How culture changes over time

 Lilia's Youth

Cater: Soooo... Hey Lilia, Can I ask you something?

Lilia: Ehe, go ahead.

Cater: What is your best youth memory? I mean, you're still young but you know about so many things.

Lilia: Hmm... Let me see. Well, I'm always good at babysitting, so I can always remeber when I was caring a child, he was always respectful and never said 'no' to an adult like me. 

Cater: Really? Don't tell me (I think he is making me a prank)

Lilia: Yep, just like I said. And teens were more responsible than now. Did you know that teens before nowdays, were the best at school and never get distracted? Because in those days, cellphones and internet didn't exist, so they can do a lot of things in their free time.

Cater: ... Yeeeahhh... Sure. 

Lilia: I miss those days when I see babys faces full of joy, remembering it makes me feel like a father again. Somehow, children nowdays have interesting and good things too.  I still feeling the same, I can always repeat my babysitting era again and again and never get tired of it, learning about new geenerations, but somehow I'm still old-fashioned, don't you think? Ehe

Cater: Lilia.. I know you like telling jokes to people, but this seem like you really lived in that era. 

Lilia: Well, yeah, my story happened so long ago, maybe about a century ago but it doesn't mean that I couldn't remember it all of the details.

Cater: (Wait...Really, how truly old is Lilia?)

 Cultural Awareness

In the world there's different countries and cultures that we didn't even aware of, that's why we make a lot of mistakes when we travel around the world to a different place. For that, we have to learn how to RESPECT other cultures and be more informed about countries and people. 

We have some actions that can help us to get better(or get worse ) at our cultural awareness and manners:

Etiquette: Rules for polite behavior in society or in a particular group.

Cultural literacy: Knowing about and respecting the culture of others.

Table manners: Rules for polite behavior when eating with other people.

Punctuality: The habit of being on time.

Impolite: Not polite, rude.

Offensive: Extremely rude or impolite.

Customary: Usual or traditional in a particular culture.

Taboo: Not allowed because of very strong cultural or religious rules.

Examples: 

• Heartslabyul dorm loves the ETIQUETTE at tea parties.

• Rook always try to improve his CULTURAL LITERACY with his classmates, so he can admire the beautifulness in every difference between each culture.

• Usagi doesn't know about TABLE MANNERS.

• In Japan, PUNCTUALITY is highly respected, so Kiku is very PUNCTUAL.

• Arthur and Francis are very IMPOLITE each other.

• Muslim people think that use a Mahoma image is OFFENSIVE.

• In Switzerland is CUSTOMARY to eat fondue at "Friends day".

• Jewish people consider TABOO eat pork.

Practice Exercise #2

 Topics: Describe a busy schedule, Past perfect, Time expressions, Intensifiers.

For this section I will make a review of the topics learned through on a exercise using all the structures, vocabulary and more to show my improvement at these topics.

Intensifiers

 Sub-topics: Describe a busy schedule.

Intensifiers are adverbs or adverbial phrases that make adjectives have stronger meaning of expressions and show emphasis.

Intensifiers can be more or less based on a scale:

Low                                                                                 High

  Pretty    ➻❥    So   ➻❥   Really    ➻❥   Incredibly   ➻❥   Unbelievably

Examples: 

• Usagi is PRETTY hungry.

• Nanami is SO tired.

• Sailor moon and rei are REALLY angry.

• Chun Li is INCREDIBLY happy.

• Luci is UNBELIEVABLY busy.

We can use intensifiers to DESCRIBE A BUSY SCHEDULE in a better way.

There are more intensifiers for a lot of different situations, so we have a lot of combinations with sentences and expressions using intensifiers!

Describe a Busy Schedule

Sub-topics: Past Perfect (Grammar), Past participle (verbs), Time expressions.

Busy people ALWAYS have a lot of things to do all day, especially when others add more things to do... For that reason, most people have a schedule to help themselves to put a little more order along their day.

For example, I'm going to describe the agenda of Sebastian Michaelis, a victorian butler:

All the actions were realized in one day, as you can see the grammar is in present, but what if it's now 8:00 PM? So, we are going to describe those activities using past and PAST PARTICIPLE in order to achieve describe a busy schedule.
