Paragraph 1
My name is Brandon and I began Humans of New York in the summer of 2010.I thought it would be really cool to create a catalogue of New York City’s people, so I set out to photograph 10,000 New Yorkers and put their photos on a map.(1) I worked for several months with this goal in mind.(2) But along the way, I started collecting quotes and short stories from the people I met.Taken together, these pictures and captions became the subject of a blog.(3) Blogs are popular with all age groups.(4) With over eight million followers on social media, HONY now provides a worldwide audience with daily looks into the lives of strangers in New York City.It has also become a #1 NYT bestselling book.
Paragraph 2
Learning a second language can provide a deeper understanding of a foreign culture.Social habits that may not make sense to most outsiders might start to make more sense after a few vocabulary lessons.For example, I always wondered why my Dutch cousins rarely said “you’re welcome” after I said “thank you”.(1) My cousin can speak English but sometimes makes mistakes.(2) At first, I thought he was being rude, but when I learned more about his language, I realized that they don’t use “you’re welcome” the same way we do: in response to “thank you”.(3) They actually say something that translates to “If you please” when they offer you something.(4) This is one of the first things I learned about Dutch culture when I started to learn their language and it gave me a different perspective on the roles of host and guest since in Dutch the onus to be polite is on the host, and not the guest as it seems to be in English.
Business cards are less important in American culture than they are in Asian culture. But knowing the right way to handle business cards is a useful skill wherever you are.
Requesting someone's business card is a straightforward(直截了当的、坦率的)process. You need only say: "Do you have a business card?" or "May I have your business card?"
When you want to present your own card, you can say, "Here's my card. Feel free to call me if you have any other questions." Or, you might say, "Please send the information to this address. I look forward to hearing from you soon."
It's not polite to directly refuse a request from someone for your business card. Instead, you can say, "Sorry, but I'm afraid I'm all out at the moment." or "l forgot to bring them with me."
When you do receive a card, say "Thank you" and examine it briefly before putting it away.
