English - Cultures (Enders Game)

Cultures (Enders Game)

I go to a multi-cultural school, with many different backgrounds, including Pasifika, Maori, Filipino, etc. I get along well with my classmates of different cultures. I know about Maori culture, and I have learnt some Tagalog (Filipino). I learnt about Maori culture in Maori class, and I learnt some Tagalog from my Filipino friends. Some advantages of being around different cultures are: we can learn about how other people have been brought up, so we can understand people more. We can learn about other cultures, and be more cultural people. Some disadvantages are: we may be made fun of for our beliefs, cultures, and values. A challenge of interacting with people from other cultures is that they may take what you are saying the wrong way, because they may not be able to understand you. When approaching someone from another country, greet them with a hello in the language they understand. Overall, I enjoy going to a multi-cultural school, and I like interacting with students and teachers from other cultures.
