Tuesday's assignment

                                                          Myth or fact

The idea that cold weather causes a cold or flu is a common myth. Many people believe it, but it is not in fact true. Write a short email to a friend or a family member telling him/her other examples of common beliefs about health that have been proven to be untrue.

Ask one of your peers to check your writing before publishing.

Hi Tom,

I am glad to write email to you. Hope everything is going well. I had a class conversation about myth yesterday. It was very interesting. 

Sometimes, different culture have different myth. Do you remember we have ever talk about the myth of shooting star. In my hometown, the bad thing will happen when you see the shooting star fly over the sky. It is different from some other culture, like west world. People would like make a good wish when they see the shooting star. Ha! what should I do? 

So we should learn the native myth to void misunderstand when you come to another country.

Hi Tom,

I am glad to write this email to you. Hope everything is going well. I had a conversation class about heath myths yesterday. It was very interesting. 

Sometimes, different culture has different myths. Do you remember when we used to talk about the myth of shooting stars. In my hometown, the bad thing will happen when you see the shooting star fly over the sky. It is different from some other culture, like the West. People would like to make a good wish when they see the shooting star. Ha! What should I do? 

So we should learn the cultural myth to void misunderstanding when you move to another country.
