Learning about a country’s culture, say American’s is important before we enter the
culture. You know, Americans tend to speak directly. When they disagree with someone’s
opinion, for example, they will directly express that. It is different from us. We tend to be
indirectly saying about what we want.
Second, differences in dealing with personal distances. Well…Americans tend to require
more personal space than we do, which means they don’t like standing too close to the people
they are speaking to. This might be offending, but actually… it’s an American’s custom. When
someone feels you are standing too close, he or she may step back without even thinking about
it.
Be careful, we should also consider our conversation topics, especially when we meet
them at the first time. For example, we Indonesians tend to be friendly by asking one’s personal
data like age, previous or current relationship at the first time we meet him/her. It’s normal for us,
isn’t it? However, for Americans, it’s considered impolite, especially when you ask about age,
like, “How old are you?” previous or current relationship, for example: “Do you have a
girlfriend?”, “Are you married?’; appearance or weight, for example: “What is your weight? And
“You look so fat now. Do you gain much weight?”etc.

Many different systems of physical exercise are designed to improve the health and appearance of the body. But in my opinion only Hartha Yoga, a form of Yoga

consisting of various positions, exercises the whole body.

First, facial muscles for example, can be made firmer by daily performance of “The Lion”, a posture that imitates the face of roaring lion.

Next, back muscles can become more flexible by regular practice of “The Cobra”, a posture that imitates the arching head of that poisonous snake.

And “The Crow”, which resembles the headstand, is said to improve circulation and relieve tension.

In short, Hartha Yoga has good chance of making someone get good health and perfect body.

A. The bad effect.

B. The positive side.
C. The negative side.
