Karyna Kovalevska is an online influencer from Ukraine. She loves to explore China and share her experiences online. With over 700,000 followers on Douyin, Karyna has travelled to more than 70 cities in China, recording her journeys along the way.
Karyna's journey with the Chinese language began when she was at a university in her hometown of Kharkiv. At first, she found the characters and tones very difficult. "I almost gave it up," she said. But at last, she decided to keep trying. After a month of hard work, the language started to make sense to her, and her studies became much easier.
In 2019, Karyna visited China for the first time during a summer camp. In the same year, she met a Chinese man. They started as friends, but their friendship blossomed into (发展成) love. In 2022, she moved to China and lived in her husband's hometown.
Now, Karyna creates videos about her life in China, sharing Chinese culture. She enjoys how people often eat at round (圆形的) tables during meals. In Ukraine, people usually eat at square or rectangular (长方形的) tables. Karyna thinks the round table shows friendship and togetherness.
Karyna is also planning to continue her studies in China. She believes the country is very open and friendly to foreigners. More and more foreign people are moving to China each year. Karyna invites everyone to come and see the charm (魅力) of China for themselves!

Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you're not careful enough. Let's take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings.
Let's start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指).
The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means "everything is fine" or "perfect". However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for "zero" or "nothing". Clearly, this emoji's meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures!
The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others.
The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you'd better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.
Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures.
( ) 31. In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude
A. Asia. B. The Middle East.
C. North America. D. Australia.

C. It has the same meaning in all cultures.
D. It is impolite in most European countries.
( ) 34. What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam
A. Using folded hands to say thanks.

Dear Lucy,
I'm glad to hear that you are coming to China this summer vacation. Let me tell you some manners and customs in our country.
Firstly, when meeting someone for the first time, you should shake hands instead of hugging or kissing him or her. Secondly, if you visit a Chinese friend, you should make a call in advance. It is polite to bring your friend a small gift and arrive on time. Thirdly, Chinese people usually use chopsticks at table and have some tea after meals. And you should eat up the food that the host gives you. Last but not least, remember that when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I hope that the advice is helpful. Please feel free to ask me if you want to know more.
Yours,
Li Wei
