Student l: Yes,1'11try to answer that. people may think the way they do things or the way they view the world is "natural" and "correct."

Having an awareness of intercultural Communication Can help US Understand and deal with misunderstandings 、vhen they arise.1 think it is especiaⅡy important these days because people travel overseas for many reasons, such as Work, study, or vacations. The opportunities to meet people from Other countries have increased greatly. W辻h this increased contact, there are more chances for trouble between people from different Cultures. Professor: Right. As you said, studying interculturalcommunication is useful because ① ② ③ ④ 32 intercultural hlowledge encourages people to study in a foreign country Some ways of living are considered to be more correct than others there were many more cases of lntercultural comlnunication in the past We can cope with cultural misunderstandings more eaSⅡy and slnoothly Professor: Let's move on to the concept of "culture." You should know that because culture is a11 around us a11 the time, it is di丘icult to define. Therefore, we tend to discuss culture in terms of characteristics. Can anyone give an example of a cultural characteristic? 16 (2110-16) Student 2: The characteristic l found interesting is that people belonging to a Cult山'e have the same values, beliefs, and behaviors. values are things that are felt to be of worth,Ⅱke the Japanese concept of "mottainai." Beliefs are things that people believe to be true, and these cover a wide variety of areas. For example, people in a culture might share beliefs about the kinds of foods that are unacceptable. Behavior is about people's actions, and people in the same cuHure Can often be seen behaving similarly. Professor: That'sagoodexplanatlon.

Professor: ofcourse. Student 3: what about people who always seeln to be d廿ferent from those around than? solnetimes l don't do things in the same way as my friends. SO, if we need to have the same behavior for group memba'ship, does that mean those who are not the same aren't members of their cultura1 即'OUP? Professor: That's a good question. To answer it we need to think in tenns of Cultural nonns rather than individual examples. Student 3:气入rhat is a culturalnonn? Professor: we11, a cultural norm is a rule or standard of behavior shared by members of a cultural group. 17 (2110-17) Student 3: Then what happens to the people who do not f0ⅡOw the cultural norlns? Professor: we11, they may belong to a smaⅡer group, or a sub・cultural group, but that group is stiⅡ Considered to be part of the culture. This is true as long as their actions are within the acceptable limits of behavior for that particular culture. Student 3: SO, am l right in thinking that [二1三三コ? ① a culture contains groups that make up one larger group ② acting di丘erently isn't a110wed for group membershゆ ③ it is important to be in the 即'oup that f0110ws the cultural nonns ④ the n山nber of sub・cultural groups should be lilnlted Professor: Yes.1 hope this has deared thin宮S up for you.

No other art form creates excitement and moves the heart in the way that opera does, especia11y when performed by a great singer. such Singers are trained to present some of the greatest and most cha11enging music that has ever been composed for the human voice. ② Opera is an important part of the 叉入7estern classica1111Usic tradition.1t Uses music, words, and actions to bring a dramatic story to life. opera Started in naly at the end of the 16th century and later became popular throughout Europe. over the years, it has responded to various musical and theatrical developments around the world and contlnues to do so.1n recent decades, much wider audiences have been introduced to opera through modern recording techn010gy. some singers have become celebrities thanks to performing on radio, on television, and in the cinema. ③ However, in recent years, opera has been fadng serious chaⅡenges. The causes of solne of these are beyond its contr01. one current chaⅡenge to opera is economic. The current world economic slowdown has lneant that Iess money is available for culturalinstitutions and artists. This shortage of nloney raises the broader question of how much should be paid to support Opera singers and other artists. society seems to accept the large salaries Paid to business managers and the multi・mi11ion・d0Ⅱar contracts given to Sports athletes. But what about opera singers? somehow, people have the idea that artists can be creative only if they sU丘er in poverty, but this is Unrealistic:1f artists, including opera singers,1ack the support they need, Valuable talent is wasted. ④ Not only the shortage of money, but also the way money is managed in the opera world has led to hardshゆS. principal singers are genera11y paid Performance fees once they complete a show. They typicaⅡy receive nothing 30 (2HO-3の during the many weeks of rehearsal before a show starts. To prepare for a role, they must pay the costs of lessons and coaching sessions. H they becolne i11 0r canceltheir perfonnance, they lose their perfonnance fee. The insecurity of this system puts the future of opera at risk. ⑤ Another problaη faced by opera is how to meet the demands of audiences who are influenced by popular entertainment. pop singers are Often judged as much on the basis of how they look as how they sound. Therefore, opera singers, performing to audiences influenced by this popular Culture, are now expected to be " models who sing." These danands may be Unrealistic and possibly harmful. opera singers simply cannot make a sound big enough to fiⅡ a large theater or concert haⅡ Without a microphone 廿 their body weight is to010W. Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audiences to miss out on the human voice at its best. ⑥ There are no easy solutions to opera's problems and there are many d廿ferent opinions about the value of opera. However, every year many young people register for music courses with hopes and dreams of developing their talents in this special art fonn. The fact that opera has SⅢ'vived many obstacles and continues to attract the rising gena'ation demonstrates that it relnains a respected art fonn fUⅡ of value.
