Writing exercise

The culture chinese are very different to french. For exemple: in france is not polite to spit, fart or burp in subway, restaurant, anywhere in public. Chine people are individualist to compare occidental people. They’re push you all the time everywhere, don’t respect the order of line… it’s all the time “me first and i don’t care about you”. In france you help deseas people or old people here i can’t because i’m afraid they ask me money after (attack in process, lawsuit). They try all the time to robber you because you are stanger. I’m not confidance to chinese people only my friends chinese.

Edited

The Chinese culture is very different from French. For example, in France it is not polite to spit, fart or burp in the subways, restaurants, or in public/ anywhere in public. Chinese people are selfish compared to Occidental people. They push you all/most of the time, don’t respect waiting in line…  All the time it’s “me first and i don’t care about you”. In France you help disabled/hurt people or elders/elderly people, here i can’t because i’m afraid they will ask me for money after (attack in process, lawsuit). ***Review this***They try all the time to rob you because you are a stranger. I’m not confident with Chinese people only my Chinese friends.
