meals and habits to the dinner table.

What culture you have depends on not only where you live, but also when you were born. Every human society has its own culture. To me, culture is how people live their daily lives.
— Li Ling
Culture today is different from what it was 20 years ago. I think it’s important to find a balance between traditional and modern culture. You don’t want to lose the old culture, but you also want to grow and change with the times.
— Wang Teng
The language we speak, the way we say things, and what is considered polite or not — all this depends on our culture.
— Zhao Hui
Art is a form of culture. So are customs and beliefs. Culture goes beyond these. It includes our values, beliefs, and behaviours. Understanding the similarities and differences between cultures around the world helps us make the world better.

In my opinion, culture is like a living story that shapes who we are. It includes not only the food we eat and the festivals we celebrate, but also our values, beliefs, and the way we treat others. For example, in my family, we always have a big dinner on Spring Festival Eve. This tradition teaches me about the importance of family and togetherness, which is a big part of our culture.
Do you feel any difference when you travel to a new place Why Use your own experience as an example to explain it.

Requirements:
·Use English to talk about a real travel experience and the cultural differences you felt.
·Explain why these differences exist.
Yes, I definitely feel differences when I travel. Last summer, I went to Xiamen with my family. The food there was very different from my hometown. They eat a lot of seafood and sweet soups, which we don't have at home. Also, people there speak a different dialect. These differences show that culture changes from place to place, and it's exciting to learn about new ways of life.
