【Transcript】
Tina: Hi! Emma, long time no see. How was your life in England?
Emma: Is you, Tina! I?m glad to see you. I was back to China a few days ago. I had a great time in my study in England. It is a beautiful country and the people there are very kind, although sometime I got myself embarrassed because of the different culture.
Tina: Really？What?s the exact difference between the west culture and the east culture? Could you give me some examples?
Emma: My pleasure! You never know how polite British people are in public places. Whatever they go to buy tickets or food, they all like to queue up! They comply so much with the public order. And all people in England think that honesty is an important factor to judge whether a person has good character or not. They hate liars!

【Translation】
蒂娜：艾玛，好久不见了。在英国过得怎么样？
艾玛：是你呀，蒂娜。很高兴见到你。我是前几天回国的。 我在英国的学习很愉快，虽然有时因为文化的差异让我成为笑柄，但是英国真的是个美丽的国家，英国人很友好。
蒂娜：真的吗？西方文化和东方文化到底有什么不同呢？你能举些例子吗？
艾玛：非常荣幸，你绝对没想到英国人在公共场合多么有礼貌。无论是去买票还是买食物，他们都很遵守公共秩序，自觉排队。 人们普遍认为诚实与否是衡量一个人是否具有良好素质的重要因素，说谎者在当地是不受欢迎的。
