Communication IIFriendship is universal.There are qualities we all like in friends and things all of us would do for our friends.However,definitions and views of friendship differ from culture to culture.11.FriendshipWatch this clip from The Joy Luck Club喜福会喜福会Amy Tan reserved-to be calm,not show emotionClip I:1.Does this seem like a party that might take place in China?How is the gathering

between June and her“aunties?”12.FriendshipClip IIIs this gathering more“Chinese?”Why or why not?What do you think of the friendship between Waverly and Jane?Does it make sense to you that Waverly would treat June this way?Does it make sense to you that they would remain friends?What do you think binds them together?Do you think a Chinese mother would really act as Junes mother does?13.Expressions of Gratitude and ApologyThe expressions are far more frequently used in English than in Chinese.Especially among friends family,the Chinese often think expressions of gratitude and apology unnecessary.Particularly for minor favors such as borrowing a pencil,asking directions,ect or minor problems.In the west,this can be considered rude.Westerners always say,“please”and“thank you”Not saying Thank you can make you seem rude.-send thank you e-mails or texts after job interviews,parties,gifts,someone opens the door for you,ect14.Expressions of Gratitude&ResponsesThank

often feel uncomfortable doing so and are often not allowed.-Dont want to feel like they have to do something special for the employee who gave them a gift-Dont want other employees to think they have a favorite-They may find it difficult to criticize that employees work after getting a gift.-Some places of work have rules against it.17Gift GivingWhen is it appropriate to give a gift in China?Friends,sociallyWorkOtherWegivegiftstoshowaffection/gratitudeWegivegiftstoshowaffection/gratitudeSothattheyoweusthings/giveusthingsSothattheyoweusthings/giveusthingsWhat types of gifts do you give?Who do you give gifts to?18.ComplimentsLike in China,it can be strange for American man to compliment a woman on her appearance or clothing.Americans offer compliments more than Chinese people do.It can be a natural part of a conversation.Generally speaking,native English speakers tend to accept the compliments while the Chinese tend to efface themselves in words although they do feel comfortable about the compliments.(Although Americans/English speakers can efface themselves as well.Self-efface means to make insignificant 19.ComplimentsWhat is a compliment?Saying something of praise or admirationCompliments serve a social function.Compliments create social bonds and bring people together.Solidary1.Greetings“How are you?You look great!2.Start a conversation3.Make people feel comfortable 4.Soften criticism“You did a really good job on this,but.”5.Offer appreciation “Thanks for the birthday present.Its so beautiful and was exactly what I wanted.”20.ComplimentsTypical formulasAmerican English A:This is really a nice sweater.B:Im glad you like it.A:You did a good job.B:Thank you/Thanks.Chinese:A:Your sweater is very good.B:I bought it only for ten yuan.A:You did the job very well.B:Thats the result of joint efforts./Theres still much room for improvement.21.ComplimentsA foreign visitor was looking at her Chinese hosts pots flowers with obvious admiration.The plants were beautiful.The host remarked,“Growing flowers is my hobby,but Im not much good at it.”A Canadian asked a Chinese art professor to look at a paper she had written about Chinese paintings.He agreed,but added,“I really know nothing about the subject.”What is strange about these interactions?Sometimes showing modesty can be seen as“fishing for compliments.”22.ComplimentsThank you.I enjoy growing flowers.Ive seen a lot of great plants I am an amateur/still have a lot to learn,but Im enjoying it.Thank you.I would love to help you!I dont know everything,but I will try my best.23.
