What are some common misconceptions about your country? This the topic for my students' next Student Newspaper issue. It lead to aninteresting discussion!
Ok, me first.
New Zealand?
1. We are the same as Australians (wrong!)
2. It is clean and green (wrong!)
3. It's part of Australia (wrong!)
4. It's safe (wrong!)
New Zealand is a separate country and we are less competitive or pushy and more intelligent than Australians. OUr clean green image is just that - an image - and the reality is that we are no cleaner than anywhere else when it comes to espcially our lakes and waterways as an example. It is not much safer here than in other western countries so I tell my students to never go out walking at night alone.
I wanna hear yours! Especialyl about Korea or Japan!
