Chapter 4

In chapter 4, weather, clothes, and careers were the main topics. In dealing with weather I learned that in summer and winter in tropical countries are defined by degrees of dryness and wetness becase of the hemispheric position. This is also the same for the United States. States that are by a body of water tend to get a lot of rain while states in the middle maybe dry. Chapter 4 also discusses what and what not to wear in different occasions. For instance it is best to wear a skirt, dress, blouse, or pants to a job interview, and things like a T-shirt and shorts when you are just lounging around. The topic of greeting others was also spoken of again in this chapter. Most embrace with a hug and a kiss in the spanish speaking countries while in America it is normal to just wave or give a simple hug. It is very rare to see someone kiss when greeting each other unless they are a couple. In Argentina and Uruaguay, it is not rare for people to greet there friends with a kiss. In chapter 4 the greeting of other people are the only thing that is slighty different. Everything else such as weather and appropriate clothing are the same as the culture here in America.
