Features: This book, along with its companion volume Oxford Culture Link English 1 - OUR OWN STORIES, was written to spark English learners' interest in the cultures of English-speaking countries and other nations, broaden their background knowledge, and simultaneously enhance their reading, vocabulary, and conversational skills. The book features 20 concise and engaging short stories. The protagonists in these stories have encountered misunderstandings and even comical awkward situations due to cultural differences. Don't think these stories don't relate to you—given that we all live in this vast yet small global village, such incidents could one day happen to you. The reading passages in this book are relatively short and contain limited vocabulary, making them suitable for intermediate and advanced-level students. It forms a progressive learning curve alongside OUR OWN STORIES, but in terms of the cultural background knowledge it covers, it caters to learners and users of all levels. Even English teachers and those specializing in cross-cultural communication can find a wealth of useful material here to enrich their teaching and research, truly a book that is universally praised and rewarding to read.
