Are you ready? Come on then.

So, guys, where are these people going?

Well, thanks. But what problems can all of them face there?

That’s right! And what do people call all of these problems?

What do they feel arriving in different country?

Sure ! What is the theme of our lesson?

Yes, you are right!

So, today we are going to discuss the problem of a “culture shock” that a traveler has got when travelling abroad or visiting another city or another family.

So, what is culture shock?

Nice, well done!

Now, try to guess what we’ll do in class?

Excellent! Also we are going to read and listen to people who travelled abroad and experienced different problems there. Of course, you’ll try to give advice how to cope with such problems and avoid culture shock. You have to hear information you need to discuss the problem of a culture shock and answer the question “ Is culture shock rewarding or challenging?”

Are you ready to start?

So I would like you to make up small dialogues.

Look at the screen. You see the table. Please ask questions or say remarks to illustrate the possible and impossible topics for small talks in pairs.

People can struggle to get used to the weather.

Imagine we are on board a plane, we are flying over the Pacific ocean to Wellington (the capital of New Zealand).

We are in a café, watching one of the most surprising traditions.

……..

What are all these people doing?

What does this dance mean?

Why is it so aggressive and emotional?

Are you shocked? Me too! Why? Because we didn’t know that Haka-dance is a traditional wedding Maory tribe dance. People want a new couple to be happy for all their family life. Do you understand this tradition now?
