Cultural exchange is an important way to understand different countries and their people. It allows people to learn about the customs, traditions, and values of other cultures. One of the most effective ways of cultural exchange is through international travel.
When people travel to a foreign country, they can experience the local culture firsthand. They can taste the local food, visit historical sites, and interact with the local people. For example, when traveling to Japan, visitors can participate in a traditional tea ceremony, which is a unique part of Japanese culture. They can also visit ancient temples and shrines to learn about Japan's history and religion.
Another way of cultural exchange is through art and music. Different countries have their own unique art forms and musical styles. By欣赏artworks from other countries or listening to foreign music, people can gain a deeper understanding of different cultures. For instance, Chinese traditional music, with its unique melodies and rhythms, can convey the rich cultural heritage of China.

Language is an important part of culture. It reflects the values, beliefs, and way of life of a particular group of people. When learning a foreign language, it is not only about mastering the grammar and vocabulary but also understanding the culture behind it.
For example, in some cultures, the use of honorifics (敬语) is very important. In Japanese, there are different levels of politeness in language use. Using the wrong honorific can cause misunderstandings or show disrespect. In English - speaking countries, idiomatic expressions are widely used. Understanding these expressions can help people communicate more effectively.
Moreover, language can also influence the way people think. Different languages have different structures and ways of expressing ideas. This can lead to different ways of perceiving the world. For instance, the Inuit people in the Arctic have many words to describe snow, which reflects their close relationship with the snow - covered environment.

7. What should people do when learning a foreign language

B. Only understand the culture behind the language.

8. What can using the wrong honorific cause in Japanese

B. People will like you more.
C. It will have no effect.
D. It can make communication easier.
9. Why do the Inuit people have many words to describe snow
A. Because they like snow.
B. Because they want to show off their language.
