    First of all, the differences in sociolinguistic rules shows that language users have different cultural backgrounds; moreover, the relationship between language and culture can be proved by the grammar and vocabulary usage in expressions.

Whereas, we do not have these kinds of grammatical structures in Chinese; therefore it leads to a confusion for Chinese students when they are learning English. Besides, there are some misunderstandings that result from using inappropriate vocabularies because of the cultural differences. For example, some Chinese may offer the seat to elders on the buses and they may say: “come here and be safe, old woman.” However, we cannot call somebody which is starting with the word “old” in English. It is an impoliteness and a taboo in…
