Question 13 • Literacy and Comprehension B (WHS)

“In their entire conversation, the only point Sarah conceded to John was that the culture of her chosen destination was very different than American culture. While Sarah saw adapting to a new culture as an exciting adventure, experiencing a new culture can be a shock to some students who aren’t prepared to be away from familiar food, language and customs. Of course, the best way to limit ‘culture shock’ is to prepare! Take the time to learn about the customs of your chosen destination, before you arrive. If you have an understanding of the culture, it is more likely you will feel comfortable in your temporary home.”Summarize the argument and counterargument in this paragraph.

Answer

Answer:

The argument is that students can reduce culture shock by preparing and learning about the customs of the country before they travel. The counterargument is that some students may find a new culture overwhelming because it is very different from their familiar food, language, and customs.
