Since moving to China two months ago, the first big difference I've found is how people start the conversations. “The weather's nice today, isn't it?” is a common question to start a conversation in daily life in the UK.
As winter comes and it gets cold in China, I have kept starting my conversations by talking about the weather with my new friends and students. But it seems to be a strange subject in daily conversations.
In China, they ask questions like “Have you eaten yet?” I thought my friend was inviting me for lunch when I heard the question for the first time. Later I found how important food is in their culture and I understand why they ask that question often.
Although these two ways to start conversations may be different, they have something in common. They are about our daily life because we need to watch the weather and eat food every day. I'm not sure if I'll be able to break the habit of talking about the weather, but I think I will get used to talking more about food to break the ice!

二、阅读理解
自从两个月前搬到中国以来，我发现的第一个很大的不同之处是人们如何开启对话。“今天天气不错，不是吗？”在英国的日常生活中，这是一个开启对话的常见问题。
随着冬天来临，中国天气变冷，我一直通过和我的新朋友及学生谈论天气来开启对话。但在日常对话中，这似乎是一个奇怪的话题。
在中国，人们会问“你吃饭了吗？”这样的问题。我第一次听到这个问题时，以为我的朋友是在邀请我吃午饭。后来我发现食物在他们的文化中是多么重要，我也理解了他们为什么经常问那个问题。
尽管这两种开启对话的方式可能不同，但它们有一些共同之处。它们都与我们的日常生活有关，因为我们每天都需要关注天气和进食。我不确定我是否能改掉谈论天气的习惯，但我想我会习惯更多地谈论食物来打破僵局！
