Culture makes difference and difference makes the world. The new English Curriculum strives to develop students’ cultural awareness and establish respect for cultural differences through language learning process. In this part, students will touch a completely new currency—the Euro. It is not very familiar with my students. Because they are just about 15 or 16 years old and they lack relevant social experiences. So it may be difficult for my students to understand it at first. On the other hand, students of this age are eager to learn something new. And they are full of imagination and creativity.
