Case 1
John and Ji are student , but they come from different country which have different culture. Why are John and Ji having difficulties talking to each other? Is Ji interested in talking to John? There is a lot of silence in the conversation. Do each person feels when there is silence? What could John do differently so that Ji would talk more? What could Ji do differently? When does John Jit to end the conversation? When john says: “ talk to you later”. Is john really planning to talk to Ji later? What does this phrase mean? I’ll explain it in order to understand clearly about the conversation.
John and Ji are having difficulties talking to each other because they come from differing culture. Therefore, they have difference in conversation , and they don’t understand each other. Moreover , the American is friendly, talkative, but the Asian is introvert, pushy, not confident when they talk with stranger. I don’t think Ji is interested in talking to John because the Asian don’t want to be asked too much. In Asian, they don’t ask what people do. It’s impolite in Asian country. I think that each person feels embarrassed when there is a silence because they don’t understand what other thinks and what they will talk next. I think John should talk slowly and have some suggestion for Ji in order that Ji talk more. Besides, John shouldn’t interrupt Ji in order to create comfortableness for Ji. On the other hand, Ji should become open and outgoing. Besides, Ji should talk more and have some question to John in order to show John that Ji is friendly.
John says “ talk to you later” to end the conversation. I think John isn’t planning to talk to Ji later because he feels boring when he talks to Ji. He can’t feel Ji’s goodwill. Furthermore, they don’t have the same point because they have different culture
In conclusion , culture affects

    John comes from a tight knit family who owns their own soybean farm. His father hopes that John will attend business school and help manage the family farm. However, he wants to do something else with his life. When Ashbe asks him what he would like to become, he states, I dont know. I wanted to be a minister or something good, but I dont even know if I believe in God (1:1:280). John expresses that he wants to be a minister however, his problems in life are breaking his spirit and his belief in God diminishes as he fill his life with immoral acts like meeting up with hookers. John also says, I never used to worry about being a failure. Now, I think about it all the time. Its just I need to do something thats fulfilling (1:1:282). So, it is evident that John does not believe managing the soybean farm is rewarding. Even though he does not want to work on the farm, John feels obligated to please his father. In contrast, Ashbe comes from a impoverish family and lives in a messy dilapidated apartment with her father, who leaves her there alone. She has very little contact with her mother and sister due to the fact that they live in Atlanta. Ashbe expresses her loneliness with creativity she learned from her mother. She also tries to help John explore his own ambitions and not allow others to make his decisions for…

    While reading about the second learner John, I read that he had used precision first. In using precision first, he stumbled over everything he was trying to say and also had written too much unnecessary information. With John doing this, it led his family to confusion and made it hard to plan anything. Seeing as how this was the only way of communication for him at the time, John should have written a more simple direct message and paid more attention to whom his audience was. Field Fitting this situation can be a difficult process in the since that without all the information needed, it is hard to rearrange anything . As for his family, I would have told them to take out the extra things he had to say and try to focus more on the importance. My advice for john would be that when writing anything, make sure you know your audience, and to pay attention to what you're writing and who you are writing it to; especially if it's the only form of communication you have available to you.…
