Homework#2


1.Death and Funerals:

a. Do you have any international friends or a host family?
If so, how would you express your condolences to them if a family member died?
If not, then how would you express consolences to an American host family if their Grandmother died?

I have some international freinds.

No, I have never.

I don't think that Japanese desiner label crazy.
It is so important to wear tidy clothes.
Good appearance make a good impression on a person.

I guess it means "Don't be deceived by appearances."

I think that it is hard to express feelings of sorrow even in your native language. When I went to a foreign funeral, I had no idea what to say so I just kept quiet.

And I agree with you. It's important to wear nice clothes.

Sometimes saying nothing is also rude! Always check with a native person as to what to do in certain cultural situations. Good work, again simple answers. You can do better.
