  4. Denmark: better, quieter in rural dwellings UK: congested roads and traffic jams Denmark: houses with different styles UK: less distinctive in the country side All in all, Doug prefers living in Denmark. Differences between UK and Denmark Two Pictures of Doug’s house in Denmark

  5. Cultural and Language Gains • The subjects are often deleted. • Ex: “Would like to see the animals in natural surroundings.”—the subject “I” is deleted. • The writing style is rather informal. • Ex: Instead of “Mr. Gladwyn,” my e-pal prefers me to call him “Doug.” • “make a move for the better” means “make a change for better living.”

  6. Cultural and Language Gains • “have chance to taste the fruits of each land” means “have a chance to visit both locations and get to know something of both places.” • At the end of each mail, my e-pal often uses “Take good care and stay safe. Till next time” as greeting. • When using a flashlight to see something, you can use “shine a light to something.” • White rose is a sign of peace.

  7. Comments and Reflection • When having an exchange like a e-pal, it is important to “listen” and “reply.” • That is, to listen to what your e-pal trying to express and reply him or her question first to show you care. • Read the e-mail carefully to show respect. • It is impolite to ask something that your e-pal had mentioned earlier in the e-mail or mistake one thing as something else.
