As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way some words are used. Let's look at some words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example. "a homeless dog" "a mad do" "a running do "and "a dog catching a mouse", have negative meanings(贬义). But in Western countries, dogs are considered to be honest and good friends of humans. In England, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, "You are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person's serious illness, they say" sick as a dog". The word "dog-tired" means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in Western culture, "cat" is often used to describe a woman who is cruel(残酷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used differently as well.
The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some Western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England. America and many other countries.
The words about animals and plants are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.

It helped us know more at the same time, we made many good friends. In the first term of Grade 8. I won prizes in drawing and English speech competitions. When I was in Grade 9, l started to give all my attention to my studies because I was going to take the high school entrance exam.
Whenever I think of my school life. I feel very happy and I think in everybody's school life there are many ups and downs that influence his life.
