What Australian immigrants need to know about Australian cultural concepts

# Australian Immigrants # Introduction People who come to live in Australia can always appreciate the differences between Australian culture and China culture. Maybe you think it is reasonable in China, but in Australia, many people will find it particularly strange and incomprehensible. Here are some Australian cultural concepts that Australian immigrants need to know. Welcome to read!

0 1, education

The purpose is to develop students' thinking and creativity. In Australia, teaching is mainly about discussion and debate. Teachers encourage students to speak freely, even play a role and be creative about the plot in the book. Students are free to express their views. Students who talk to their teachers after class and actively participate in classroom discussions can get high marks.

In addition, in Australia, although the amount of homework is not much, it is troublesome and time-consuming. For example, in literature class, the teacher asked the students to write a poem. After writing a poem, they should draw and color it according to the content of the poem. There are also many assignments submitted in the form of papers. It aims to cultivate students' creativity and thinking ability.

02, life articles

A car house is a necessity, not exclusive to the rich. When it comes to buying a house in Australia, it is basically buying an independent house. Which is what China people call a villa. This is basically an ordinary house, not for the rich. In Australia, owning a car and a house is not a measure of whether a person is rich or not, because everyone in Australia has a car and a house.

03, money articles

Being rich doesn't mean being expensive, and being rich doesn't mean being able to live. At present, most people in China have an understanding of aristocratic life. To put it bluntly, they live in villas, buy luxury cars, play golf, have free wealth, spend money like water, and be vividly portrayed to people. In fact, this is not aristocratic spirit. In Australia, it is easy to make mistakes when judging a book by its cover. Rich people don't rely on packaging, nor are they famous cars and mansions, but they are unknown, with neat white teeth (very important), bronzed skin (having the money to go on vacation to bask in the sun) and strong and handsome bodies (having time to go to the gym). The most important thing is a large number of donations to charitable associations and churches every year.

Nobles have been trained for at least three generations. Students sleep on hard beds, eat meager food, and receive very hard and strict training every day, which is even harder than civilian schools. In the minds of most people in China, wealth and nobility are the same, and there is no difference. But in fact, this is two different things. Richness is material, while preciousness is spirit.

04. Household goods

Both money and work should give way to family. In Australia, many people have family photos on their desks. Happy group photo, revealing the family concept of Australians. After work and weekends belong to the family, and all festivals are also quiet gatherings of the family. Recently, an Australian friend wanted to have a minor operation. Her husband canceled all business talks and would rather pay the negotiators' extended stay and accompany her for the operation. This is a typical embodiment of foreign family values.

05, marriage.

Divorced men are like grass, not to mention the situation in China. In the case of divorce in Australia, men have to give most of their property to their wives, and if their wives are unable to make money, they have to pay alimony to ensure that their living standards will not drop significantly after divorce. The upbringing of children is even more important. Most states stipulate that it should be paid to 18 years old, and there is no tax rebate for alimony paid by men. If a man divorces, his value will be greatly reduced immediately. The average man gets divorced and becomes poor immediately.

06. Workplace articles

Working in spite of illness is an irresponsible behavior. In Australia, you will find that life comes first, and you should rest when you are sick. It is irresponsible for yourself to persist in working despite illness. If you are not responsible for yourself, how can you expect to be responsible for others or work? In addition, the flu is contagious, and the doctor will tell you how long you need to stay at home and isolate yourself before you can go to public places. This is a manifestation of public morality and social responsibility.
