and valuable. Wenzhou Kean students are proud of
the cultural diversity and think highly of it. They treat every culture equally.
 Describe your worldview and vs. the students at Wenzhou’s worldview-how
are they different or similar?
Here are the differences. I think that the dialect in Wenzhou is so difficult to
understand. But the students at Wenzhou consider the Wenzhou dialect as their
second language.
Here are the similarities. I think the food in Wenzhou is delicious and I get used
to eating it like enjoying the meal in my hometown. And I love the constructions
in Wenzhou as they hole the same idea.
