THE CULTURE OF 2 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES NEFTALI BARRIENTOS MARTINEZ ESL FOR HOSPITALITY 5 TEACHER: KAYLIN WAINWRIGHT El Salvador and the USA have very different cultures. First, the Salva- doran gastronomy is very different than the United States. Both have deli- cious food dishes. Some- thing that differentiates it from the Salvadoran is that El Salvador has its own dishes and the USA has dishes from other countries. Both cultures have popular food. An example of Salvadoran food is Pupusas and for America, the Hamburg- er. Both are delicious dishes we can try one day. Second, El Salvador has a different language than the United States. Salvadorans speak Span- ish and Americans speak English but both lan- guages are important if we want to travel to those countries. For ex- ample, we can learn a little bit of the language for communicating and enjoying everything they offer. Third, we can see different laws in these 2 countries and respect and learn according to the laws. For example, when you drive in El Salvador you can’t see speed cam- eras but in the USA you will see speed cameras if you are visiting or liv- ing there. In conclusion, we have different cultures in these 2 countries. It’s necessary to respect or learn them to feel com- fortable and enjoy every- thing in both countries. 49
