【公众号】铁蛋英语【微博】铁蛋儿Tyler CONTEXTToday's lesson is a culture lesson about "personal space" or "elbow room". This topic is certainly a culture difference between China and America. So, I hope you enjoy and learn something from today's lesson.WHAT IS "PERSONAL SPACE" OR "ELBOW ROOM"?This is the space that is directly surrounding a person. Maybe we could say within 1-1.5meters of a person.CULTURE- This is an area that I see is frustrating for foreigners when coming to China and suprising for Chinese when they go to America.- Examples in China include: waiting in lines, eating in a cafeteria, eating in a small restaurant, and other small locations.HOMEWORK:- Do you have any funny stories about personal space or elbow room here in China or in America?- Did today's topic surprise you? Why or why not?Hope you guys enjoyed this lesson and I sincerely hope you learned something. Please share it with your friends and have a great day!- Ty
