Có thể giúp mik đc k ạ!!Huhu
In the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness．Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively．He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time，On the other hand．the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes．
In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour．In contrast, in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour．Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time．In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12：00；many remained past 12：30 to discuss the class and ask more questions．While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.
The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time. In fact , Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States lateness is usually disrespectful and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North American, the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry.
As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him. Instead, they were simply behaving in the appropriate way for a Brazilian student in Brazil. Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior so that he could feel comfortable in the new culture.

of Brazilian and American students.
4. In an American university, it is important to be

If you would like to go to a beautiful, faraway place, you should choose the Hawaiian Islands. Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, in 1959 the islands became the 50th state of the U.S. Of all the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai is the best place for vacation as it is called a tropical paradise. With increasing tourist attraction, its population is getting higher especially in hot seasons. Because thick green rainforests cover the island, the air makes your skin soft and smooth. There is little air pollution here, and no stress. The beaches of Kauai are large part of its beauty; they are all lovely clean white sands. If you want to meet colourful undersea creatures, you will have to take a short course for diving. You need an enrolment to get training from professional divers. They also make wide explanations for the characteristics of the ocean. As soon as you make up your mind, reserve your place, buy your ticket and say goodbye to your stressful city!
