Conflict resolution role cards


Canadian:
You are a Canadian man. You are having your first date with a Korean exchange student. You took her to a diner. Your hamburger and coke come to about 10 dollars so you take out 13 dollars. Your date ordered spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and a coke. That comes to 14.00 so you ask your date for 17.00. She should actually put in 17.50, but you want to seem like a nice guy, not a cheap guy. This should improve your chances of getting to kiss your date good night.When you ask her for the money, it seems to upset her. Use the 4 steps to solve this problem.

1. Both people explain what they find unusual about the other's behavior.2. Each person realizes the other's cultural perceptions.3. Each person learns how the problem would be handled in the other's culture.4. Together, the two people develop conflict solutions.


Korean:
You are a Korean exchange student. You are on your first date in Canada. You've just enjoyed a great dinner, but the meals in Canadian diners are too big and you couldn't finish. Your date helped you by eating one of your two large meatballs and one of your 3 pieces of garlic bread. Now he's asking you for 17.00 but you don't understand why he asked you out on a date and is unwilling to pay for your meal, especially on the first date. He should pay for the meal and you should buy coffee afterwards. Plus he wants you to pay for everything you ordered, even though he had one of your meatballs and one piece of garlic bread. Is he cheap or is there some cultural conflict at work here? Use the 4 steps to solve the problem.

listen to the song I miss you(blink 182) and complete the lyricsc

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
the shadow in the background of the morgue
the unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
we can live like Jack and Sally if we want
where you can always find me
we'll have Halloween on Christmas
and in the night we'll wish this never ends
we'll wish this never ends
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
this sick strange darkness
comes creeping on so haunting every time
and as I stared I counted
webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)

call my cousin

one month ago I called my cousin, who is living in L.A. I was talking with him for 30 minutes, and he told me that he was happy there, and how was the school, and his new life. He told me that he missed all the family. And because he is studing english, he want to practice and me too. so it was fun

reflection: in this activity a practice my english with a person who is living in US and a tried to explain my cousin and speak in the best way I can do. jijiji
