Though I have lived in Canada for long time．I still haven't got used to the life there．This is probable because North American manners and Chinese manners are so different．
In China, being modest(谦逊的)are a virtue(美德)If someone praises you and says what your English is excellent, you should day, “No, My English is still poor．”And in North America, this is usually a sign of being weaker and not confident(自信的）．You should just say，“Thank you”
In the Canada, people only ask children about their ages．Beside, people in China often stand up to offer an elderly person a seat on the bus．In North America, however, an elderly person may feel embarrassing(尴尬的）about being offered a seat．
