为什么雅思口语考官不懂你在说什么

　　There is also the factor of difference in culture. There is a word or a phrase that would mean Im sorry to a certain province of a particular culture but mean I wish you would die to another province of the same culture. The examiner must be quick and broadminded enough to understand that the examinee may mean no harm and that it is just a matter of cultural differences. There was one time I heard of a foreigner who was trying to invite the native people to join him in eating dinner. He was being polite and he surely meant very well but it did not come out that way to the people he was inviting. The way it was said, sounded as you eat and you have no shame. I had to tell these people that what the foreigner meant was to invite them to join him to eat dinner and not to insult them. Good thing that the people did not take offense and politely smiled at the foreigner. They also did not forget to thank him for his kind gesture to them. Luckily, there was a translator for them so that both parties could understand each other clearly.

　　There was once a Japanese man who married a lady from Thailand. This lady was meek, sweet, submissive and have a tiny voice. She tried her best to learn Japanese language in order to understand and be understood by the people she is now surrounded with. She also made efforts to enhance her English speaking skill. Because of her hard work and persistence, there was progress on her part. Though she could now speak fluent Japanese language, she was not able to master the proper accent, intonation and diction. This caused trouble for her with her mother in law. While she tried her best to fit in to the Japanese culture, it sounded as if she was being rude to the mother of her husband. Of course the mother in law would complain to her son about the rudeness of his wife. The confused wife would then tell his husband about what happened and what words she said to her mother in law. The husband came to the analysis and conclusion that everything was just about cultural differences.
