A very mean teacher 9/17

Rab's words at the beginning of the class made me panic. He mentioned that my section's book review was terrible, the worst class he ever had in his life. I was very shocked, did not know what to do, looked down not to see Rab's face because I was in a full of fear. However, this fear will be gone soon by recognizing that Rab's behavior was a joke.  He pretended he was joking and send some signals to some students telling " It is a joke!". All Rab did was just winked at some students. This signals means a joke in western culture. I did not even realized about the wink because I was looking down most of the time. Therefore, it took me a little time to understand Rab was joking, but it relieved  me from the fear.


At the same, time, I recognized I was lucky when I lived in London. I did not have big misunderstanding with British people and caused a big problem. However, it is necessary to have knowledge of different cultures to work at the foreign countries. This article is a very good opportunity for me to understand the misunderstanding different cultures.
