In the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness.Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation:at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend,the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time,On the other hand.the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast, in Brazil,neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States,but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00;many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.

The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time. In fact , Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States lateness is usually disrespectful and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North American, the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry.

As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him. Instead, they were simply behaving in the appropriate way for a Brazilian student in Brazil. Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior so that he could feel comfortable in the new.

I. Comprehension Questions:

1. What did the profressor decide to study? Who did the profressor study? How did he study them?

2. Did American students and Brazilian students have the same ideas about lateness in class? Do classes always begim and end at the appointed hour for both cultures?

3. What were the American students' and the Brazinlian students' ideas about being late for a lunch appointment?

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc... This may not be true in some other countries, however. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m, and end at 12 a.m. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 11 a.m. Although all of the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologised for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.

In American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. On the other hand, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but they also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at noon, many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time. In fact, Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States, lateness is usually considered to be disrespectful and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North America, the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry.

As a result for his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him. Instead, they were simply behaving the appropriate way for a Brazilian student in Brazil. Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior to feel comfortable in the new culture.

 

It can be inferred from the passage that__________.

A. Most American students arrive after the class has begun

B. Most Brazilian students leave immediately when the class is finished

C. Brazilian students often come late and leave early

D. For most Americans, being late is unacceptable

Đáp án D

Ý chính của đoạn văn là?
A. Ở Brazil, việc đúng giờ không quan trọng
B. Người ta được học về tầm quan trọng của thời gian từ khi còn nhỏ.
C. Ở USA, việc đến lớp đúng giờ là rất quan trọng.
D. Tầm quan trọng của việc đúng giờ tuỳ thuộc vào từng quốc gia khác nhau.

  Ý chính đã được khái quát rất rõ rang đoạn: “In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc... This may not be true in some other countries, however.”

  “Ở Mỹ, điều thiết yếu là phải đúng giờ, trong cuộc hẹn, giờ học, buổi họp mặt, … Tuy nhiên, điều này không hẳn đúng tại các nước khác.” Và suốt phần sau, tác giả nêu lên dẫn chứng cụ thể của việc trễ giờ tại Brazil để chứng minh mỗi nơi có một cách nhìn khác nhau về việc đúng giờ.

Dịch bài

  Ở Mỹ, người ta rất quan trọng việc đúng giờ trong một cuộc hẹn, cho giờ học hay một buổi họp mặt, v.v… Tuy nhiên, điều này không hẳn đúng tại một vài quốc gia khác. Một vị giáo sư người Mỹ đã nhận ra sụw khác biệt này trong thời gian giảng dạy tại một đại học của Brazil. Tiết học dài 2 giờ được lên lịch bắt đầu từ 10 giờ sáng và kết thúc vào 12 giờ trưa. Ngày đầu tiên, vị giáo sư lên lớp đúng giờ, và lúc đó không có ai trong phòng học. Rất nhiều sinh viên đến sau 11 giờ. Dù tất cả họ đều chào giáo sư khi vào lớp, rất ít người xin lỗi vì đến muộn. Liệu có phải những sinh viên này có chút bất nhã? Ông quyết định nghiên cứu hành vi của các sinh viên.

  Tại đại học Mỹ, sinh viên phải đến lớp đúng giờ. Ngược lại, tại Brazil, cả giảng viên và sinh viên đều không đến đúng giờ. Tại Mỹ, các tiết học bắt đầu đúng giờ và kết thúc theo thời gian quy định. Tại các lớp ở Brazil, rất ít sinh viên rời lớp giữa trưa, phần đông ở lại tới hơn 12:30 để thảo luận và đặt câu hỏi. Việc đến muộn không quá quan trọng tại Brazil, việc ở lại lớp muộn cũng tương tự.

          Theo kết quả nghiên cứu, vị giáo sư nghiệm ra rằng các sinh viên Brazil không hề thiếu tôn trọng ông. Thay vì vậy, họ chỉ đơn giản là đang cư xử đúng kiểu Brazil. Cuối cùng thì vị giáo sư đã có thể thích ứng và thoải mái với nền văn hoá mới
