Read the【Case Reflection】in this section and answer the following questions:

To improve students' interests in English learning, Mr W once invited a foreign friend to his class. After a brief introduction, he left the classroom to make them feel comfortable about communicating freely. There was a short silence as the shy Chinese students would not speak first. The foreigner in response walked over to the students and greeted them. This gradually started the conversation. But afterwards the friend complained to him that the students were too curious about her private life and they made her feel as if she was being interrogated by a judge, because most of the questions were; How old are you? Are you married? How much money do you make?

Do you know why the foreign friend complained?

Language is a part of culture and also the carrier of it. Learning language, therefore, is inseparable from learning culture. Language teaching and learning are also closely related to the cultivation of beneficial emotional states and attitudes.
