how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying "You
don"t say!" I was puzzled, and I thought, "Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about." So I said to him. "Well,
shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?"
      "Certainly! Everyone at home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!"
"Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it." As I went on
more about it, he stopped me again, "You don"t say!"
      I couldn"t help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?"
      "Well, I don"t ask you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised.
      "Didn"t you say "You don"t say"?" I asked again.
      Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, " "You don"t say!" means "Really?". Perhaps
you know little about English idioms (习语)."

    Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of
Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that
miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
    On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren"t paying any attention
to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks?" The woman there
didn"t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the
woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".
    Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that
was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan
waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
    Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his
students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought
some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He
soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different
ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand
whether they mean "yes" or "no".

B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.

asked him to sing a song.
