We group chose this a good paper of the Challenges and benefits of interviewing an international student:

Did you ever want to know how people from different cultural backgrounds shape their beliefs, values, and personalities? The benefit of meet an international students and talk to them. First, you allow yourself to learn more about other’s culture. You can see what the difference between your culture and other’s culture. Make friends from all over countries, religion and culture. Get experiences from other’s people   and deal with people from different country. That also will allow you to think carefully about other’s religion and culture. In addition more known to your life experience. Different countries have different belief systems that are based on their own cultures. In order to highlight these differences, I would like to write about challenges and benefits of international student’s daily lives. My microsystem as a child greatly influenced the personality, values, and beliefs that I have today, but if I had grown up in the microsystem of international students my values and beliefs would likely be very different. That is to say when we want to learn a second language we not only have to makes sense of words and grammar but also to understand the deeper meaning; slang like that the professor heard when he first came to America makes that especially hard. I think an international student doesn’t lose our language identity and culture when international students study aboard. The difficulty of learning a second language is also caused by the language rules, combining that all, learning a second language is the enculturation; we might change boundary fits to adjust to cultures, and this is included in language.

International students and I come from different cultures, so we had very different childhood microsystems. We discussed how to challenges different cultural principles work in family, classroom, and traditions with other countries people. Every country is completely different culture models. The biggest cultural differences between the two countries are especially evident when analyzing the family, classroom, tradition. Power distance is a concept from intercultural communications that highlights these differences. I discuss this topic with international for a long time. I really learned a lot of information about different countries’ culture of power distance and culture background. I think it is good for the families to treat children equally. However, it also depends on the cultural background and society. Language and culture is very important in the world; and I will continue to learn a lot about language from people of other cultures. In this way, I can have a good time when communicating with people and make a lot of friends. I think that cultural communication plays an important role in my life. For this essay, I can learn more skills about how to learn a second language, and give many ideas on how to communicate better with people from different cultural backgrounds.
