Relationship is a fundamental and powerful tool that helps connect people. People who have healthy relationships in their lives usually achieve great goals and live better than those who don't. Therefore building relationships with other people is something everyone should do to have a healthier and richer life. Establishing relationships with people from the same background and culture who live in the same community as you can be quite simple. The reason for this is that people from the same community often use the same language and share similar traditions. However, building relationships with people from different cultures can be quite difficult and challenging. However, relationships between people from different cultures and countries can be beneficial in many ways, such as providing opportunities to learn new languages ​​and gain copious amounts of valuable knowledge about different cultures; however, some challenges include language barriers and differences in lifestyles. First, having the opportunity to learn new languages ​​is one of the many benefits that come from relationships between people from different countries. Most countries have their own language, so it is essential to learn another one to build relationships with people from other countries. For example, I only knew how to speak Vietnamese before I came to the United States. However, knowing that I will have to establish new relationships when I come to the United States, I need to learn English. Knowing English has helped me a lot because I am able to communicate with other people at school. More importantly, I have more advantages and opportunities when I apply for a job knowing more than one language. Another example is f...... half of the paper ......(128). In this example it is clearly seen that Old Ding and his family have no problem washing themselves using river water; however, Salzman refuses to do so because he is concerned about personal hygiene. Furthermore, because Salzman refuses to wash himself, his friends think he is dirty and begin to question him about the American lifestyle. From this it can be concluded that people from different countries have different lifestyles from each other and this can pose a difficulty when trying to establish relationships with other people. In conclusion, relationships with people from other countries are definitely beneficial in these ways that provide the opportunity to learn new languages ​​and gain valuable new knowledge about different cultures; however, some challenges that everyone faces are the language barrier and differences in lifestyles.
