While completing your tasks, you have used the internet to locate, gather
and analyse data. You have had the opportunity to explore some important
aspects of China: its religions, beliefs, arts, and current events.
Think about the people you know. Do they ever surprise you with what they
do? People have different needs and goals so sometimes they are pleasant and
friendly, but sometimes they can be aggressive and mean. If people can be this
way, it shouldn't be a surprise that a country made up of billions of people
and with a long and changing history might act in surprising ways too.
You may like to pursue your studies of Chinese culture further by locating
a student in China and conducting an email exchange. This will provide you
with a more personal link with the culture. You may also like to learn a few
words and phrases in Chinese - it's great fun.
