Friendship across Cultures Vol. 1 | Page 29

Hello,

Our names are Bruna Silva (Portugal) and Salma Sabil (Morocco) and we are going to write about friendship across cultures.

The advantage of friendships across cultures

.

Friends are true to each other! They are fun and entertaining, give emotional support, allow us to learn new things and to grow as individuals. When we become friends with people from different cultures, it adds something more to this list.

These are just some examples:

Interaction:

Interacting with people from different cultures is a great advantage. We learn many different things and we know a little more about the world. It also gives us an opportunity to improve our proficiency in English.

Multiculturalism:

The main advantage of having friends from different cultures is that it promotes multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is the understanding of different cultures, races and religions.

Knowledge:

One of the main advantages of making friends from different cultures is that it makes us know a little more about the world, we learn new things and we become more educated.

Friends are very important in everyone's life. Some friends share a lot of our important moments in life, whether good or bad, but does this happen between friends from different parts of the world? That is, can we build a strong friendship with a person living on the other side of the world and whose culture is different from ours?

Friendship across cultures means communication between people with different habits, languages and cultures, and thus having a friend from outside our known world.

In conclusion

.

To make friends with people from different countries, with different religions and cultures, we need to understand their way of living: traditions, beliefs, religion,... it maybe not be easy and we need to have open minds and understand different cultures.

To have a friend from a different culture has many positive aspects and we have learned many things with this exchange project and experience. In short, this whole

experience was amazing and we really liked learning new, different things like types of food, different places, different habits and customs.
